If you believe that you have untapped potential as a player - that just needs the right coaching - then you're in the right spot.
I scientifically study the game of hockey. I use my University Education as a Kinesiologist, my research background, and my college playing experience to design the best coaching advice for players.
I provide the tools, technology, and platform to help you achieve your full potential faster.
this is fine, but I just do not understand why people do not hit as much in the NHL. In a couple the defender isn't even skating. The one example in here the guy just swings his stick and he is no where near him. Are these defenders that bad or are they just letting them keep the puck?
Great breakdown, could you do a full video on this topic, with multiple examples? It does have to be only 2 players, just a average nhl and a superstar
I feel like Brown really had three options here since he was a right shot and was holding the puck in the pocket. He could either do the "Bedard release low glove, fake the shot low glove and backhand upstairs, or fake the shot back hand forehand jam on the ice". I agree that Brown did not use enough deception in slowing down but I feel like the primary reason that he doesn't score is that he never changes the angle on the shot (like you mentioned) and also the fact that he shoots it right at the goalie's chest.
Yes but those options aren’t easy things to pull off and are in convenient on a breakaway. McDavid’s options are convenient and more easy to pull off on a breakaway or at any time.
I returned to hockey after a 25 maybe 30 year lay off, this meant going from a wooden Sherwood to a composite stick that flexed (probably the most impressive change other than fit flexable goalies). I watched videos on how to shoot with a composite stick, attended coaching sessions and this pushing down on the stick seemed to be a distraction. It didnt pass the sniff test, your video supported what I had been thinking. Same with the arm swing. I play in a non contact league and a lot of the younger players (thats most of them, fast little bastards) have never played in a contact league, heads up was good advice as a D is looking at a heads down player and thinking "good night". Being hit with your head down is a good incentive to keep your eyes on stalks and know where the the hit might come from and who to hot potatoe the pass to.
I think the key is to automatically do crossovers without having to think about doing them. I'm trying to get myself to that stage, but it's definitely a work in progress. Keep the great content coming 7:00
Yes I will make a note to do that. Precise puck control and dangle by design are together now with stickhandling mechanics as we have been expanding the content for members 👍
It would be good if you could break down the movement into parts, as a progression. NHLers are great but to learn the skill, I think it needs to be simplified. Where is the weight rear or front skate, where in the skate-heel or toe? How do you ensure a wider stance?
Totally different situations & isn’t fair to compare them. Myers hesitates stepping up defending the rush as the puck was quite a distance from McDavid for a second or two. Myers goes on his toes, loses his glide/positioning…that’s what allows McDavid to go around him
@@Train2point0 Neither - Myers thought for a second he could grab that puck after Hyman (?) tapped it back to McDavid. If it was McDavid hauling the puck from end to end (without the pass to Hyman), then I'd agree with you that it was because of his crossovers. However, the tap from Hyman threw off the Myers, which then allowed McDavid to walk around him
Hi. In a previous video you said I should attempt to load the “inner spring” that is my fascial lines around my obliques for free speed. What movements should I do before each stride to load the inner spring? Thanks!
What are your thoughts on how to tie your skates for better ankle mobility? I've notice a lot of NHL players don't tie their skates through the top eyelet and I've read that a lot of them, especially European players prefer their skates pretty loose and will occasionally skate without laces. Do you feel that doing laceless training or loose skate training, not tie your skate through the top 3-5 eyelets, is beneficial? If so at what age is it appropriate to start and how often and for how long? My power skating coach as a kid, Bantams/High School, would have us skate for like 10 mins before sessions without tying our skates to build ankle strength and told us not to tie the top eyelet for better ankle mobility. I guess this was something the Russians did or do, this was 20+ years ago. I've recently seen some discussions on this and read a lot of mixed reviews about this but I personally feel that it absolutely increased my ankle strength and because of that I prefer my skates looser. I use wax laces and tie the bottom fairly tight but leave the top rather loose and skip the top eyelet. Thanks for your thoughts and great videos!
More than one way to do it. All the best do it different but something that gives you enough mobility to turn your ankles over and get good Y-Angle while still feeling comfortable, stable and balanced.
