‘Parallel Hips Thru Push - T-Push’ Instruction Video
VIDEO OVERVIEW
Skill Chunk: Hips On A Parallel Plane To The Ice
Core Element: Stable Core Control
Technical Skill: T-Push
This instruction video will zoom in on the ‘skill chunk’ of a technical ‘Core Element’ and analyze the Body Alignment and Muscular Engagement needed when setting up and executing the ‘whole’ Technical Skill.
PRE CLINIC LEARNING PREP
Challenge yourself to mentally download the information by watching the video several times with the intention of understanding the activation and configuration lines needed to correctly execute the skill.
This understanding of the skill will better allow you to be guided by the instructors and correct yourself with a ‘deep thinking’ awareness during training clinics, team practices and in-game performance.
FOUNDATIONAL SKATING
**SKATING DRILLS** (Video Required To Replace)
Watch the video several times with the intention of understanding the foundational skating drill patterns so you are better prepared for when you practice it on the ice.
Estimated At Clinic Practice: 5 – 10 minutes
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT
Power Leg Separation For Active Sliding Base
TECHNICAL SKILL
Power Slide
CORE ELEMENT
Active Power Slide Base
PRACTICE OBJECTIVE
At Home:
To better understand the progressions, It is highly recommended that you set yourself up in a quiet place to watch the video several times.
Then, without distractions, close your eyes and mentally visualize yourself executing the progressions as shown in the video.
By visualizing each progression and the final collaborated sequence, you can prepare yourself to physically execute the movement patterns with confidence and bring more mental awareness when it comes time to practice the skill.
Estimated At Home Practice: 23 – 30 minutes
At Clinic:
In a group format, you will be guided thru each skill piece progression and finishing off the Functional Movement drill with the ‘whole’ technical skill.
Being prepared with a good mental picture of the movement patterns will allow you to maximize the benefits of the physical practice.
Estimated At Clinic Practice: 5 – 10 minutes
