HOCKEY ANKLE - PART I

Pre-Routine Notes

⏱️ 30 min⚡ Equipment: Rocker Roller, Shutout Strap, Power Puck, Breakaway Band

📝 Hockey Ankle: Part I focuses on the up and down movements of the ankle — dorsiflexion (toes up) and plantarflexion (toes down). These movements drive every stride, start, and push in hockey.

🔄This routine improves mobility, stability, and strength in the ankle and foot to help players stay balanced, accelerate faster, and generate more power through each stride. Players learn simple recovery and muscle activation techniques to improve soft tissue function, flexibility, and muscle control.

Period 1: "Muscle Recovery" (Exercises 1-3)
