Daily Training Tip #41

Continue doing one-legged exercises in the gym. Players of all ages need to improve on their single leg strength.

Skating happens from a player's belt line down. A player needs to have good leg strength to be able to skate properly. Too many youth players lack enough leg strength to skate properly. Because of this, they learn to skate usinig bad habits. Once a bad habit forms, it is hard to break and learn to skate properly. Developing enough leg strength in the gym, directly relates to a players skating performance on the ice.
