This really works! I benefitted from practising on the rubber mats first because, yes, my brain was telling me this would hurt my ankle. But it is, in fact, very liberating and gave me more flow on the ice. Game changer, bravo. Thank you!
You’re awesome man. This video was next level. Showed my dad the video too, to show off you talented TH-cam teachers You and Jason and coach Jeremy and I train hockey. You’re the homies!
I appreciate that!! That’s a great group of hockey content creators to be apart of, so thank you. I put a lot of effort into each video, I’m glad you enjoy!
Man I'm so glad you are working with Shawn Yee. I'm on the same program and your videos are a great companion to the massive library of DSS at Train 2.0..
bending ankles when turning is a must for me. But bending them when running straight, maybe for some relatively slow moves its fine, but if you'd like to skate fast and hard you need a good energy transfer from the push, so I'd be holding my ankles straight and stiff to be more efficient.
Interesting that you feel faster when stiffening your ankles. As, holding your ankles straight and stiff will not make you faster or more efficient. It will slow you down. In terms of energy transfer, if you are referring to muscle elasticity and bounce, the ankle collapsing in will create that stretch and rebound that your looking for. If you stay relaxed. A tense muscle does not transfer energy. "The more relaxed the muscles are the more energy can flow through them ..." Bruce Lee. Check out my how to skate like Mack video on more on the forward stride.
I agree it is a lot easier to move with loose ankles. My only question is will it make me more easier to get knocked over by someone bodychecking me? For crossover starts, will it have a chance to slip out when you are to "push" off the outside edge? And if you were to have a big ankle crack with heel pressure, are you able to hold it for a few seconds? My skill coach always makes me do edgework on the beginning of every session, I don't think edgework is necessary but he is a huge believer so I have to do it. I just don't want to be lectured to keep my ankles stiff, that's all.
1. Id say you are less likely to get knocked over as you have more grip in the ice, which gives you stability. 2. Crossover starts, may be a situation where you wouldn’t be as collapsed, play around with it and see! 3. Yes you should be able to hold a collapsed ankle with heel pressure. 4. That's a tough situation as you don't want to be disrespectful and be deemed "uncoachable". Listen to your coach and maybe have a chat in private with them if you feel you need to. I can't really give you much advise there.
I experienced a true collapsed ankle when added the cross under in the base infinity curve. Man I thought it would begin to hurt but you can hold that outside edge so good. Doing the cross under going fast around the net has been the most stable I have ever felt. Quick turns around the center ice dots to cross under to then take a pass followed by another cross under at the next dot has been on point like never before. I look forward when I can add more cross unders in combo corkscrews to toe drags etc.
This is mind blowing and amazing, I've recently started skating with very loose laces. And now I've come across this video 🤯 Regarding heel pressure, are flexing your toes upwards for this?
I just figured this out. Don’t articulate the foot it will articulate itself just apply pressure directly to the ice. Don’t even use the foot lol forget you have feet
It depends, so players can bend and articulate their ankles even with tight skates but typically it’s more difficult. I recommend tying them at a comfortable level and removing the top eyelet. But test what feels right

Thanks for watching! ⬇Let me know your thoughts below.... Do you struggle with stiff ankles?

Great video! Thanks for sharing in an easy to understand, yet detailed style. Keep 'em coming!

In the UK, being a “bender” means something entirely different! 😂.
Great video, I’ll definitely give this a go. 👍🏻
Hahaha, thanks Shaun. Let me know how it goes!

@@BWT599 That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Might finally get better at 10-2s with this. Thanks
Ankle collapse on the 10&2 is game changing. Try holding yourself on the boards and letting your ankles go to feel what it’s like!
I just figured this out. Don’t articulate the foot it will articulate itself just apply pressure directly to the ice. Don’t even use the foot lol forget you have feet
Are the skates laced up tight ???

Amazing🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Mason!
Thats part of my problem, I think I have very stiff ankles.
That could very well be. Stiff ankles will hold you back!
