What you'll do
I will give you an introduction into my hockey career and we'll discuss my journey to the Olympic Games and ambitions moving forward. We'll talk about my current training program and how my preparation under lockdown is going towards gaining selection for next summer's Olympic Games in Tokyo. We'll then perform some skills and drills, which can be tailored to all ages, abilities, and training needs. Luckily this won't require too much movement and it can be done indoors or outdoors in your yard or garden. We'll finish with a Q and A session to give you the chance to ask me any questions you may have, from the Olympics to my fitness regime, eating habits, and what I do aside from playing hockey. I'm excited to meet you all and can't wait to enjoy this experience with you.

My 12 year old son attended a zoom skills and drills with David and he throughly enjoyed it. David was friendly and engaging. My son enjoyed the drills and learnt some new skills. My son also enjoyed listening to David’s hockey journey and experiences.
I would definitely recommend these sessions and my son is looking forward to joining the next one.
Thanks David ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

David is a wonderful and unique host. He is Olympic hockey player and worked with us on hockey skills & Q/A. My child attended the section to learn about field hockey. David is super patient to teach us on basic skills of field hockey.
David also shared with us his personal story and experiences during pandemic. What inspires us is the athlete passion David demonstrated in the experience. His spirit of keeping hungry for better is unique. We'd like to connect David again and watch him play in Olympics. Definitely the experience has expanded our knowledge on a new sport and inspired my child for being a great athlete.

David’s athletic and coaching experience was such a breath of fresh air with a sport I wasn’t so familiar with. I learned some stick handling techniques from an Olympian and liked being challenged to practice the drills he demonstrated clearly on screen, which made it very easy to follow. Beyond that, David is super friendly, humble, and shared his story of his Olympic pursuits in an inspiring and down to earth way. His responses to everyone’s questions were very thoughtful and insightful. Would recommend to anyone who plays field hockey, hockey, or just to try your hands at a new skill with a devoted Olympian!
