Teaching Proper Skating Technique
Proper skating technique is crucial for player development and is
often improperly taught or overlooked, especially at the younger age
levels when players are developing their muscle memory.
Many coaches
struggle with teaching proper technique and how to identify and fix
skating issues their players may be facing.
Dwayne Blais and the team at NSDA
tackled this issue head on and developed the most comprehensive skating
videos we have seen.
In a new partnership with IHS, NSDA has kindly
shared 20 skating videos that break down and deconstruct the proper
skating techniques for hockey players. VIEW THE SKATING VIDEOS HERE
The videos are laid out in a progression from basic to advanced and
each one has important teaching points for coaches to focus on.
The
Quick Fix videos are incredible for helping coaches/parents identify
skating issues and how to address them with their players.
For anyone new to NSDA, they are a must follow on Youtube, with over
100 detailed skills videos covering every area of the game (not just
skating). Their skills videos are second to none as they break down each
skill with precision and leave you with important teaching points.
