Why Train by Player Type?

The Problem

Most players train without a plan that matches who they are. A power forward and a playmaker need completely different development paths — but they're often doing the same drills in the same camps. Hard work without direction is just fatigue.

The Fix

Start with identity. Take the Player Types Quiz to discover your archetype blend — your primary playing style plus the secondary flavor that modifies it. Then build every drill, every rep, every session around becoming the player you're meant to be.

8 Player Types. Your Unique Blend.

Discover your blend — the quiz identifies your primary and secondary types, then we combine them into a profile that's yours.

What Parents Are Saying

After just two lessons with Coach Anderson, even other parents on the team began commenting on the noticeable jump in Amy’s skill and confidence on the ice. What truly sets John apart is his unique approach, combining focused on-ice instruction with off-ice preparation, including detailed review of game clips. He works closely with each athlete on the specific parts of their game they want to improve, making every session highly personalized. It is clear that John genuinely cares about the whole athlete — not just performance, but confidence and well-being.

Pavel Novodvorskiy Hockey Parent

John’s coaching last season and training these last several weeks have changed her. Her confidence, her maturity, and her abilities have been recognized by so many others. John has made a huge difference in how she plays and how she shows up to life.

Hockey is more than games. Coaching is more than line changes and plays. It’s teaching leadership, skills, strategy, and building character.
