HOCKEY HEAD & HAND-EYE: PART II
Pre-Routine Notes
⏱️ 30 min⚡ Equipment: Power Puck
📝 Hockey Hand-Eye: Part II focuses on head tracking while introducing more advanced balance challenges. Players track targets with their eyes and head while maintaining stability on their feet - improving coordination between vision and body.
🔄This routine builds on Part I and enhances visual awareness, reaction time, and balance, helping players react faster to puck movement without hesitating. Goalies benefit by improving puck tracking and upper body stability for quick snapshots and rebounds.
⚠️ Precautions
Stop and rest if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or off-balance. Resume only when symptoms subside. Balance challenges may feel difficult at first — this is normal and helps train real hockey movements.
