Thanks for watching! Let me know which development mistake you find yourself guilty of most often? The great thing is there's often a simple (not easy) fix that can be applied to help level up your game.

[@Hkydude236]

can you do a video on how to do punch turns pls

[@MattBowler]

As a 38 year old who loved hockey, only got to play on the street as a kid, then picked up learning ice about three and a half years ago, KZbin has played a pretty huge role in helping me learn how to learn. Some USA Hockey coaches training has helped as well, but most sources of learning proper form are online. With that said, I've been intently focused on a lot of your methodologies and techniques, and they really are paying off greatly in practical, competitive situations. It's helped make the game way more enjoyable! Thank you.

[@Train2point0]

Love to hear that and completely agree. The online world is a game changer for skill development. This generation of players can really grow from these resources.

[@jlo2o199]

I love this channel. Eventually I could see myself joining the membership once I get on the ice a little more. Currently have no stick and have just been mastering my skating.

[@Train2point0]

Awesome, look forward to working with you 💪

[@hermixtonen]

Great info! I am a 54 year old guy from Texas , 6’1” 230 pounds, not fat. I am in great physical shape, took up ice hockey (had zero skating experience) at age 45 and play once a week in a beer league. My issue is that I want to skate faster. I have been thinking I may have the wrong cut on my blade (I have 7/16) and it kind of feels like I am plowing through the ice (could this be the case, at my size?). Here’s my question - if I move to about a 3/4 cut, will the edge work be extremely difficult ?

[@Train2point0]

It depends on your edge work. The less sharp, the better the mechanics needed.

[@albondar]

💯 Agree that forward stride is not all that hard to grasp so repeating it mostly just trains the push and the recovery. I agree more useful to focus on crossing, shuffle, etc.

[@505Hockey]

As a youth coach who didn't grow up playing the game but want to do right by my young players, I've learned a lot from watching your channel. Thank you for caring and sharing!

[@kevm4597]

How did you get into coaching?

[@505Hockey]

@@kevm4597 I started playing as an adult. Now my sons play and we don't have many coaches around so I got drafted. I learn what I can from channels like this.

[@Train2point0]

Love to hear that and thank you, we are really growing and it's from people like you helping spread the awareness 👍

[@ocarinaofbanana979]

Love your vids

[@Train2point0]

Thank you 👍

[@aseltzer22]

Another great set of game-changing insights.

[@Train2point0]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@FoxMood]

nice job! continue making such a good videos!!

[@Train2point0]

Thanks, will do👍

[@AllDayShorts247]

Excellent video!

[@Train2point0]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@im.waldo.]

Im only into my first year but im finding im able to do more and more each month. The hardest part so far has been feeling or completely trusting my edges. The tip about the stride helps a lot too.

[@Train2point0]

We always recommend our players do to the drills in full gear to fall a few times and see where their limits are to and help push them past their comfort zones.

[@garrydolley]

I'm in month 3, and yeah, trusting my edges has been hard for me too

[@PuckHead00]

Another outstanding and eye-opening video, Jason! 👌🏼 From some of your other videos, I know you don’t like to fixate on things like stick flex and length (I do agree with that to a large degree). However, for sake of reference and/or perspective for your viewers, what is your height/weight, and what length/flex is your stick? Thank you! 🍻

[@Train2point0]

Thank you and that's great, 6'0 190 with an 85 flex that is up to my upper chest area.

[@PuckHead00]

@@Train2point0 Thanks so much, Jason In another video, you mentioned the top arm "pull" and bottom hand "push" is a _torsional_ motion to also add to the stick flex. If so, does the top hand "twist" a bit towards the body and the bottom hand "twists" a bit away from the body (if that makes any sense)? If I'm totally off base (highly possible ... LOL), can you please elaborate? Thank you, as always, and have an awesome weekend! 🍻

[@thughes84]

I think a lot of this is right but at the entry level which I appreciate. Shooting with velocity will require to bear down when shooting but it's not the thought of loading pre shot as much as just shooting as you showed but with more energy exerted. The tool will do the work, but the user input can impact it.

[@Train2point0]

Exactly, let the paintbrush paint and simply guide it 👍

[@akawiley1]

I've been coaching for 38 years and agree with everyone of your points.

[@Train2point0]

Thanks for the comment and keep up the great work. I am sure you've successfully helped a tremendous amount of players.

[@user-oo7nd4rv8y]

very good advice

[@Train2point0]

👍👍👍

[@TheMaggux]

Good shit, coach.

[@Train2point0]

Thank you 👍

[@Think--Twice]

I agree with you that the arms should swing laterally not forward, which counters the legs movement, despite some KZbinrs', like Sean Walker, words.

[@Train2point0]

👍 Just trying to help spread the awareness.

[@evanclark4078]

21 years of hockey experience and I agree with every point. To add to the fifth point, play other sports. Too many parents are burning their kids out by having them play all year round. Crosby might be the most hockey obsessed guy ever and he still played baseball and golf.

[@Train2point0]

No question 💪

[@bosstankproductions1304]

When I first heard about stick flex I did what you did at first, it’s def a mistake because when I stopped doing that I notice that my shot was faster more accurate and just better.

[@Train2point0]

Love to hear that!

[@hongkeyhockeyhacks1696]

I think speed skaters are taught to swing their arms side to side how did this forward to back arm swing get started in hockey circles anyway?

[@celticstephenhill]

There's a bit of flex created by the resistance of the weight of the puck itself... If you could create enough force to take a 200mph wrist shot, you wouldn't need to even graze the ice to turn your stick into a banana.

[@Train2point0]

💯

[@yurimeedeiros1209]

How is the skate should be on your feet? Tight? Loose? I don’t know

[@Train2point0]

Comfortable with enough stability but loose enough to achieve NHL shin and Y-Angle standards.

[@glenhuysamer]

Thanks again from Cape Town. In this video I especially liked the fact that you used the descriptive term.........GRACE . It is such an unusual term inside of the game of ice hockey but, it is so obvious that when the best of the best put there skills together to perform the phenomenal, the best way to describe it is graceful. Full of grace as if God himself or the Universe itself were enjoying the experience.

[@Train2point0]

Exactly, glad you enjoyed it🔥

[@filipmarek6966]

Great video. But the principle of such skating is that, the player uses the greatest possible range of skating. Thus. A player who is in a hockey stance has a imaginary line below him and tries to use the maximum distance (bounce) from the imaginary line when rebounding. After that, he has to return his leg to the hockey position again to be able to make another bounce again. Sorry for my translation, i hope you understand what i mean

[@Train2point0]

Yes thank you for your opinion but I would disagree on reaching for the maximum limit , it's more about spiraling and rebounding int your next stride using hip twist and the inner spring.

[@0After30]

I''ve been watching the lessons on Train2.0 and I realize you guys talk a lot about not pushing, but isn't pushing where you get the speed? I tried to move my feet faster with cadence but I have seem to not be any faster if not slower than normal powerful pushes. Am I doing something wrong?

[@kzalaska4804]

Hard to say without watching you, but if I had to guess I would say that your shin angle and y angle are not where you think they are. When I first started really getting into Jason's training it took me a while to trust my skates and ankles. One day I decided to just trust the y angle and fall into it. It literally felt like I was going to roll my ankle and injure myself. For a while I would forget to emphasize heel pressure and the toe of my skate would hit the ice causing me to fall. That negative feed back is a fast teacher. Now I feel the toe box of my skate brushing the ice a lot, but my weight is mainly on the heel of the skate so I don't loose grip. The results are incredible, it is literally like hitting the gas pedal. I play with a bunch of coworkers who mostly played college hockey and lower level pro (one even played 10 years in the NHL) I can finally play with them for 2 hours and mostly keep up without killing myself. Stick with it and video yourself. It helps a ton.

[@Train2point0]

Awesome success story and bang on. Adding faster cadence and frequency is only once you've locked in the other Downhill Skating pillars, then you progress yourself with aspects like cadence and rhythm. Levels to the game my friend, keep going!

[@nickknez8294]

Hah!! The 6th mistake is watching your channel 🤣

[@Train2point0]

aha well played sir.
