SUPER FOCUSED & DETAILED SHOOTING & STICK-HANDLING LESSONS LIVE WITH COACH KIM

THIS WEEK’S SESSION: IN TIGHT 1v1 MOVES & GETTING PUCKS UP HIGH and HARD QUICKLY

Friday June 19th, 10:00 to 11:00am EST LIVE on ZOOM (click here to register for Session #4)

I’m still at home just like you right now (with three kids 5 and under!) and I need my hockey fix just as much as you do! I’ve been teaching lessons over Zoom for the past 13 weeks – and have run over 100 sessions working with 500+ players from around the world. Since the end of March, most of my LIVE online sessions have been focused on speed, strength, shooting and stick-handling. While every player is getting stronger and faster, the most surprising feedback from players and parents is how much better their hands and shot have gotten given that we’re not on the ice!

That’s why I created…

… SUPER SKILLS SESSION FRIDAYS!

In these SUPER SKILLS SESSIONS, we work on shooting & stick-handling for the full hour.  We’ll focus on technique and repetition of simple skill sequences to build up to more complex shooting and stick-handling moves.

We’ll train together LIVE on Zoom from 10:00 to 11:00am on Friday. Don’t worry if your daughter can’t make it to the LIVE session – I will be recording the whole thing and sending out the video link to anyone that is registered.

The next one is this Friday June 19th from 10-11am and the cost is just $15.

This Friday, we’ll be focusing on IN TIGHT 1v1 MOVES and GETTING THE PUCK HIGH & HARD QUICKLY

Being able to dangle your opponent when you’re in tight against them is a critical skill for all players. It doesn’t matter if you’re a forward or a D, you have to be able to win those battles in order to keep possession under pressure.

Getting the puck up high & hard quickly is an essential skill for both forwards and Ds. Ds have to use this skill to flip the puck out of the zone to release pressure, to clear it off the glass and to dump it in deep without hitting any shinpads or bodies. Forwards use this high & hard skill mostly when in tight against the goalie. The ability to “roof it” up over the goalie quickly when below the hashmarks leads to a lot more goals scored. Players often struggle with this skill for two reasons: 1. they’ve never been taught how to do it properly and 2. it typically has to be executed under pressure which means that players have to do it without thinking too much. I’ll teach the skill from the basics of hand and stick position on both the forehand and backhand and we’ll get a ton of reps in so that it starts to be a more automatic skill. When a skill becomes automatic, it is a lot easier to execute under pressure.

This Friday, we’ll work on both the 1v1 dangles and the high & hard shots. We’ll talk specifically about how to use the skills if you’re a forward or a D. The skills are identical no matter what you’re position – you just apply them a little bit differently. I will teach everything step-by-step from the basic fundamentals all the way up to more complex patterns that incorporate both dangles and shooting combined together.

It will be a lot of FUN and HARD WORK – a great way to spend a Friday morning!
