Private Lessons from former Professional Hockey Player, Ryan Schmidt

Improve Your Skating and Hockey Skills

90% of the game is SKATING; therefore, it is important to be a proficient skater. When your skating improves, so does your passing, stick handling and shooting skills. As you get to the next level of your game, you have to be faster, stronger and more creative than your competitor. Ryan Schmidt will help you attain the skills you will need against the competition.

Ryan’s teaching method helps players gain speed while improving balance and coordination. Every drill taught has a purpose for the game. The goal is for each player to master Ryan’s skating drills with and without the puck and to understand when and where to apply them in a game situation, offensively and defensively. Ryan will correct and/or demonstrate the proper techniques that he is instituting with every student. Ryan’s goals are not to just to improve skating skills but to build confidence and self-esteem in each student!
