Read more Sample Illustrations Power: Speed Russian Lunge (page 54) HOCKEY FOCUS The ability to recover and switch the legs under the body quickly while staying low is necessary to skate efficiently and explosively. This translates to a skater who can maintain speed of movement while delaying fatigue. Balance: Single-Leg Lateral Arm Reach (page 154) HOCKEY FOCUS Because players and the puck are constantly in motion, it is important to remain stable on one leg while visually tracking. Although this drill develops visual tracking skills in a controlled setting off the ice, players can easily transfer the skill to movement on the ice.
