Single-leg balance is the most fundamental component of developing game-breaking speed.
There are 3 keys to mastering basic single-leg balance:
• Hips Back
• Knee Bent
• Chest Up
Not only is single-leg balance critical for speed development - it is also one of the easiest concepts to teach and train OFF the ice.
‘Getting low’ can be a difficult concept for young players to grasp when they are on the ice, as it is much more difficult to assume a low balanced position while in skates than standing on the ground.
Master single-leg balance off the ice and watch your on-ice performance soar.
So…how low can you go?
Until next time,
Kim
