I have a team of youth hockey players Under 12. 50% of the team use very strong and powerful strides. They understand that your stride needs to have strength and explosiveness and not to just go through the motions.
The other 50% of the team strides with not much power at all. There are three very big and strong kids who seem to not grasp that when you stride you must extend stride leg with force.
One of our lightest kids on our team has amazing strides. It sounds like he is ripping the ice as he strides. Our biggest, strongest, most athletic kid doesn't stride strong enough to make a mark in the ice.
Does anyone have any drills to teach this?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
