This video offers practical advice for players looking to enhance their shooting skills at home.
Coaching Points:
-
Set Up Correctly: When practicing shots, ensure the puck is positioned in your shooting box—close to your body with your hands in the proper position. Avoid starting with the puck off to the side, as this forces poor hand positioning and disrupts your shot technique.
-
One Puck at a Time: Rather than dragging pucks one after another from a pile, focus on isolating one puck at a time. Set up your shot, get your hands in a good position, and then shoot. This will reinforce proper shooting form.
-
Repetition with Proper Form: The key to improvement is practicing correctly. By using proper form and technique each time you take a shot, you’ll build muscle memory and significantly enhance your shooting skill.
By implementing these tips, players can optimize their practice routines and develop stronger, more accurate shots.
