Free Leg on Axels

Struggling with slow Axel rotations? In this video, we break down the evolving technique of the free leg to help your skaters move past "old school" habits and achieve more efficient rotation. Key coaching points covered: • The Passing Path: Why keeping the free leg narrow and tracking it behind the takeoff foot is essential for generating torque. • Hip Mechanics: How stacking the right hip higher and bringing it "up and over" allows for a faster transition into the backspin. • The "Floss" Exercise: A specialized off-ice drill designed to teach skaters how to pull the free leg underneath the standing leg to initiate rotation on the way up. • Double Axel Efficiency: Tips for reaching a full rotation and a half by the peak of the jump. Whether you are working on single, double, or triple Axels, these exercises will help your skaters find a more centered and powerful air position.
