Excellent BKL Coaching Blog
This blog is written by an important coach in the Canadian development pipeline. He works most closely with young athletes (BK through early junior). All of his old posts are worth reading and he raises some excellent quetsions and provides useful insight for coaches — especially our MNC coaches working with BK athletes.
