Regardless of age or stage, the purpose of the talent pathway is to support the development
of players who are:
HIGHLY SKILLED AND CREATIVE
Players who can execute highly adaptable skills
and tactical understanding under pressure.
WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN ATTITUDE
Players that consistently thrive and look to develop
themselves and teammates.
EFFECTIVE DECISION MAKERS
Players who implicitly understand the game and
link these to the skills required to deliver performance.
SELF-ORGANISING
Players that transfer best practice based on tactical and experiential
knowledge and can adapt in order to perform.
FAST AND ROBUST
Players who are consistently available and motivated for long-term
training, and ready for the technical, tactical, physiological,
psychological, social and emotional demands of international hockey.
A key guiding question to help players’ development is:
Based on the player(s) needs and his/her/their age and stage, to move towards the ‘End in
Mind’, what does your player(s) need, in relation to:
1. Their Individual qualities
2. The Environment
3. And/or the Game?
