Your always saying you teach kids. “I tell the kids this and tell the kids that”. Dude your content is useful for ANYONE at ANY age. Absolutely love the vids. Keep it up. (20yrs old trying to make myself a better hockey player)
Sean, Your lessons are all so clearly presented. It would be hard for me to play for you because you expect 110% all the time, both from your players and yourself. Some days I can only generate 105%, but on those days I visualize you! Thanks so much!!
Kids today have no clue how good they have it with yt tutorials, equipment and more access to ice time....we fought for ice time at midnight, back on 70s rinks were scarce
I have heard some speak about the toe snap at the end of the stride and if done correctly helps reaching top speed quickly, can you add some dialog about that, or is that incorrect info?
I turned on English subtitles, I found an instant translation into Russian on the camera on my phone. So at least the general meaning is clear. Thanks for your videos
I think players need to understand the base and forward toes external rotation to grab and explode off inside edges and not land flat skate...then go into the lateral game component.
I have always been skeptical of this trend toward the forward-facing V starts... spent some time practicing it myself, and it's just nowhere near as explosive and efficient as the cross-over start.
There will always be a time where the V start is needed. Both starts should be utilized. V start is great when you are stationary and squared up on the puck; ie. PK. Another factor, especially for practice, is to work on opening up the hips.
2:36 Not 100% agreeing with always teaching the cross over start. You have to pivot your body sideways to begin your forward strides, which is less efficient. The V start, in my opinion, is more efficient, since you are facing the direction you're exploding towards. V start only requires a small front foot pivot.
I love watching videos like this but they make me feel like an idiot. I’m 50 years old and started a program to learn ice hockey. I don’t know how to skate so I’m learning how to skate at the same time. I can only skate forward, make slow turns, and snowplow stop. I have an intense fear of falling down while trying anything remotely looking like a crossover. And I don’t dare try edge work. I don’t know why I’m so scared. Is this feeling common for new skaters? All the guys in my program have gone through it multiple times so they can skate and play. When I play I just skate around because I’m not fast enough to get to the puck. It’s extremely frustrating to learn. I watch these videos to inspire me so hopefully I get to this point one day.
Keep with it Joseph. The more you skate the more confident you will become and that fear should melt away. Don't hesitate to start doing that edge work - you should be able to start doing it at low speeds to get a feel for inside vs outside edges. You can trust your edges! Once you have that down you can start to work on crossovers. It's so exhilarating when you nail that first crossover turn. Just keep skating regularly and your skills and confidence will grow.
Growing up being entertained by the game of the 1970's and early 80's, teachings like this may teach efficiency and speed, but it is boring. I see no differences between any teams styles than any other teams styles. Every NHL'er skates the same. Boring.

i'm 54 and watching and learning. i'm not quite so explosive anymore though!
you're still a kid Dawg
@@DougieFresh13 well I’m not exactly 8 or 12 like the kids he’s teaching here 🤣 but I get your point
37 and just starting to play. These videos have helped out tremendously!
@@dismemberedlamb9104You're a young adult sir and a good one at that.
I never get tired of the sound of sharp skates cutting the ice. Right up there with cracking a beer 🍺 👌 😂😂
Sean,

Thanks so much!!
Sean Walker is the best TH-cam hockey coach ever! Thank you!
This is great advice iTrain Hockey! I have a channel about speedskating, but you have it down, no glide, presuure, and movement forward! Very cool!
Great instruction on power and speed, this technique is so good for increasing your stamina too!
And quick early recovery - the pushes are connected like a pulley then you involve your core!
This was s fun video I learned a lot I have hockey practice today imma try out new thing!!
This was brilliant. Thanks Sean, I'll definitely drill this.
Your content is ALWAYS EPIC! THANK YOU SIR.
I went to one of your camps in the summer it was in Chicago it made me very sore definitely made me a better player!!!
Your video is Soo helpful sir
Great video! Why people would dislike this video is a mystery to me
Dang! Where was TH-cam when I started playing hockey in the late 80's!? Ha! I coulda' been somebody!
Kids today have no clue how good they have it with yt tutorials, equipment and more access to ice time....we fought for ice time at midnight, back on 70s rinks were scarce
You are somebody!!!!

Yea that’s right but most coaches dont teach that
Excellent Video! Really good info! and a lot of leg muscle to grow after watching this😄
Thanks for sharing very useful detailed instructions congratulations 🙏
This is spot on
I was horrible at hockey because I have the kind of feet that makes skating very difficult. Loved it anyway, Your vids are the best
Thank you this video was very helpful.

Покупай его программу, там этих видосов выше крыши
Excellent video Sean, Thanks!

Amazing great analysis. Thank you Sean.

I always used to find that at my peak speed I was literally on my toes only, almost floating over the ice. It was a tip toe glide at high speed.
So keep up the intensity of the stride, but lengthen it out later on is what he is saying.
cover sharpening and profile aka feels
Добрые время суток, скажи пожалуйста сколько градусов на улице?
Once I fainted doing the strides, absolutely unconscious hitting the ice hard.
Almost looks like Woodhaven in Wpg.
hello this really helped me hehhehhehhehehehhehhe

THIS IS A PLAYER WAITING FOR A BUS 😭😭
Yeah that incorrect stuff really shows the problem!
Stride
If you want skating faster, move your legs faster )
хотя бы русские субтитры:(
The best to never make it lol
He's losing power with his stride.
How come?
He's not using his thigh muscles more or as they call it short striding@@alexanderkay6400
