HOCKEY SHOT TIP OF THE MONTH
Jeremy Rupke knows
improved accuracy does not
necessarily mean focusing
on the exact distance you're
targeting to improve. Instead,
research in sports science
suggests shooting closer and
further away from the actual
target is more impactful than
shooting at the direct target
location repeatedly.
For example, if you're target
distance is 10 feet, try shoot-
ing from 5 and 15 feet away,
to force your brain to adapt
to the varying distances
instead of just one "perfect"
spot (i.e. the slot). In a sport
as fast as hockey, you're
chances of getting constant
slot opportunities will dissi-
pate with age and skill level.
That's why it is essential to
train your brain and adapt to
real game-time situations.
Coach Rupke has used the
above dimensions to practice
his accuracy. He suggests
using roughly 5-9 pucks in
each location and fires them
at various locations, using
various shot types, not just one.
A shooter should never resort
to only one go-to. Challenge
yourself in practice & add more
goals to the stat sheet!
