Prompt 2

Svoboda has a very specific training regiment that he follows every practice regardless of what his coach tells him. Seeing that Svoboda is now the oldest player on his team, one of his younger teammates approached him for some advice on how to improve his hand eye coordination, something he was struggling with.

Svoboda was reluctant to help initially, as he tended to keep to himself during practices. Eventually he decided to help after all. As he told the player he'd help him, he told him to follow him down the hallway. After a couple of turns, they came across a dark empty room. As they went inside, the player noticed the room was entirely empty, other than a chair and some tennis balls in the middle of the room. Without saying a word, Svoboda sat down in the chair and picked up the ball. Then he threw the ball at the wall and let it bounce before catching it. After repeating this action for a couple of minutes, the player sat down next to Svoboda grabbed a tennis ball, and threw it against the wall.

Prompt 2

"Training your hand-eye coordination is easy. You missed the beginning of this last offseason, so of course you also missed the Raptor mountain trip. Well there's a waterfall up in the mountain that the group likes to go to to practice this. Think about when you're looking at a waterfall, the water comes down pretty fast, right? Well essentially our routine is to try to find a single droplet of water, follow it all the way from the top, and then as it comes down to the bottom, where you're standing, and you have to grab the water droplet out of the waterfall. It's pretty tricky, but we generally spend a whole week working on this. From there, you're able to track the puck as it falls down a waterfall, and then grab it with your hockey stick. And then I'll leave it to you to figure out how to bring it to the ice, but it's pretty obvious if you think about it. Anyway, good luck man."

option 2

If my teammate asks me what the best technique for hand eye coordination training, I'd tell him a few things. First, I'd tell him or her to play video games. Maybe a video game like Rocket League where it takes considerable coordination to go up and get the ball. Or maybe that doesn't translate one bit back to hockey but that's what I'd tell my teammate. If its a goalie, I'd recommend throwing a tennis ball against the wall and catching it like every other goalie does. Or I'd also suggest kicking around a soccer ball before we hit the ice in pregame as a team. We'd pass it back and forth, juggle it with our feet, etc. It'd be something that would loosen us up with something other than hockey. But furthermore, I'm definitely not an expert so I'd tell him above all to just go talk to a coach. That's what they're there for.

Option 2

To train in the way of hand-eye coordination, unique strategy would be to practice using a device that flashes lights in different areas. These lights would flash on buttons, which would be spread out about 145 degrees. To test reaction time and improve, each person partaking in the test would have to touch the light button as fast as possible. The lights would activate entirely randomly and would test reactions in all directions and at all angles. This test is actually a common factor for measuring coordination and reaction time. The teacher is one to be able to accurately make contact and track the stimuli that are coming into one’s surroundings. Another Strategy that I would choose would be to play high velocity ping-pong. In this way, the player or trainee would have to hit the ping pong ball coming out of a very fast-paced machine on a normal table, testing both speed and coordination in accurately directing the placement of the ball. These would be fun options too!

Prompt 2

Everyone already knows the GOATed method for training hand-eye is to play quick-twitch sports like Pickleball. Frankly, every pickle ball court should have two sections: old people and hockey players. Sure you could say, hey, aren't there a ton of other sports where you utilize hand-eye like baseball. And sure, for that I'll raise you badminton.

Frankly badminton is very transferable to hockey when it comes to swatting pucks away. It's all about reading the speed of the shuttlecock, and adjusting your grip just right to deflect the way you want it to. Sometimes you got a lob you need to react to and that'll build up your hockey skills of misreading a pass and having to kick it up a gear to pick it off. Other times--and here's where hand-eye gets yoked--there's a big smash coming your way and you just need to quick-twitch flick your wrist the perfect way without being able to think. Sound familiar? Just like trying to tip in a big clapper in front of the net.

Option 2:

If a teammate were to come up to me and talk to me about working on getting better and hand eye coordination, I would go over three main things with them. The first thing that I would talk to them about is working on skills to improve hand eye coordination like juggling. Juggling is a good activity because it helps your brain make quick decisions on where your hands need to be, and how to move them to keep the balls moving in succession. Training your brain to make quick decisions during juggling would contribute strongly to hand eye coordination on the ice. During warm-ups you can practice juggling a puck on a stick to work on that quick decision making. The second advice that I would have was work on practicing with another sport. A lot of players like to play soccer and juggle a soccer ball around prior to warm-ups and a game. This is a good activity to get your brain processing coordination between your body and eyes. The last tip I would have for improving hand eye coordination it’s just to stay focused on it, focusing on what you need to do exactly between your eyes and your body. It’s not going to improve overnight but if you keep focusing on what you need to do during your activities of improving hand, I coronation, then it will continue to get better

Answering for Option 2:

Vaseline Podcalzone isn't the dirtiest dangler on the block, but he certainly has some experience with stickhandling after nearly 1,000 games in the SHL and undoubtedly countless more during his entire career from youth hockey to the present day. His best advice is to imagine the puck as an extension of your body. In doing so, you become one with the puck and thus view it as something essential that you have to protect. Furthermore, through this philosophy of fusing the puck to your body, you will also be able to put the puck into motion in such a way that you otherwise might not be able to.

Now, this is not saying that you ought to actually fuse a puck to any part of your corporal existence. However, what Podz is trying to suggest is that on a mental level and not really a skills level, you have to feel comfortable with the puck, as if it was your own.

If I were to learn one thing from the great Bobby Orr, it would be to give myself the opportunity to fly! Sometimes we restrain ourselves too much trying to stay on our feet, when it is in fact the moments that we let our skates lift from the ice that people will remember the most when looking back at our illustrious careers. Thinking inside of the box too much for too long can stunt our growth, and just seeing the game in and game out every shift, every game, every season never gives us the chance to make any sort of lasting legacy. Playing the game right is the first step. It is a solid foundation we can always return to, but if everyone is playing right all the time, no one scores! If we just get pucks in deep and finish our checks, who has anything to gain but a few bruises?

Filip Lund was happy that one of his new teamate ask him about good things to do to be better in hand eyes coordination. Filip taught him 2 exercises, one on the ice, and one off the ice. First exercise is a simple one, and its only to pratice tipping the puck. You put someone at the blue line who make slapshot, and your goal is to deviate the shot in the net. Simple, but nothing is better than that to train your hand eyes. When you get better, you can try with only hald the net. You cant leave without tipping 10 pucks in a row. Off the ice, just play some video games on a PC, espcially FPS (first person shooter). There is nothing better than killing some noobs to improve. With time, you will get better, and you will be able to kill enemy faster. These training will help you make decision faster.

Thomas Liebold has fantastic hand eye coordination so he was not surprised when one of his teammates asked him to help them improve theirs. Thomas Liebold is also a fan of movies so the only forms of training he does are things that he sees people do in movies. he enjoys the movie happy gilmore so one thing he does to improve his hand eye coordination is go to the local batting cages and stand on the plate as baseballs come and hit him in the chest. this is very painful but it helps him get ready for hockey season and it improves his hand eye coordination as he keeps his eye on the ball while it is flying towards him. another thing he does is from the movie dodgeball. he has been told if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball and if you can dodge a ball you have good enough hand eye coordination to tip a hockey puck
