"Darryl knows my game now. He knows what''s going to work and what''s not going to work. It''s about fine-tuning it and always trying to improve.... It''s an ongoing conversation about how to get better and how to pick up a little thing here or there to give yourself an advantage." —Patrick Kane, from his foreword

An unmissable look at how even hockey''s best find ways to get even better.

Darryl Belfry is regarded as hockey''s premier development coach, with clients including Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane, John Tavares, and Auston Matthews. But his highly sought-after training methods aren''t only for elite NHL stars; they have helped players of all levels uncover new pathways to performance excellence.

Packed with fascinating stories and valuable insight, Belfry Hockey: Strategies to Teach the World''s Best Athletes details this powerful curriculum, developed over years of persistent research. It''s a system that emphasizes discovering authentic identity, pinpointing translatable skill, building a personal performance matrix, and more.

Not only will players learn hundreds of techniques to improve their game, but teachers—inside and outside of hockey coaching—will gain an arsenal of groundbreaking strategies to connect with their students.
