How to Accelerate Fast for Hockey Players

Hockey players want to learn how to accelerate fast? Forget about swinging your arms harder or pushing with more force – this is about understanding the game of hockey and adjusting your movement strategy accordingly. If you've ever watched an NHL game or observed players around the rink, you've probably noticed that they rarely employ the traditional straight-line sprinting technique. Instead, they utilize a variety of transitional movements like gliding, corkscrews, cross-punch turns, and pivots. The classic, textbook sprint just doesn't happen. So, what's the secret to becoming a better accelerator on the ice? It's all about embracing these unique movements and incorporating them into your training. Our favorite technique for this purpose is the "crossunder" (some call it the crossover). Instead of relying on traditional strides, we encourage you to use crossovers to accelerate as soon as you touch the puck or need to gain open space. _______________ Sign up for our World Class Free Training to start learning about the Downhill Skating System here: https://train2point0.thinkific.com/courses/free-training Skip ahead and join the Train 2.0+ movement by becoming a member today: https://app.train2point0.com/bundles/membership-plus Don't forget to check out last week's video here: https://youtu.be/shbtiDp2o3Y Visit us on Home Ice at our website for more details about Train 2.0 and the Next Evolution of Hockey Training: https://www.train2point0.com/ Shoutout to our amazing video editor @TheDownhillSkater .
