LEAD
LEAD is MAD Hockey’s coach education and support pillar.
It exists to help coaches grow their confidence, clarity and impact — not by telling them what to do, but by supporting them to coach with purpose.
​
Through mentoring, workshops and practical guidance, LEAD helps coaches design better sessions, communicate more effectively, and create environments where players feel supported, challenged and motivated to learn.
​
Because when coaches grow, everyone benefits.
Why Quality Coaching Matters
​
High-quality coaching has a powerful ripple effect.
​
When coaches are well-supported and confident in their approach:
-
Players enjoy training more and stay involved longer
-
Learning becomes clearer and more meaningful
-
Confidence and decision-making improve
-
Club culture becomes more positive and consistent
Strong coaching doesn’t just improve performance — it strengthens clubs, supports volunteers, and creates environments where young people want to belong.
LEAD exists to support that process, helping coaches feel equipped, valued and effective in the role they play.
