Glur - Girls HS Lines - 12/30

1:30 - I talk about watching the "franchise" players (i.e. paying attention to the fact when the first line is on the ice...trying to identify the best player(s)...identifying the 'trouble makers'...and recognizing, from a mental standpoint, who to watch and when.
4:50 - All puck drops should have knee bend on the drop.  Not enough officials use this method when dropping a puck for the face off.
7:00 - I start to talk about and I actually start playing, "The Guessing Game"



3:15 -  I talk about "earning your money" and how you can really take each shift to a much, much higher level in your mind.  These are all efforts to be razor sharp mentally.
9:00 - The main lesson today is all about bringing your mindset to a whole 'nother level!



1:00 -  Darren, do you have Plyo X?  Do you have it for this game?  Bring It!
3:00 - This is all about a penalty shot and the proper procedure.  

Always tell the shooter this:

"Once you touch the puck, it must be moving toward the net the whole time.  You get one shot and one shot only.  No rebounds.  Wait for my whistle before you go.  OK?"

Always tell the goalie this:
"You need to stay in your crease until the shooter touches the puck.  If you leave the crease before the shooter touches the puck, and he misses...guess what?  He gets to shoot again.  Also, do not throw your stick during the shot.  If you throw your stick during the shot and he misses...guess what?  He gets to shoot again."

8:50 - Example of where your backward skating needs full extension AND full recovery.
