How does Sven Holmberg train skating? Well before stepping on the ice, he spends 30 minutes visualizing himself skating. He imagines how he looks skating on the ice, then imagines how he wants to look. He focuses on how his edges will dig into the ice, and how he will shift his weight. After visualizing, he then does some basic stretches and balance work. After dry land training, he hops onto the ice. The warmup starts with basic cross overs down the ice, really exaggerating the amount of edge being used with each crossover. He then repeats that with backwards crossovers. He then puts ankle weights on, and works on c-cuts all the way down the ice. After that, Holmberg works on transition skating. He skates forward towards the boards, then backwards to the faceoff dots, all the way down the ice. After the weighted training, he heads back to dry land training where he continues to use the ankle weights and focus on his balance.
