Thanks Coach!!
NP, now go rip top corn
I watch these videos a lot, they help me so much! I’m young and am starting hockey, thank you for all the tips!
Thanks bro helps a lot
Let me start by saying I love your videos, there's tons of great content, good explanations, great editing, all in all an awesome resource! However I must respectfully disagree with the notion that a snapshot is defined by shooting off the inside leg... You can shoot a snapper off the outside leg too; what defines a snapshot is the fact that you strike the puck (or more accurately, the ice just in front of it) - typically, but not necessarily, after a quick tap or drag inside - as opposed to the sweeping "fling"-like motion of a wrist shot.
A few extra points that I've found to be the most helpful things in learning this type of shot (for beginners):
1) Really need to flex the stick. Practicing with a stiff, high flex wooden stick will not help as a beginner. To this point, get a whippy stick w low flex to learn the feel of the stick snapping/whipping out after a proper flex, and really drive down into the bottom hand (transferring weight onto inside foot helps with this as mentioned in the video)
2) Best tip for top hand motion i heard was to imagine the motion of whipping a wet towel
3) Start without the initial touch or the drag inside. Just set the puck in the sweet spot and whack it directly, hitting the ice just in front of the puck, with lots of pressure *down* into the ice to get the flex, as well as forward into the puck. Once you can get a decent snap like that, then add in the initial drag inside just before the snap. If you're a beginner just learning a snapshot, trying to do it all at once with the drag first is just gonna make things harder. Isolate the components then put them together
Although i agree that this is another great video, really thank you so much for your excellent tips!!
Only got a few questions:
1. I'm not sure what you mean with "whipping a wet towel" as when we did this as kids it was just a quick upward&downward move with the hand holding the towel - did you mean "wrenching", in the sense of twisting?
2. Is accuracy really only determined by the follow-through of the stick and where you point the blade at? My impression is that that's not all, it seems that something is missing...
3. As these shooting movements are overwhelmingly complex: Do you also have recommendations which components of a wrist and a snap shot to practice in which order, for how long etc (e.g. "practice only the snap motion until the puck doesn't tumble anymore but flies in a straight line before you move on to practice flexing the stick. Practice this until you really feel the stick whipping out before you move on to practicing pulling the top hand in...")? Or do you know a systematic online course which does exactly this (ideally one where i can upload videos of my crappy shots in order to get feedback what's wrong and thus what to practice)?
So many people say "just shoot 100 pucks a day or 1,000/10,000 pucks in x days", but this actually makes things worse if you ingrain a wrong technique...
havent watched you in a minute man! how you doing?
Do you snap your wrists when you stich contacts puck or move puck briefly?
got my first game soon and the snapper is lacking just tryna get some goals
finally I can play Hockey whenever I want cause here in germany hockey is so expensive that my parents dont want me to play the game I live. They couldn‘t afford it and I got to play football (soccer) instead of hockey ( I love football as well but hockey is my favorite sport to play. I had a stick and a hockeyball and that‘s it, but now I work and earn my own money I can afford it and train as much I can do to play someday hockey in a team.
love your vids bud :)
This comment seriously made me reflect on my privilege of playing hockey. I’m jealous of your mindset, keep working and you’ll definitely make it!
@@nol2521 thanks bud!
the issue I have is, that I am not motivated enough to loose some weight and eat more healthy… I wish I could, but my mindset is very shitty in terms of loosing weight… any tips?
@@snowcat96 perhaps videos on the topic by YTers like Athlean X, Jeremy Ethier or Jeff Nippard might help. However, remember that force is mass x accelearation, I.e. if you lose weight you'll be quicker on the ice
I wacht this before my hockey season I was the top scorer on my team
I seriously want to see a relaunch of Coaches Corner with Jeremy sitting alongside Ron McLean.
I see you are using the hockey shot tiles …I bought the better hockey ones…. Do you suggest those also??
Hockey Shot is his brand. So, probably not.
I haven’t tested the Better Hockey tiles but I’m pretty sure they are the old tiles that HS used to sell before they upgraded theirs. The HS tiles are made in Canada and they changed the formula. To be honest of all the tiles I’ve tried they are all pretty similar after you use them and they get chewed up
What’s up man
Just making hockey videos :)
i've been working on my shot a lot but i cant seem to get that snap sound. a lot of the kids i play with seem to get it with no effort and they get fast zippy shots without putting any power. are there any videos or tips you could give me to learn how to get that snap sound when i shoot?
Hey Adrian. It's basically just how quickly you can punch out the top hand, and then yank it back, plus letting the puck come off the blade a bit before you shoot. The quickness of this shot comes with practice, the more you do it, the faster you'll be able to do it. Understand the good technique first, then do it over and over.
For the puck coming off the blade I like to toe it in towards my body a bit. So have it to the side, use the toe of your blade to pull it towards the net, and in towards your body a bit, then punch out that top hand while stepping to the inside foot.
@@howtohockeytraining thank you so much. ill work on this :)
@@howtohockeytraining just an update, i figured it out and my shot has improved by a LOT. I tried out for a single A travel team and I am now playing on the second line as a forward. your videos have helped me so much, and i have only been playing for 8 months and have caught up or surpassed most kids. thank you.
