@J_Swish24 Like the Great Troy G Ward would emphasize, gotta worry about being able to manipulate the PKs toe caps and sticks first. If you don’t, it won’t matter who is setting up for the one timer.
@briangillam66 That is a tough sentence to hear without the context of the rest of the podcast. Not sure someone could be so convinced that you “need” apparatus. If you can not use bodies to duplicate your drill, should you even be doing the drill?
@JhanHky Great stuff. Short sample on the clip, but it may be beneficial to use the same tools for timing and starting point of his hands/feet. Feet behind the wood, puck and hands in front of the wood. Begin with just hands, build into a step over on release.
I was just told that there are 16
( yes 16 !!!! ) @AAABlues players from 14-16year olds that are leaving STL to play elsewhere next season …
Not to move on to juniors …
To play at the exact same level
Sad to hear for St. Louis hockey
Hope we get this figured out
@billmccoshen The word “development” has been misconstrued so much in youth sport. It is unfortunate that there is not a broader understanding of long term athletic development for the families and the kids. Most claiming development are merely providing an experience, not development.
@CoachRevak@briangillam66@malls29 Use a variety of heavy pucks or even balls to add emphasis on not leaving the blade open. Utilize one of the NZ lines, feet behind the line hands extended slightly over the line and blade on the line. Work on catching hard passes and keeping the puck settled on the line.
@CoachRevak Love the observation. I do agree, unless it is one of the first few sessions with the players. I find it much easier to establish movement details in the stop start fashion of the lines. Once communication is established then the free flow of the oval is more effective.
