Welcome to our what’s in the bag series!
What’s up my friends! Jeremy Weiss here with Weiss Tech Hockey, and welcome back to our “What’s in the Bag?” series. This is where I’m going through my Weiss Tech Essentials and showing you all the tools that I use as a coach with my own teams.
This series is on-going… so click the link below for the full Table of Contents.
This coaching tool isn’t technically “In the Bag…” But it’s an absolute essential from my perspective. I’m talking about CoachThem, a computerized drill diagrammer and practice planner that will skyrocket your effectiveness and efficiency as a coach!

Why do I use and recommend CoachThem?:
- IT MAKES ME A BETTER COACH – Organizing development is arguably a coach’s biggest job. CoachThem makes it much easier to stay organized and keep your players improving at an optimal pace.
- EASY TO USE – CoachThem’s user interface is intuitive and easy to use. This lets me quickly diagram new drills and edit existing drills.
- TIME SAVER – CoachThem saves me hours in practice planning time each week. I can build new practice plans or repurpose old ones in no time.
- INSPIRATION FOR NEW DRILLS – CoachThem comes preloaded with many awesome drills. I tap into my shared libraries all the time when looking for new ways of teaching a concept.
- TAGGING – Often drills fit into more than one development category… for example, a drill could be a passing drill, AND a timing drill, AND a shooting drill. CoachThem lets you tag a drill with everything it features. Then you can sort by tag based on your needs as you plan your practice.
- CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT – CoachThem is still actively developing the product and releasing new features. I’ve been using it since 2018, and it just keeps getting better.
If you’re looking to improve your coaching, and create fun practices that boost development to new levels, then CoachThem is a must.

Hope it helps! See you in the next video!
