This week's episode features Anders Lundberg, the Manager of Player Development for the Swedish Ice Hockey Association. Anders also serves as the head coach of the U18 Women's National Team in Sweden. This is the next installation in our series exploring top development countries around the world but one of our favorites as it is full of practical ideas that can be implemented by any coach around the sports world. Anders is confident that Sweden is the top development country in the world when it comes to hockey players because of their hockey culture, development focus and by creating an environment in which players feel safe to leave their comfort zone. We talk specifically with Anders about the connection that ice hockey has to society in Sweden, what makes them so consistent in player development, what kind of players and coaches they want to develop, the environment they want to create and how their recruitment and national team programs develop players. Anders shares some recommendations for resources that you can check out for some further reading. He recommends "Drive" by Daniel H. Pink, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey and "Transformational Leadership" by Bernard M. Bass.
