LEVEL II
SKILLS ANALYSIS
As a coach, you have the responsibility of telling your athletes whether or not they are using proper technique in their skills. You should also be able to tell them the specific corrections which will improve their skills.
Chapter Review:

They explain how the parts of the body should be used when your athletes perform their skills. If you can understand and apply these few principles, you can become a skill analyst in hockey.
The two principles to be covered in this level are:
Use All the Joints That Can Be Used (summation of joint forces)
Principle 2:
Use Each Joint in Order (continuity of joint forces)
Both of these principles apply specifically to power skills such as skating and shooting, where the athlete is trying to create as much force as possible.
Principle 1: Use all the Joints that can be used
Forces from each joint must be combined to produce a maximum effect. When all the joints that can be used are used, a step towards maximum performance has been taken. When available joints are not used they act as a hindrance. They substantially decrease the possibility of a maximum effort.
The important thing to remember is every joint that is part of the movement must be used to get the most speed, power, or acceleration out of each action.
Here are some examples that will help you to understand Principle #1:
