HOCKEY SHOT TIP OF THE MONTH
We like to think of Coach Jeremy's
Skills Series as building blocks to the
component of a great shot. There are
many components that go into a good
shot, so you need a good foundation of
building blocks so that you can practice all
your skills and take them to the ice.
The building block Jeremey is sharing
today will help with your shot. The best way
to do this is to isolate your upper body to
see how much power you have. How do you
remove your legs from a shooting drill you
might ask? Simple, you kneel!
You can practice your shot from kneel-
ing on either 1 or 2 knees, or sitting on
something, depending on your size. Using
only your upper body without relying on
weight transfer you can test your hockey
strength and pay attention to how you get
power in your shot.
This drill helps you improve how much
power you shoot with and challenges your
body to get a decent shot even when you
aren't lined up in the perfect situation. As
your skill improves so will your power.
