In Episode 343 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we’re joined by one of the top skating coaches in the game and one of only two female skating coaches in the NHL, Danielle Fujita.
She has worked with the Calgary Flames since 2018 and brings more than 30 years of coaching experience. Fujita does an unbelievable job of breaking down and communicating not only the finer details of skating, but also the finer details of how she teaches skating, concepts that can be applied to teaching all aspects of the game.
She will be delivering an on-ice presentation at this year’s TCS Live in Edmonton, with a focus on developing explosive speed.
You can join her by reserving your spot today!
Listen as she shares the difference between strength and power, why you need to slow things down to speed them up, and the story of how she manifested her role with the Flames.
