Get Full Access

Welcome to Day 1 of 5 Days to a More Accurate Shot!

Today's video emphasizes the importance of keeping your head up while shooting, using your vision to identify targets, and following through accurately to improve shooting accuracy.

Coaching Points:

  1. Head Up for Awareness: Always keep your head up to locate your target using direct or peripheral vision, even while stickhandling before the shot.
  2. Aim for Quadrants: Focus on broader areas (e.g., top left quadrant) rather than pinpoint corners to build consistency in accuracy.
  3. Game-Like Toe Positioning: Align your toes toward the net while practicing to simulate realistic shooting scenarios.
  4. Controlled Puck Placement: Keep the puck in a position close to your body for better control and precision during the shot.
  5. Focus on Quality Over Quantity: Prioritize high-quality, deliberate shots over the number of pucks you shoot in practice.
  6. Look and Follow Through: Visualize your target, align your body, and follow through toward the desired area to enhance shot accuracy.
