Knee Bend, Knee Bend, Knee Bend... http://www.letsplayhockey.com/1049blatherwick.html Jack Blaterwick wrote a great article in this weeks' Let's Play Hockey. Take a look and read it for yourself!
A couple of key points...
-"How can you teach skating without dryland training?" Dryland training needs to be a part of your hockey routine. Head to the rink for practice, then head to the gym for dryland. In today's world, a lot of youth associations do have a structure dryland program, however, way too many kids work hard on the ice and then skip dryland. Practice and Dryland need to go hand in hand.
-"Strength Training should be thought of as Skating Practice!" We've been saying this for years, you become a better skater off of the ice!
-"Make this position your comfort zone by completing hundreds of repetitions!" It is impossible to keep your knees bent down to the proper position without proper leg strength. Proper leg strength comes with hard work off of the ice!
