Are Your Practice Reps Translating to Game Performance?
Many youth players experience developmental delays due to ineffective training methods. For instance, traditional drills like power skating without pucks or pylon drills often fail to develop the Reactive Countering abilities required in game situations.
This can result in players who struggle to move their feet and hands simultaneously or are slow to react and gap up on opponents—a key indicator of developmental delay. These gaps in skills can significantly hinder performance at higher levels of play.
the future is now.
