Development here is intentional. Nathan works with a select group of players who are committed to growth and serious about their game.
Assessment
The assessment phase is a personalized starting point designed to set each player up for meaningful development and success. During the initial meeting, Nathan conducts a detailed review of the player’s game film alongside a one-on-one conversation to better understand the athlete’s goals, strengths, and areas for growth. This collaborative session allows Nathan and the player to identify key focus areas and begin building a clear, structured plan tailored to the player’s needs. By combining video analysis with intentional goal setting, the assessment establishes a strong foundation and direction for ongoing development within Gerbe Hockey Lab.
Development
The development phase is built around consistent, targeted video review sessions that help players elevate their game with purpose. Nathan works closely with each athlete to break down key aspects of their performance, using video to highlight strengths, identify growth areas, and reinforce habits that translate to game situations. A major focus of these sessions is helping players develop a clear identity and role within their unique skill set, allowing them to play with confidence and intention. The frequency of video review sessions is tailored to the package selected, ensuring each player receives the right level of support and progression throughout their development journey.
Beyond structured sessions, players also benefit from ongoing mentorship and direct access to Nathan. Athletes can reach out through phone calls or texting for guidance, feedback, or support in real time, whether it’s after a game, during the season, or when navigating challenges. This open line of communication helps build trust, reinforces accountability, and ensures players feel supported every step of the way as they continue to grow both on and off the ice.
