Trusted by players and parents who want a clear plan over random drills.

Most private training fails for one simple reason

​In Canada, private training often becomes a pile of “good sessions” that do not connect to a real plan. Players work hard, parents pay a lot, coaches run reps, and everyone hopes it translates on game day.
​
The Missing Piece shows you the actual link between training and real development, so every session has a purpose and progress is easy to see.

This book gives you a repeatable system

  • How to set a “training target” that matches the player’s stage
  • How to structure sessions so skills transfer into games
  • What to train weekly, monthly, and seasonally
  • How to build consistency without burnout
  • How to spot bad training fast, and fix the plan
A simple graphic image: “Framework overview” (your pillars, stages, or session structure). Even a clean text graphic works.

Who this book is for

For
  • Parents who want clarity and confidence in their training choices
  • Players who want a plan and real progress, not vibes
  • Coaches who want structure, better results, and better retention
Not for
  • Anyone looking for a “one drill fixes everything” shortcut
  • People who do not want to track or reflect at all

Written by a coach who lives this


I am Zak Drake, a Canadian coach and private trainer focused on building players through a clear system, not random sessions. I wrote The Missing Piece because I kept seeing the same thing: talented players working hard, supportive parents investing, and progress still feeling unclear.

This book is the system I wish every family had from day one.
