still in the off season, though I've been skating Sundays and Tuesdays with our new and returning unrostered skaters, which we call the Quarry (Roc Quarry, get it?) It's a lot of fun. We had one drill that concentrates on track awareness and agility and getting around obstacles - skate in a pack, and everyone in the pack (except one person) falls randomly, or skates the wrong way, what have you - and it's the responsibility of the one skater to get out of their way. Reaction time and all that. I was in that drill as the hitter, and I was going at about 60% of my full force, and they were going OMG YOU HIT SO HARD!
Heh.
I've discovered that I'm a terrible teacher, though. They ask me how to do crossovers and plow stops and I'm like "um....honestly, I just do them." It's hard for me to break it down into steps. But I try my best.
