Program Description

THE PROBLEM: Most players look great in practice. They can skate around cones and stickhandle with their heads up in isolation. But in a game? They hesitate. They struggle to find space. The skills are there, but the application is missing. THE SOLUTION: Zakktics™ is the bridge between technical skill and game intelligence. Designed by Coach Zakk, this program takes the elite mechanics you built in Foundations to Flow and applies them to real-game chaos. We shift the primary focus from how to move, toward when and why to move. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: We focus on building an "Internal Solutions Library" inspired by the Pros. You will learn to recognize tactical patterns instantly, so you stop thinking and start reacting. The Engine (Skating Application): Learn to use your edges to manipulate defenders, create separation, and win races to the puck. The Hands (Puck Protection): Move beyond stickhandling drills. Learn how to shield the puck under pressure and solve 1-on-1 problems without losing momentum. The Finish (Scoring in Stride): Turn your shot into a reaction. Learn to release the puck quickly in tight areas and off-balance scenarios. Digital Video Access We don’t just tell you; we show you. This program uses a dedicated digital video platform where you can access raw video uploads of your reps alongside coach demonstrations. This visual feedback loop ensures you understand exactly what adjustments to make to match the pro model. Program Prerequisites This is an advanced application program. Required: Completion of Foundations to Flow (Part 1 or Part 2) during any 2025 session (Winter, Spring, or Fall).
