This video covers three essential tips to help players become more efficient skaters.
Coaching Points:
-
Upper Body Motion: Ensure that the upper body is moving in a forward motion. The arms should be pumping back and forth in a straight line to maximize momentum.
-
Knee Bend: Maintain a strong knee bend throughout the stride, which helps with stability and power generation.
-
Straight Line Strides: Focus on skating in straight lines with each stride to optimize efficiency and reduce wasted movement.
By applying these tips, skaters can improve their overall efficiency and forward skating technique.
