Practice 1
A short practice that involves fundamental stick work and teamwork. Tierney runs his squad through some great offensive and defensive drills followed by a weight session and cardiovascular workout. You will also see pre-practice routines that involve assistant coaches working on face-offs and goalie work.

Practice 2
This practice simulates game like situations with the next opponent in mind. This is a hard core practice that will test even your best athletes. Tierney works with his players on ground balls, stick handling, one-on-one work and offensive and defensive game plans for the upcoming game.

Practice 3
Sit in on a comprehensive, pre-practice coaches meeting as Tierney and his staff work on a practice plan to prepare the Pioneers for their upcoming game. On the field, you will see half field drills to develop passing and stick handling for offensive and defensive players. Pick up half field and full field scrimmage ideas to help prepare for your next opponent.

This video will give you insight into one of those most respected NCAA programs in the nation and how they prepare for opponents.

All Access videos are designed to allow viewers from all over the world to see how successful coaches run their practices in a "live" practice setting. All Access videos allow viewers to see the practices un-edited and in real-time. You will see how top coaches run their drills, interact with their team and staff, how they motivate their team, the cue words they use, the atmosphere of the practice and how practices are structured from day to day. Many coaches visit successful colleges and high schools to watch practice. But if you live out of state or out of the country, visiting another coach's practice can be costly. That's why we created the All Access Practice Series of videos -- to bring the practices to you!
