iTrain Hockey Transitional Skating Training Intensive

[@MarianneHoward-pp7hk]

He's a great teacher. Those kids he teaches are really lucky.

[@adammiller1259]

He said “pretty basic” then did the hardest drill I’ve ever seen

[@aaronwhite1786]

I just did one of his classes, and the drill around the @11:30 mark was one where he said "This is one of my favorite drills. You're going to love it and hate it!" and as a relatively new skater who was in waaaayyy over his head with that drill, I managed to stumble through it with it looking pretty rough, but better than I expected, and can confirm, I loved and hated it.

[@skyearon268]

what i wouldn't give to skate like this guy, unbelievable. his edge control is absolutely ridiculous

[@threethrushes]

Would you give 100 hours from your life on learning the principles of efficient forward stride on a skate mill and then a further 500 hours of edge work, power skating, transitional skating, lower body strength training, and core training?

[@CrazySC833]

If I ever win the lottery, I would legitimately fly up to Toronto for a few months just to train with Sean. He instructs so incredibly clearly and also brings an intensity that I have found nowhere else

[@aaronwhite1786]

I got to do his class when he came through my town, and even as a barely-there D-League player who's largely self taught with a lot of skating deficiencies, it was an incredible time. I was still way below the class level of skating, but I feel like I still learned a ton. It's also impressive seeing just how far he gets with so little effort. You can really tell how efficient he is with his skating and how he gets every bit of power out of each stride.

[@Dominik40301]

Sad thing is that hockey classes, at least in my country are reserved only for brats (children) same as Taekwondo, there is no professional training for people over 20 ​@@CrazySC833

[@boltnacz7518]

Seriously this guy is a better skater than most guys in the NHL.

[@michaelhealy977]

Bolt Nacz .

[@OakLawnSpeedShop]

Tons of guys are great skaters but can’t play hockey for shit.

[@noahstone264]

he skates like your average professional player/skating coach. this is the caliber of skating at the pro level. plus hes not wearing any gear. hes good, but better than NHL ers? nah. average

[@andrewm4951]

Noah Stone i was going to make that comment but you already made it. Equipment makes a good solid difference.

[@wiscohans]

no where near it. his knees need to be bent at least twice as much as he is in this vidio. search for a vidio of Ryan Suter practing with ushl Maidson Capitals "which he owns" and watch how fast he goes from a dead stop to full speed backwards in about 4 strids. the sound is unreal !

thank you!

[@videogameplayer0552]

You’re a legend

[@bmw35bk]

thank you so much

[@iQ-rq8bm]

thanks bro

[@drunkviggo7263]

You and Sean Walker are beauties.

[@luismigueljimenezvega317]

Thanks for your videos. I am learning ice hockey being 45 years old, because of my kid love it. Now I can really enjoy doing crossovers, transitions,etc. and having massive fun!! Keep on!

[@kidsgotsomeskills]

same here

[@joshpike]

ditto ;)

[@lightweave]

I also started learning hockey at the age of 43. I always loved to skate since early childhood, and considered myself a good skater. Not top, but good. I only realized how much I'm lacking when I started to play hockey. To bad I didn't do this earlier.

[@costamesa22]

This guy is the real deal for 2 reasons. #1 he very clearly articulates the drills. #2 he executes the drills himself flawlessly. I’m a good skater but definitely couldn’t keep up with this guy. He’s a very good athlete and I’d say could hold his own in the NHL if he wanted. 👍

[@TheWayOutYoutube]

No he wouldnt. Hockey players laugh at this fool

[@charcole19]

Yea it’s crazy to think that with this guys speed and skills he still falls short of the NHL level.

[@Colbyw74]

maybe in the ahl or echl but even a 4th liner can do this which is remarkable you dont realize how good everybody especially superstars are in the nhl until youre on the glass watching them

[@lnatale33]

he’s a great skater for sure but not everyone can hop in the nhl and produce just because of some videos they post on youtube lol

[@NathanNightingale]

I play, coach, and referee Roller Derby in Savannah, GA. We don't use pucks or sticks, but the fundamentals of controlled skating and giving and receiving contact are crucial to our sport. For several years I have used hockey training to improve our skaters, and this is by far the best skill video I have found for maximizing our transitional skills. I will bring these to our league and see how much we can improve.

[@markmarsden5548]

5:32 the backwards crossovers! That's crazy fast! Awesome.

[@dpeshy6719]

Holy, this guy is dynamite! Highly explosive - and he doesn't lose his breath!😮 Thank you for sharing your skills with me/us! 👍

[@CrazySC833]

This guys is one of the most powerful skaters I've ever seen. You see those MASSIVE gouges he makes in the ice??? Holy shit. No wonder why he's on an outside rink, he was probably banned from indoor rinks for ruining the ice haha

[@Raptor22b]

Leg strength!

[@cwgumby]

Cold ice sharp blades

[@DeezSkates]

So true. Watching his stuff years ago has made me a much more powerful skater on the ice. Too bad I live so far away from ice that I have only ice skates once in the last year....

[@fouraces4dj]

Wow. I'm an ice hockey player in Korea. I really like your all videos and those are big help to me. You are a great instructor I've ever seen! Thanks a lot.

[@robinstigge3928]

Your skating is one of the best i've seen, so controlled and smooth! Subbed

[@kcoyne12]

This is one of the best instructors you'll find. Highly recommended.

[@fortunatogerardo7566]

By far the very best hockey instructional videos on KZbin. Well done and thank- you!

[@ClassicGil]

Best instructor and best demonstration

[@cwgumby]

The acoustics of his blades on the cold ice are magic. Love your vids bud.

[@vegasrenie]

While I like figure skating, it's the skill and raw power of hockey skating that I love. I can watch videos like this all day. No, I don't ice skate which really doesn't matter. It's the outstanding talent of hockey players that draw me to the game.

[@damianspeyerer5895]

Savannah, GA is getting an ice rink. Ive been studying with your videos.

[@markoshinskie1208]

Your skating and teaching are excellent. Thanks.

[@HumanLikeMan]

We held our practices there in the 1970's when I played in the Humber Valley Hockey Association, glad to see it still in use.

[@vegasrenie]

I watch this because I think hockey skating is more fascinating and fun to watch than figure skating. Either type of skating with see my body sprawled out on the ice - not a pretty sight - but I’ve always felt that hockey skaters have it over figure skaters every time. It’s pure skill.

[@svt7777]

You sir are absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing these tips and techniques with us mere mortals.

[@harleyriderny69]

One of the best coaches on KZbin. Outstanding.

[@jesskupiec6909]

The Zamboni guy must hate this guy... Man his cuts are really deep.

[@hansliu2330]

Absolutely! lol

[@johanmelander4521]

I just love these videos!!! They have helped me improve my skating immensely!!! Many thanks!!!

[@kevinwise5583]

The footwork around 5:20 is nuts. I can only ever get a couple of good backwards crossovers before I'm nearly turned around to the other direction again.

[@tybalt1950]

Amazing skater, perfect strides, strong on his feet....love it

[@fruitpaishizhu2739]

R.I.P. my confidence, i thought i was actually gettingbbetter at skating. But i guess i need alot more work

[@tylerschulz8512]

aldane akeem you are getting better!

[@cutter-morris]

Haha keep going, just build it up and gain confidence and keep balance.

[@marinbotev5134]

So far the best explanation and examples I've seen on KZbin! Thank you a mil!

[@Orenoryori]

That run through the drill @3:35 was some awesome skating.

[@ThomasMacNab]

Best teaching of the principles simplified for your convenience ❤️

[@whyimsmarterthanyou]

I just realized I never really learned how to skate.

[@laurenbarranger20]

Great videos! I've been translating them over to roller derby!

[@LuciTulcea]

His skating is so powerful and dynamic!

[@moddmodd88]

I just pulled my groin watching this.

[@georginikolov6908]

Thanks to you I learned so much for skating. I found the part with listening the sounds coming from my skates very, very useful. Massive thanks.

[@mrshakey2533]

I always get so much from your videos, Shawn, you actually explain what we are supposed to be doing with our skates, hips, upper body, etc. I have a question about your skates (I know you are now skating on the Bauer 2x Pro’s) do you have your blades profiled? If so, what profile is yours? 9 ft. 11ft, etc. and the final question is what hollow do you have on your skates? Thanks for all you do! I had an instructor tell me years ago when I started playing “Always be a student of the game”........ I live by that!

[@skubinski]

this dudes videos are mesmerizing

[@paulk1696]

I don’t understand how this guy doesn’t play in the NHL! Amazing skating!

[@davibrass]

They all skate this well

[@JoshMarshain]

@@davibrass they mostly skate this well, not all, there are some trash skaters in the NHL that justify their role with other attributes of their game, but yeah they're mostly this good at skating or around this good

[@davibrass]

@@JoshMarshain don't kid yourself. This guy is an amazing skater but he is focused on the technical side for the purpose of demonstrating where as players are focused on the game. They can all skate this well and better and faster. All of them.

[@DrFumesta]

Maybe he can't puck handle or shoot very well.

[@8184Media]

@@DrFumesta he can

[@charliebrown8190]

One of my favorite videos 💯💯💯 respect for this🏒🏒🏒

[@geckopower]

crazy skating. this is good stuff. i went out today and practiced some of this. i'm almost there, i must admit, i do rock.

[@baldybee]

Fair play i have watched skating videos for ages and nhl for years and this guys skating is out of this world Well done man i'm definitely going to be trying these at the rink

[@stevenmoran58]

You are the reason why I keep getting better and better.

[@lousarmento1127]

One of the most impressive skaters I've ever seen - makes it look so easy.

[@shawnthompson2303]

Dude.... YOU'RE A REALLY GOOD SKATER.

[@jonathanmaylott6273]

I remember back in the day when I could skate like this.

[@lightweave]

I love watching you skate!🤪 It looks really great and fluent, and it also helps that you don't just do it fast, but also slow with explaining. I really have to watch it several times to get the whole of the movements, as these drills get pretty complex. 😃🤗

[@jaydoll6397]

thanks sean! really appreciate your detailed instructions on technique!

[@halfdayofthejackal9372]

How is this guy not a pro player, INCREDIBLE techniques!

[@rafsonwaves]

Pewnie był. Może jest po mocnej kontuzji. A może jest mega trenerem.

[@elevul]

Well, broke the malleolus while doing the "Neutral Zone Pivot Around Puck" exercise. The tip of the blade got embedded into the ice when progressing to the C-cut version and the rest of the body continued the movement until the bone broke and I fell. So to all the newbies like me attempting this: be careful when doing that one and spend more time in the previous exercises before attempting it! :D

[@bluejay337]

Great video, excellent demonstration on transition. Looking forward to your up and coming videos in May.

[@davidchobola4259]

great drills, practicing them for the whole winter here in czech republic, thank you

[@SergeySergey691]

Amazing... Thanks a lot!

[@andrewskater8813]

How cold is it there? outdoor ice at -20C is weaker than rink ice at a few minus degrees. Is he super strong or is the ice yielding to his power too? Mind blowing skill level still!

He is awesome!!! and I love his helmet!-)

[@charlesmackatoni6979]

Would love to see his work out regime at the gym or home.
