Our next session design coach chat features Coach Pholo 🇿🇦 sharing her practice with a focus on 1v1 elimination.
Coach Pholo
Coach Pholo played the Athens Olympics as a player for South Africa. She also played football and even represented her country at a world cup in touch rugby as well. Following her playing days she turned to coaching. She became a level 4 accredited FIH coach as well as a renowned coach educator for the FIH Academy. Today she runs her own hockey academy, coaches for the University of Johannesburg an is the striker coach for the SA national men’s team.
1v1 elimination
1v1 elimination is a core skill for hockey players. Whatever the position the play. Pholo will be building a 90 minute practice for your team focussed on the skills of 1v1 elimination. We will be using a tool called XPS for our session design. XPS is the most comprehensive coaching software out there. It includes a playbook feature to make your own drawings, diagrams and animations to visualise your drills or games. A library to store all of your drills and exercises. An interactive calendar to start planning your next team practice by drag & drop from the library, logging attendance to keep up the stats and launching questionnaires to all of your players to request their training load or other feedback automatically following each training. We’ll show you how it works, but we’ll also make sure the chats and practice design sessions are useful to you if you do not want to use XPS yourself.
