Clarifications


Question
Hi, I'm Jacob. I need  Clarification on numbers 2 and 3 which are 2. In forward skating only, feet must cut ice off inside edge at 45 degree angle and as close to center line of body position as possible. When gliding or doing cross overs or cross unders - use of outside edge becomes extremely important.

3. Must encourage a FULL LENGTH stride with toe snap at extension end AND, after leg is freed from ice, then add foot 'back kick' towards butt with a quick recovery to next stride... (Watch for shortening of strides - must keep them 'longer' --- Also, even though stride is 'FULL' - the feet must still MOVE IN QUICK AND CHANGING RHYTHM OR TEMPOS.... 1,2,3, - 1,2,3 - 1,2,3 - 1,2 - 1,2 - 1,2,3   'FAST CHANGING FEET' is a general deficiency in youth hockey)  --  This part is for evasive agility...  which most times is more important then straight line speed...  

Answer
2. What this is trying to say is that often times skaters do not consciously bring their forward skate IN enough towards the center line of the body.  To increase power and speed this extra inch or two (generated from proper upper body motions and weight shift from other points) will INCREASE the push thrust off the blade - again providing it is at the 45 degree angle (or more).  i.e. if the skate is too wide off center and too "straight" - we get too much slide or glide and therefore less PUSH!  (Similarly when crossing over - a conscious application of a similar maximizing of the outside edge push will increase acceleration and explosive type agility movements...

3. there is alot said in this one -- is there a specific part you need clarification --  IN GENERAL it is pointing towards not being lazy about finishing the stride to the end of your foot (toe) with an ending "snap" out and up to return to the front nearest to middle at 45 degree push... (#2)...

Making sense?

Hope this helps - let me know if need more clearings!

Thanks
