Great job Jeremy - what a fantastic guest. 40 years in hockey and I didn't think i could learn something new about tight turns...well done.

[@hunterpotts5298]

You can tell he is a coach by his voice😂😂

Lol!! That or one helluva smoker! Lol

[@anotherbutt4chair454]

Great news team, i nailed the crossover to my left side, building up skills baby steps, i had all my gear on and open ice, i fell down countless times, until i nailed it, looked like frosty the snow man afterwards but happy to do it. Imagine a 40 year old doing this thats me.

[@sebastiansmith8097]

I haven't started playing hockey yet but I love skating and can't wait till I start playing hockey, your vids, even though some of your videos don't help me yet, they influence me to play even more. Cheers. P.s this is from Australia, you help more than you know:)

OJFB Hockey5 Not quite😂😊

[@Cheesiethecheese]

hey man, hope all goes well. Check out "On the Bench" either on facebook or youtube for some more fundies on the game.

[@sebastiansmith8097]

Cheers man I will

[@jeramybearamy8539]

What a great takeway; "Fall down as much as possible" 39 and learning how to skate. The last thing I want to do is fall, but at the same time it will probably increase the speed of learning, so thank you (both of you) very much for a great video.

[@brentelsing4447]

I can’t even begin to tell you how much your videos have helped me to actually learn how to skate and play! Thank you so much for being a great coach. Starting a beginners league this spring, wish me luck!

[@selenadresing]

Coach Jeremy, your video is always very helpful. My son is a mite. He struggles on tight turns. I like Coach Jim's demonstration on scissoring the out side leg out. My son failed to do so. He always rushes through the turn and falls most of the time. We have 2 months left to challenge the AA mite tryout. I bet he couldn't wait to practice the tight turn after he watch this video tomorrow. Thank you! Also thank you for demonstrating the toe pick in a stick handling video. I asked him where he learned it from. He said, "Coach Jeremy" with a big smile!

[@wchatter13]

This is a part of my game I'm trying to improve. Great coaching, your videos has had a huge influence in my development over the years.

[@gergermermer]

The 2 videos with Jim helped me alot on my skating. Thanks very much Jeremy and Jim for the quality videos! Keep them coming! Can't wait for the crossover vid.

[@jonelafilms]

This is such a good tip - to fall as much as I can. Because a safe environment such as basic ice time or hockey camp is the perfect place to practice and fall a lot, not much can happen really.

[@QBziZ]

This is real quality stuff. Thanks coaches!

[@kitsune924]

btw hi jeremy i have been watching for a while and i would like to say you and hockey tutorial has inspired me to play hockey. keep up the good job

[@danielesbordone1871]

Kids , listen to these tips. This guy will turn you into good hockey players.

[@lilottovert1787]

Really really helpful! Thanks Jeremy and Vital Hockey! Can you guys do a video on crossovers?

[@om-ot8xt]

I really liked his analogies👍🏼

[@TheDp1965]

Great Video Coach. Cheers.

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

This is very good, thanks. I like your remark that you just have to do it and fall over until you succeed. 😀

[@NordicDartfrog]

Could have used this knowlegd 40 years ago. Well at least I can teach my kids how to skate. Great video.....as always!!

[@ethanonusz1325]

I've seen professionals do this all the time but I never knew why. thanks for the vid.

[@bradleylacko5590]

I wish I had coaches like this near me

[@mre_man]

Thanks coach this helped

[@dragster178]

These videos have helped sooo much!

[@davidisho13]

Great coaching video

[@soccerman127]

My problem is that my outside foot uncontrollably goes skidding way out to the side during the turn. It won't follow the direction of my inside foot. Is there a specific tip for that issue?? I know I have my edges right though

[@alvesy188]

Vaughn mills pro hockey life has a bunch of pro stock hockey sticks from players like Marner, Weber, and Kessel in the form of true sticks! You should check them out and make a video with them!

[@johnkennedyjr4036]

Great video! Quick question, what are your thoughts on keeping the outside leg under your body to be able to quickly accelerate out of the turn? Agree the wide base for stability but I find players leave the outside leg to wide causing a big sweep to cross the leg over out of turn.

[@filipadler7019]

a new drinking game, every time he has a voice crack take a shot

[@vitalhockey]

Filip Adler that's a good one hahaha

[@UH60Z28MRO]

thanks

[@matrixmirage2148]

I love that he has the whistle attached to his gloves haha Harder to lose, maybe

[@michaelcarey2614]

Lot of coaches do that so they don't have to take their glove off, then grab the whistle dangling from their neck, and then blow it. Makes it a lot faster to just bring the glove up to their mouth.

[@McQuokka]

It's momentum. Inertia is a measure of the resistance of the change in motion. Once in motion a mass has momentum, a measure of mass and velocity.

[@Giantstalking]

Jeremy do a review of those Dextra 2 gloves! I can't find any reviews on them.

[@arcanenexus7833]

When your on your outside edge with your lead foot, where is the weight/most pressure? In your heel, toe, or whole foot?

[@vanderguil]

hi Jim i have a question, how i can skating for backwards?

[@anotherbutt4chair454]

I dont know how but in trying to turn i ended up spinning around in a very small circle, my laces were a bit loose

[@RobmusFTW]

Where are your Hong Kong videos?

[@gerrycerone1341]

I love this guy plz like

[@mayembringer4898]

Big Tonka twizzy teacher🥶🥶🥶

[@danieliacovissibrown6164]

Jeremy can you do a video on how to have better puck control while skating in a game? I can stick handle well with balls/pucks off ice, but trying to get around a defenseman or make a move I lose control and usually just dump and chase or make a pass

[@Richardparent879]

Coach Jeremy I think your doing great video channel job on imparting techniques but the cost of playing Hockey is going up and up and maybe you should do some videos that talk about this with younger players and what they do(adapt) to making do with certain equipment etc. Helping young players know that they (as they grow for example) will have to buy certain equipment vs other equipment that is not effected as much with growing body.

классного парня пригласил, джереми!!! у вас в америке все прирожденные блогеры??? ))

[@anotherbutt4chair454]

My problem is my skates wont stop hurting my feet its been 6 months, im thinking of selling them and getting a different pair, but it am cautious about doing that because I’ve had these for 6 months. Not sure this is normal.

[@Evanwilliamson_]

Student Loans Are Cool try heat molding them

[@anotherbutt4chair454]

Evan Williamson, thank you i did have tgem heatmolded, the problem is my right foot is wider than my left foot at the big toe bone. They heatmolded my Bauer Vapor x600 skates also they punched them out at the spot causing pain, and now problem solved. Though now that ive gone through this for my next skates im thinking of getting a wider skate line. Happy new year.

[@devan7485]

😀😄

[@richardpapa242]

Every coach has a different opinion of how to skate . in the end it comes down to the player

[@Mackbell1976]

It is not gravity.Just saying.

[@kitsune924]

first

[@powersx2xmax]

The Physics he tries to explain is wrong. Lets start with Inertia. Inertia is a property off matter. Newtonian physics, object at rest, stays at rest, object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Inertia does not operate as resistance. Coefficient of kinetic friction and coefficient of static friction are what plays a role in how much energy is needed to move horizontally over a surface and the pressure between two surfaces. Next issue. Centrifugal Force. It doesn't exist. At all. It is a fictitious observation that appears to act on the axis of rotation from a rotating perspective. Centripetal force on the other hand, is what plays a role in turning because it brings and object closer to the center of rotation.

[@vitalhockey]

Maria Powers I agree inertia is does not act as a resistive force on a mass, but in a change of direction a mass momentairily resists the change and wants to remain on the current path... that is what I referred to... although i do have 3 years of university level physics and have taught science for 11 years at the highschool level I cant combat how well you have memorized your textbooks and sit around waiting to pounce on people, splicing pieces of what they are saying in order to look brilliant on social media. Call me up if you ever want to add constructive correction to any WRONG science you find so offensive against your academia. Im open to new suggestions for further videos... trying to show people up on social media never amounts to anything

[@CoachJeremy]

Maria Powers it's been about 15 years since Science class so of course I checked Wikipedia "Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion; this includes changes to its speed, direction, or state of rest. It is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity" As far as I can tell that's what Jim was talking about, the feeling of resistance you get when initiating a turn. Or is there a better simple explanation / phrase?

[@darinkaintz386]

Thanks for the turning lesson Jim! Very Helpful!

[@legendariestlegendarycomme7788]

Maria Powers you have to remover on ice your body will shift forwards but the sudden turn jolts your body forward instead of turning with skates so he says to bend your needs and direction and move your body with it it doesn't mean resesitant it apples resistance towards a skater

[@FranciscoTornay]

@Maria Powers The physics is completely right. There's only a slight semantic error: where he says "centrifugal", it should be "centripetal". The centrifugal force is the same as the inertia he describes in the beginning of the video. In essence, objects tend to keep moving at the same speed and in the same direction. In order to change direction, you need a force perpendicular to the object's path. Even when you apply that force, you'll notice the effect of inertia as a resistance to the turn, which is perceived inside of the object as a force, even if it really isn't. That's the so-called"centrifugal force". In the example of the car it's the force the person feels pushing him/her against the outer door. Thus, you're right that it's not a real force / resistance from an "inertial" frame of reference, that is, if considered from outside the moving object, but it's felt as such by the person trying to turn (non-inertial frame of reference), which is the perspective the coach is explaining the phenomenon from: the most natural point of view in this context. He even went out of his way to explain that it's not really a force in the car example. As I said, in order to turn you need a force perpendicular to the path (centripetal force). In skating that force comes from your own body weight, that you place perpendicularly to the path by tilting your skate edges. The center of the turn will depend on the placement of your center of mass, that's why the more you tilt your edges and the more you drop your weight, the sharper the turn will be, as the coach has so clearly explained.
