Matthias Becher is a young and coming German coach with some strong views that caught our eye. We asked him to share his insights on "Game intelligence. How to develop it. How to train it."... So please join us live in this Coach Chat at Friday 2018-03-23 at 12:30h (CET)... or when you're too late for this party 😉 watch the video below with a full replay (for logged in viewers only). Matthias is involved in the coaching staff of Mannheim HC (German champions 2017) since 2009. Since 2011 he has had several coaching positions with different German national teams such as assistant coach at the recent junior world cup for the German U21 men or video analyst in Rio 2016 for the men.
Every Coach Chat session is followed by a Q&A with our coach-speaker. You can ask him/her your questions. We prefer these to be on topic but in case you have an unrelated but pertinent question for this coach feel free to ask it as well by leaving your comment below or contact us here. We will try and have all questions you ask us answered during the Coach Chat session.
Meanwhile take a look at our previous coach chat with Jamilon Mülders, head coach China, on communication here... 😉

At what age would you start training more on game intelligence? And what is your tip for a coach of a team where not all players have the same (top) level?

I'm always hearing how important speed is in the modern game. Would you say game intelligence has more impact in a game versus speed & power? Or versus a top penalty corner specialist for example? Why?
