This four drill station progression works on changing the angle of your shot.

Featured in the 2022 TCS Live Drill Book, this progression from Next Generation HKY’s Evan Brownrigg offers four stations to work on changing the angle of your shot and create deception.

Description

• C1 ISOLATION: In this phase players are focused on hand and upper body mechanics while shooting the puck from a stationary position.
• C2 SEQUENCING: In this phase motion is added and players will focus on building upon the mechanics established in the ISOLATION phase while concentrating on having their upper and lower bodies working in synergy.
• C3 PATTERNING: Game Specific Pattern. In this phase we are creating a game recognizable situation for the athlete, mimicking a ‘D to D’ pass before stepping in and changing the angle prior to release.
• C4 STRESS: Moving Screen. In this phase we will add difficulty/stress through having a coach push a net towards the athlete who will have to react to the speed/location of the net when looking to change the angle prior to release.

Key Points

• Smooth hands and feet.
• Add deception to the movements
