Hockey Skill Development & Creating Athletic Movers

Building the player and building the athlete… there is a lot that goes into it. Development of movement: Getting them to become more efficient (smoother) movers, escapable and deceptive while hitting each beat and exiting the movement with equal strength and quality. A player with range that’s athletic and loose, smooth and skilled is one area we strive for. A player that can create speed differentials and change directions in the blink of an eye is yet another example. A player that can hit a single leg slide, spin, stop and snap to another direction without missing a beat and the ability to remain an available option by coming out of that movement and being able to contribute to positive possession time when called upon again. While always including the development of the mind. Challenging the mind: working on the ability to be deceptive by providing misinformation also has to be developed and applied in game like situations during training. Challenging creativity so we have the ability to apply a movement for any given situation with confidence …. confidently choosing from a variety of tools we’ve developed so we can apply when called on during the pressure of a game.

Factors that make us Unique

a. the amount of reps you will receive (with small groups you have the opportunity to maximize your reps - your positive reps). 
b. the details within the reps matter. What are the performance indicators in each exercise (there is always a performance indicator).
c. the level of challenge… the bar is set high … advanced game like skills.
d. the feedback you receive during the sessions, during the rep. 
e. multiple concepts within every exercise (not around the cone shoot and definitely not just scrimmage). 
f. this is mindful training as the game of hockey has rhythms within it.
g. All of our exercises have athletic movements (agility, balance and coordination) and take high IQ to execute (feet and hands work independently).
h. The challenge is high. Requires the Mind to be free in order to incorporate advanced footwork, puck control and deceptions. 
i. the knowledge we have - mentors to learn from, conferences attended, years of study, open-minded, pursuit of excellence.
