End in Mind
Hockey is a fast-paced,
interactive and highly skilled
sport. Players continually
move into different positions,
at varying speeds and are
required to rapidly assess
changing situations and make
decisions.
In looking to develop young
hockey players that enjoy the
sport and can progress to the
highest level, Great Britain
Hockey has started with the ‘End
in Mind’ and identified five key
characteristics of world-leading
hockey players – the things that
we are really looking to develop
in players to make them the
most effective on the pitch.
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
and/or (3) the Game?
