Look I know you're teaching kids here, but this info is amazing for me at 41 having just started to play hockey. You break it down so well even an idiot like me can grasp it.
He trains hockey
@@LizardSkinobliviously
As a goalie, the shots I have the hardest time with are the "no wind up" snap shots - where you just flick the wrists as the puck comes to you. If you don't stop and sweep it, you give NO clue where you're aiming. I can usually tell by eye focus or waist turn where a sweep shot is going.

@@itrainhockey you have helped me soo much thank you
As an American 23 year old who just started playing less than a year ago, I want you to know that you’re videos are immensely helpful for me personally. So, thank you!
I’m in the exact same boat as you but I’ve only started a couple months now
I wish he was righty so I didn’t have to mirror flip his technique in my mind
We definitely need the service with mirrored video :)
Lol I thought I was the only one
As a lefty love these vids lol.
I mean good for me, but alot of the other youtubers like pavel barber, coach jeremy are righties.
Watch the video ... in a mirror! ;)
8:46 he was trying to say point your stick😂😂😂
The Best coach ever, I'm not native speaker but understand his explanation very well like I stand next to him with the kids
Sean's an amazing instructor! He offers excellent advice and insight on every video. Sean explains everything clearly for players to easily understand. Some coaches and instructors have hockey knowledge but struggle to translate process.
I really appreciate all the knowledge you're sharing! Your voice is in my head during every practice thanks so much
There's another thing, a huge bonus, that probably should have been mentioned with respect to shooting in your stride at 7:40, that applies to all ball sports, like football, hockey, floorball, is that, the goalie will have a _much_ harder time seeing your shot. When you "stop", which in floor ball and soccer, means you're taking a shorter step, or you are slowing down a bit, or in hockey, you glide, the goalie can much quicker focus on your feet (foot ball) or stick (floor ball / hockey); this is important from a goalie's perspective, because that means he or she can anticipate the direction of your shot _and_ when it's coming. If one shoots in the stride, this becomes exponentially a lot harder. You can score with just average shots, they don't have to be amazing or hard to save, if they're hidden in a stride / step, that lessens the window of reaction for the goalie by a lot. If you're playing football, and for instance you're free and you shoot using your toe in step, it'll basically be impossible more or less to anticipate as a goalie. Now, in football you would rarely use your toe, but let's say you've got two players attacking your possession of the ball close in front of the goal, this can be extremely useful. The point is, you want to hide your shot as well as possible. Because if the goalie can anticipate where you're shooting, no matter the power the shot has, he or she _can_ save it.
Good stuff coach. Never had anyone break it down like this. Love it.
Why is this so Goated
Great tips here.
I like this intro! Awesome-est of teaching videos and great tips.
Thank you!
@@itrainhockey I am in love with your hips. I watch them swivel, and I start sweating
The one on timidity was priceless. The kids were not taking the puck through the body rather letting each other share time with the puck. Is this learned behavior coming from parents or a more structured environment?
Just got back into hockey after 7 long yrs and now my hands and wrist feel broken all the time
Hockey is not only shooting like lot of people think,but for sure shooting is very important. Hockey is skating and playing.
Very good, the best I’ve seen so far but there is more. Break it down more so little ones can understand a bit more. Where is hand placement, what kind of stick/flex. How do you explain to follow through so they can’t mess it up. There is more! Don’t get me wrong because that video was very good! Good job
The “offleg shot” should be called the Phil kessel shot
Yo this guy is sick as heck
Dang i really wish i had this video when i was 12 years old haha i have a lot of re-learning to do at 23
The best choach of the World 🥰
Sean, I love your tutorials! I wished I had access to you videos when I was in HS and college. I started playing Ice Hockey and when it got to expensive I started to play roller hockey. It’s a little different but trying to get ice time back before 2000 was difficult. My best friend taught me how to play. I had no idea how to play whatsoever. I play D and I’m right handed in that I write and throw a baseball right handed but when I play hockey my left hand is on top and my right hand is on the bottom. I tried putting my right hand on top but it just doesn’t feel right and I can’t even lift up the puck with my right hand at the top. Is it true that you should have your dominant hand on the top of your stick? Because if it is then I’ve been shooting wrong this whole time and I don’t know how to unlearn being right handed in hockey. Sorry for the newbie question but the reason I ask is because I also played lacrosse for college and I can shoot a lacrosse ball faster when my right hand is on the bottom of my stick and my left hand at the top. Am I weird since I’m right handed but I shoot and pass with my left hand on the top? I do not know how to shoot any other way. Should I try and correct it and learn to shoot with my right hand on top or does it matter at this point?
Yes, mostly your dominant hand should be up top because the top hand is responsible for stickhandling and controlling the puck. However, it is not always true that this should be the case. With enough practice, your weak hand now (top hand) will develop enough muscle memory that it becomes your strong hand in hockey. Having your natural strong hand up top will just make it easier to start as a beginner. If anything, having your right hand at the bottom will make your shots harder at the later stage. I will not suggest you to unlearn it if you have put in some work being a right-handed player. As far as your hockey shot goes, I believe you need to refine your techniques. Remember, because you are using a stick to shoot, it is different from throwing a dart and shooting a lacrosse ball in that the motion is vertical. You should think of shooting the puck as sweeping the floor from right to left instead of up and down. You can review Sean's other vids for technique but at the end of the day, you need to put in enough reps to make it work.

Do a day in the life vid
This coach is teaching something knew every class . Not your cookie cutter teacher
Sean, I have a defenseman at home. What all-purpose stick height would you recommend? To chin? mouth, nose, eyebrows, Jagr/Barkov-style? Thanks in advance.
A bit rude he never responded… Chin (on skates) is a good rule of thumb to start out with and over time he will determine if he has a personal preference of a little longer or shorter. I recommend (if cost feasible) that the stick he uses for dryland (on foot) training be shorter than his on-ice stick, so that both are chin level and there are no technique issues
@@flashattack7063 A way better way for off ice is put some tiles to raise your feet off the ground, a shorter stick will shoot higher than a longer stick and it affects other aspects of the stick as well.
sorry what is that song in the begin intro ?
Wish u were a righty cause i have to mirror flip it
Where was this shot? Highland Park IL? Rink looks familiar
There’s a couple kids wearing RiggersHockey Academy jerseys. Based out of Edmonton Alberta. Unless they travelled to train with Sean (which I totally considered doing until his camp came to our city.)
what if you don't have the most expensive stick, what should you be looking for in a budget stick
You can get a Sharewood 5030 feather weight P.M.P pp 77 awesome hockey stick. It's $40.00 it's old school but a great stick. 😊
4:07
My problem is when I try to flex from the toe, the stick just naturally turns flat and I have the full blade and all that resistance. 😩
Keep a good grip with your dominant hand. the other hand at the lower end, just hold no pressure. Just rest stick in your hand.
2:35 what is he saying?
With my wooden sticks I have 100 000 000 000 000 000 more power than the empty and flex sticks.
Face
Paid for this class and never received the info to access. Scam.
Masterclass? Which NHL teams did you play for again?
Don’t gotta be in the NHL to have a great shot and teach how to properly take a shot, what a dumb comment
6 minutes of talking on ice is way too long my brother your next step as a teacher would be to learn how to be clear, precise & quick with your feedbacks. If you have that much to say , you would do that pre-ice.
Hahaha. Kind of like your blah blah advice here. You need this kind of breakdown on the ice. Otherwise kids are just flipping there sticks thinking they know how to shoot.
@@hotelhorton5958 but the kids didn't use the advice. They kept turning after shooting, and didn't shoot from their stride like he said to. Maybe julien has a point.
@@sakalaathletics maybe he does. I just watch lots of coaching and very little detail comes up when breaking down how to actually shoot the puck. Of course trial and error are a process of learning though.
