The Next Evolution of Hockey Coaching.

We help you teach your players to skate better.

Many players are not maximizing their potential for development in skating and skill work because they are being taught outdated methods that do not suit their bodies. By replacing traditional "power skating" techniques with downhill skating methods, players can quickly improve their skating, hockey sense, and overall performance. I was skeptical at first, but I've seen this method work for players of all levels, including beginners, elite 12-year-olds, junior players, and even professionals in the NHL. If you want to be a successful coach, the Downhill Skating System Coaches Course is the most comprehensive and up-to-date method for maximizing player development available today.

Who Am I?

Kinesiologist, Former Pro, Founder & CEO of Train 2.0.

As a player who never quite made it to the NHL, I was always frustrated that my hard work didn't seem to translate into better on-ice performance. I wondered what I was doing wrong. Eventually, I realized that the coaching methods I was receiving were outdated and not as effective as newer techniques. Through my own research, I discovered and began implementing these new methods, and I started sharing them with other players and coaches. Now, with over a million views on YouTube and hundreds of successful clients, I'm excited to share my coaching methods with you.

FAQ

  • Will learning to coach Downhill Skating actually transform my players?

    I used to wonder the same thing. But I thought that if NHLers were doing different movements than what was being commonly taught, why were we still teaching the same old methods? Once I started to understand what the NHLers were doing different, and showed it to my players, they started improving faster and faster.

  • Can any coach learn and teach this? Doesn't it require years of experience?

    I was worried that this methodology was too specialized for most coaches to learn. I have a degree from a top university, I played pro, and I've been coaching for over 10 years. But then I have been able to teach this method to teenagers, pros with no coaching experience, adults with no background in kinesiology. The principles are counterintuitive only because you've heard the opposite for so long. If you have an open mind, then this will actually be much easier for you to coach.

  • Are other coaches/parents/players receptive to this?

    I used to think that most coaches, parents, and players were not receptive to new coaching methods. And often, they are not. One thing we teach you is how to analyze video so that you can show players what they are doing different than NHLers in a game situation.
