This video focuses on improving wrist shot technique using roller blades to replicate in-game movement, emphasizing proper hand positioning, puck control, and follow-through.
Coaching Points:
-
Hand Positioning: Keep hands away from the body, with the puck positioned on the heel of the blade and the top hand controlling the stick.
-
Movement Dynamics: Incorporate roller blades to simulate on-ice conditions, maintaining smooth transitions and directional control towards the net.
-
Follow-Through: Drive shoulders and toes toward the net during the shot, ensuring a full follow-through for maximum power and accuracy.
-
Start Simple: Begin with stationary puck pushes to refine technique before adding puck handling and movement.
-
Add Variety: Include puck transitions (e.g., backhand to forehand) and creative setups to simulate dynamic game scenarios.
-
Target Precision: Progress to aiming at specific areas of the net, focusing on controlled and accurate wrist shots.
Practising wrist shots with rollerblades improves both shooting mechanics and overall game readiness.
