What is Tension Free Hockey??
Playing "Tension Free" is the ultimate catalyst to high performance and overall enjoyment of the game. If you want to play better and have more fun on the ice, then you have to play more Tension Free! The simple fact is the best players, play more relaxed and free than the rest!
🔗 Join me on Team Tension Free ➡️ tensionfreehockey.com/
One aspect of playing more Tension Free is improving your mechanics and technique. Becoming more efficient in your movements and eliminating all unnecessary tension in your body.
But the other part is mental. You can have all the skill in the world, but if you don't have the confidence to act on it or if you over think, stressed or anxious you will never be able to apply those skills.
Although they may seem like two separate components, they are not. The body and mind work as one. If you're holding a lot of tension in your body that will lead to a stress minded and vice versa.
On my channel I focus on the former, to help you improve your mechanics to play more relaxed and free, but don't neglect your mental performance too!
My mission with Tension Free Hockey is to promote and encourage all the elements that go into playing better and having more fun, because that's what playing Tension Free does.
That includes, being creative, practicing hard, being confident, playing relaxed, being positive, playing in flow etc

The BEST players are BENDERS!! (You should be too)
มุมมอง 4.7K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
One of the biggest differentiators between ELITE skaters and everyone else is their ability to use their ankles… Specifically, their ability to bend their ankles! As it stands being “an ankle bender” has a negative connotation in hockey. However, being able to bend your ankles is a key factor in becoming an elite skater. The best players leverage and use their ability to bend their ankles as an...

    Thank you for this video. I grew up learning how to skate in the early 90s and I would say during that time period the term "crossover" is more aligned because that's what was being taught especially when practicing skating around the circles. You would pick your leg up and over exaggerate the cross-over of the leg. Now, when I skate circles during warm-ups, I feel how I now perform more of a cross under motion and would agree with that terminology. I've been watching videos for hours trying to see the difference, and I don't. McDavid is just super super strong on his outside edges, and I feel that is what truly sets him apart. Who sharpens his skates deserves a raise.

    No offense, but I believe you are confused between various different things. Lean does not make you go fast, rather lean is required to go fast around a curve, simply leaning won't do anything - this is why you will fall if you simply lean - skater has to actively turn to not fall when leaning or keep crossing over. A skater will need to generate centripetal force to go in a curved path, that force does not come from the lean, it actually is generated by legs doing to crossover as skater keeps stepping inward ( and they actually will go tangentially if they stop doing crossover or if they stop actively trying to turn with the ankles ). The reason lean is needed is so that centrifugal force won't topple over the skater. The net torque in the frame of reference of the skater should be 0. assuming the lean to be theta with the vertical ( so 0 degree means 0 lean ) mv^2/r cos ( theta ) = mg sin ( theta ) tan ( theta ) = v^2/2rg so the faster you go the more you need to lean otherwise you will be thrown out of the circle ( which will icrease r and reduce the theta ) or you will simply topple over. The net force must also be balanced ( assuming 0 acceleration ), this is very complicated equation and simply saying centrifugal force = friction force would be incorrect as edges dig into the ice, and there are other force involved.

  • @Cmaxb9
    @Cmaxb9 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is a wonderful break down of a video. It’s definitely a good way to look at things, your weight is absolutely on the leg that’s crossing “under” and the lighter leg is just put into place in order to get the inside leg to where it needs to be. This makes sense as you are leading into the centerline and letting the body lead to where your weight and legs need to be. Lots of lateral strength work, Thanks 🤙🏼

  • @alexyelizarov4307
    @alexyelizarov4307 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Something I noticed in the clips of McDavid's shuffle is that he starts by putting his outside leg behind his inside leg before pushing out, which seems to help him extend the push. Kind of looks like a cross under in reverse if that makes sense.

    I’m self taught skater and taught for 20+ years. 1. The hockey boot fit is critical, must match the shape of your foot. Narrow, Reg, Wide. Ideally less than 1 pencil gap in the heel. 2. Posture - Athletic stance to create proper Hip sit, knee bend and shin angle. 3. In this short video it’s hard to convey all the necessary concepts - but one important fact is ur ankles will need to Lock when stopping- I like to call it a controlled drift slide blade angle 88 degrees - centers over the ball of the foot. That is the reason for a snug fitting boot. U have to control the blade attached to your foot. In this video for other situations you will need ankle flexibility - like the freestyle ice skating- you need ankle and hip flexibility to do certain tricks
