Player Development

Your player's own development system, built by BTP: a monthly check-in that finds the three things holding them back, a weekly plan to fix them, the BTP skills handbook, and BTP Coach, an AI coach trained on exactly how we teach, that knows your player.

How it works

Most families know something is off. Few know exactly what, or what to do about it this week. This closes that gap.

1. Two-minute check-in

Once a month, parent and player rate skating, shooting, hands, game sense, confidence and energy. Wording changes with the player's level.

2. Three priorities

The tool turns the check-in into your player's three biggest opportunities, with the why, and tracks a growth-spurt estimate so the plan follows the body, not the birthday.

3. A plan for this week

Drills for home and ice, one habit to build, and the roadmap for where they are. Updated every check-in. Coaches add focus points straight into it.

Meet BTP Coach

Type what you're seeing, in your own words. BTP Coach answers in seconds, in BTP's language, from BTP's handbook, and it knows your player: their level, their last check-in, their coach's notes.

"She turns wide going to her left and avoids crossovers that direction. What should we work on this week?"A parent's question
"This is almost always an edge issue, not a strength issue. Turning left means her inside leg has to pull under on its outside edge. If that edge feels shaky she'll swing wide instead… One thing to do this week: circle crossovers to the left, starting slow, weak side first, double the reps that direction. Before adding speed, outside-edge holds on the left foot alone."BTP Coach, with links to the two handbook pages it used

Every answer is reviewed by BTP coaches. When we correct one, the whole system learns it. Want a human look? One tap sends the conversation to a real BTP coach, who answers in the app and adds focus points to your plan.

The BTP handbook

Twenty skills, researched against USA Hockey, Hockey Canada and the sports-science literature, then written the way we coach them. Each one: the signs it's a problem, why it matters, what the coach says, four levels from Foundation to Elite, drills for home and ice, common mistakes, and the deep dive.

SkatingPosture, knee bend & ankle flexion · Edge control · Stride & first three strides · Crossovers, stops & pivots · Backward & C-cuts
Puck skillsStickhandling with split vision · Puck protection · Passing & receiving
ShootingShot mechanics & loading · Quick release & traffic · Scoring areas & finishing
GameThe OODA loop & decision speed · Offensive support · Defensive play & compete
BodySpeed, power & strength · Growth & maturation · Recovery, sleep & nutrition
MindInternal locus of control & leadership · Focus & flow · Confidence & mistake recovery

Plus how BTP thinks (the OODA loop, internal locus of control, the task-positive network, the 3:1 environment) and how BTP plays, position by position.

Why those skills? 76% of goals are scored on shots the goalie can't see cleanly, half come from the inner slot, and carrying the puck over the blue line doubles the shots per entry. See the data behind how we train →

Questions

Is BTP Coach a real coach?

It's an AI coach we built and trained on BTP's handbook, playbook and coaching language, and it reads your player's profile before it answers. BTP coaches review its answers and correct them, so it keeps getting more "BTP." For a human answer, tap "Send this to a real coach" and one of us replies in the app.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Open the Member Portal in Safari or Chrome, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. It runs full-screen like an app.

My player is advanced for their age. Does it still fit?

Yes. Every skill is written in four levels, Foundation to Elite, judged by what the player can do, not their birth year.

Do we need to be in a BTP program?

No. Any family with a portal account can use the free version, and any family can join. It's built for players 8U through 9th grade.

Does one membership cover siblings?

Yes. Buy it for any one athlete on your family account and every athlete on the account is unlocked for the season.
