Agility Ladder Training for Hockey Players

By | September 17, 2021

As has been mentioned several times and in several places, I’ll be running a series of videos demonstrating my way of adapting agility ladder training for hockey players.  This post is my aim at helping coaches, parents and adult players to ready for that form of training. First, of course, you’ll need a ladder…  And, while you can buy some pretty nice ones, I’ve chosen to make my own, mainly because I’ve found that:  1) my form of training can be hard on a ladder, and 2) because I’ll eventually want to take an agility ladder or two to the…
