Tiivistelmä
In this thesis the reader will be given insight on what game sense really consists of. In the following pages, game sense is broken down to many different sub categories which all are examined more closely and explained in a simple manner.
The purpose for making this work is to help coaches to develop game sense in their players, but also for players to find tips to develop their game sense individually.
This thesis includes many of the most recognized game sense theories from acknowledged authors, but also many recent theories from professional ice hockey coaches and bloggers. In addition to just including information of game sense in sports, you can find basic and modern learning theories from educational field.
On top of the report on game sense, there is a small video library showing examples of many common game situations and the use of game sense. All of the video clips are built around the IIHF’s four game situation roles, which are 1.puck carrier, 2.offensive player without the puck, 3.defending against the puck carrier and 4.defending a player without the puck. By using short video clips in this work, the viewer finds most of the commonly occurring game situations quickly without watching countless hours of material trying to find a specific game situation.
In no manner this thesis is a full guide book on how to play ice hockey the right way. Instead this work will give the reader the knowledge on what exactly game sense is in ice hockey. Also it will show any coach how to implement game sense learning in everyday training and gives the basic information any growing player needs for learning game sense on their own outside team practices.
