SIX REASONS WHY YOU FALL WHEN TRYING TO DO A HOCKEY STOP!!!

Описание: A hockey stop involves a sudden, sharp turn on the ice, where you turn your skates perpendicular to your direction of movement to come to an abrupt halt. Falling during a hockey stop is common for beginners, and it often happens due to a combination of factors:

1. uneven Weight Distribution/leaning to far forward or backwards:
To execute a hockey stop, you need to balance your weight correctly. If you lean too far forward or backward, you can easily lose balance and fall. Keeping your weight centered over both skates is key.

2. wrong Edge Control: A hockey stop requires you to dig the inside edges of your skates into the ice. If you’re not pressing down on the edges hard enough, or if you accidentally use the wrong edge, your skates can slip out from under you.

3. Knee Bend: Proper knee bend helps you stay balanced and absorb the force of stopping. If your knees are too straight, you’ll have less control, and a slight push or slide can send you off balance.

4. Body placement : Your upper body should stay stable and aligned with your hips during a stop. If your upper body twists or shifts in the wrong direction, it can throw off your center of gravity and lead to a fall

5. Stopping abruptly: If you’re going too fast or don’t initiate the stop soon enough, the forces involved make it harder to control the stop, increasing the risk of falling.

Improving your balance, edge control, and body positioning can make hockey stops feel more natural and reduce the likelihood of falling.
