In this video I go through a few different drill progressions to help you improve your backwards skating, and backwards crossovers in hockey.
In order to become a strong skater, and start to dominate hockey games with our speed, we need to learn the foundational movements and practice the proper techniques over and over and over again. If you are struggling with your backwards crossovers and not picking up some of the speed that you would like, then go back to basics, work on these drills, and over time and with the correct amount of practice and application your skills and speed will start to improve!
And lastly make sure you’re taking the time as well to work on your edge work skills, being confident on your edges is going to allow you to be more confident when it comes to crossing over, especially going backwards.
