The ELLIS METHOD
A series of natural movements that allow a player, at any level, to feel a dramatic increase in POWER.
The Ellis Method has allowed skaters from beginner to Olympic athletes to dramatically improve their POWER & speed. .
These techniques are being raved about by all those whom Sue has shared them with, not for their complexity but rather their simplicity.
When learning new skills it is important to break the skills down into segments, which can be practiced to produce the most effective movement for that particular skill. This book contains drills aimed at improving the pressure, the power, the direction, the flow, etc. for each part of the skating stride. By breaking them down into parts, making each part more effective, and then putting it all back together, we are better able to perform all the motions that make up a powerful stride and thus increase speed.
The Use of Progressions
All technical skill learning must follow a logical progression, which starts, from simple basic movement, to more advanced movements, culminating in the proper execution of the whole movement.
"I do not believe that skating is complicated or a series of learned movements!
I believe that the most powerful skating is a series of natural movements, and once felt they can be repeatedly improved upon!"
