   Coach Jeremy, if you want to be a mentor/instructor you need to walk the walk after you talk the talk. You demonstrated the power position in both videos #1 and #2, reiterating how important it is to stay is this power position throughout all your skating and training. But then in Video #3 you begin demonstrating how to use your edges and immediately you have already started skating with your knees barely bent and not capable of using any power at all. If you expect the kids to learn the proper way of doing things during all skating drills shouldn’t you the instructor be doing it ? If it’s too difficult or your legs are tired after making several videos in one day, have a fresh skater demonstrate your drills using the proper position at all times. I’m not being a coach from the stands, my young sons picked up on the bad skating positioning the first time they watched your video.

   These video are so helpful. I wish I had access to these when I was younger.

    Thanks! I forget alot and your videos help. This will help me profect stopping thanks! Alot of time if I think about it I'll be sloppy but if I just do it without thought then I actually stop.
    And the same thing with my shot…. if I think about it I'll screw up. But if I just do it I make holes in metal bike baskets and break exits signs and coffee cups from a distance !
    I had a better shot before, now I suck with a capital S for stevie.

    Hey coach, stevie ray here, any way I can get discounts off equipment with your help, but I must tell you first your really far away! And it's very hot here, I try just not over heating out there.

    ok late to the party but–
    Any chance of videos that really get into and breakdown those outside edges? I'm tired of them being such a bear…
    It seems to me I need to trust that it's not going to feel quite as good on the ankles (my foot's gonna sit differently in the boot, and is going to feel a bit crammed in, yeah?), which is fine, but I'm just so tired of knowing that I'm turning to the outside but my blade's 'flatter' than over on an edge and my body weight is steering me, I'm not letting the edge work. Seems proper edges bet a little crunchy, right? What should my head, my hips, shoulders… should I lean, turn, tilt, …? Annoyed 😉 Thanks for all of these…

    These videos are awesome. Getting back into skating as an adult after decades being off the ice. Making so many gains practising these drills

    Brand new skater. How to I get up to the outside edge drill? I don't feel comfortable at all on the outside edge. Is there a way to work up to the drills shown in the 3:00 portion of this video?

    I don't know if it's the sharpening (I got my skates sharpened not even 3 weeks ago) or just the fact that I don't have good stability in my left leg but whenever I try to go outside edge on my left foot it just. slides away from under me. any advice?

    EDIT: I got them re-sharpened and the problem got solved.
