Individual development plans for hockey coaches
Build clear, trackable IDP hockey plans for every player—without spreadsheets. PlayerUp keeps goals, feedback, and progress in one place alongside your sessions and communication.
An Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a living roadmap—3–5 priority goals, ongoing feedback, and visible progress across a season. In PlayerUp, IDPs connect directly to training plans, post-session notes, and player profiles so they actually get used.
Why choose IDPs for hockey development
IDP hockey brings structure to development: clear goals, regular feedback, and simple progress tracking—kept in one place so coaches and players stay aligned.

Clear accountability
Coach and player align on goals, checkpoints, and timelines that stick.
Visible progress
Ratings, notes, and clips track measurable improvement week to week.
Player buy-in
Athletes take ownership when their plan is transparent and easy to update.
