Values – a masterclass by Adam Commens
Adam Commens played for Australia at the Olympics, coached for both Belgium and Australia at the Olympics and following Rio 2016 settled in Belgium to lead the high performance teams to further successes. One of the key factors of the rise of Belgium in international hockey has been their Values Based Coaching approach.
Adam Commens spoke briefly about this concept in a podcast by Studio Hockey during the 2019 European Championships. Listen to a short clip from this here:

Adam CommensHigh Performance DirectorFormer international player for Australia, Adam Commens, found a new home in Belgium. As a coach he was the one who qualified Belgium for the first time in almost 4 decades for the Olympics again (Beijing 2008). He coached his original home country Australia at the Rio Olympics before returning to Belgium where he became the high performance director overseeing all national teams and youth development. As such he was one of the architects of the meteoric rise of Belgium culminating in gold medals at the World Cup (2018) and Olympics (Tokyo 2021).
