I like Paul’s stuff, and I appreciate how he uses the “rest time” for flexibility training. Despite that, I think this endurance section is lacking in one or two ways. I think it can be more effective to work “skating skill” concepts into the work we do with endurance training. Also more work could be done to actually check the skaters as they are stretching, etc.

Great point Sean, in earlier incarnations of this session I tried to do more effective “skating skill” exercises to go along with the cardio aspect, but what we found was the kids ended up getting less cardio as they were putting more emphasis on the exercises so we ended up simplifying. It’s a fine line to walk of course as we are always trying to “multitask’ the skaters and get the most out of every situation. As for the stretching component in a perfect situation we have two coaches on the ice, one for each station so that the stretching is monitored, in the situation shown there just wasn’t another coach that day. Good luck with your sessions, please feel free to comment or ask questions on any other videos!!!!
