Generating more power by emphasizing the “push-under” phase of crossovers is one of the most overlooked opportunities for hockey players to add speed. Here are 4 strategies to help: 1️⃣ Add end-range “push-under” strength through isometrics (pushing into the ground as hard as possible while keeping the hips and shoulders square to the wall). 2️⃣ Integrate horizontal push-under strength - heavy lateral sled drags are a great option. 3️⃣ Add speed/power to push-under patterns - crossover runs are a simple “jump” variation to accomplish this. 4️⃣ Get on the ice and work on pushing all the way under through crossovers. A lot of players transition to their next stride too early and fail to complete a full push-under stride. Players can develop the control, strength and power off the ice, but ultimately need to practice integrating this into their stride to have it “stick” on the ice.

⁉️ How do I get faster on the ice? Here are some tips I’ve found on how to increase your speed on the ice!! Remember, hockey isn’t only about what you do on the ice, the off ice is just as important. Look at the NHL players in the offseason, all they do is off-ice training, sprints, ladders, quick feet drills, resistance training. ✅ With the off season coming up, this is the time to dial into these things!! #proguidancehockey #nexlevelhockey #hockeytraining #hockeytips #hockey #abbotsfordminorhockey #powerskating #gym

Taking a look at the culture shift behind the phenomenally successful Limerick Senior Hurling Team. "Central to the change, was doing things right in every respect. It wasn’t just about the sport science, it was as much about how you carried yourself as a Limerick hurler and what you represented. In the same Irish Examiner article (https://lnkd.in/eZ2-ZRC5) Fitzgibbon relates a story where he is taking an underage Limerick squad for a Saturday morning session on one of the astroturf pitches in UL when he sees two players — who would both go on to be 2018 All-Ireland senior winners — standing at the side of the pitch, urinating. “What does he do? What would you do? Ignore it and pass it off as something harmless and something they’ve probably seen or even done before back at their clubs? Not when you’ve talked about and emphasised the importance of culture. There’s more to it than sweeping the sheds. It’s literally not taking the piss. Not any more. He recounts that “I called all the lads in and said to the two boys, ‘Lads, would you stand up and piss in your sitting room?’ Of course the boys were all sheepish. ‘No.’ “So I said, ‘Well, why would you come into this facility and disrespect it?’ Now apologise to the group.’ So they did. And then I said, ‘Okay. Now tog back in. You’re not training today.’ “Then I said to the rest of the lads, ‘This has to be a lesson to you. This is Limerick hurling. In Limerick hurling, everything we do is about respect. We respect the facilities, we respect our teammates, we respect everything to do with Limerick hurling. The minute you get that jersey, you are elevated to another level, so we must behave accordingly. At a higher level’.” #performance #culture #psychology #success #leadership #GAA https://lnkd.in/ejXnaVwi Read more on link attached
