OSIECKI’S ACADEMY

WHY:
At Osiecki Hockey Academy the goal is to finetune and develop each athlete’s skill set and instincts to a level that allows the athlete to play with high confidence each time he or she steps onto the ice. Coach Osiecki will take the athletes given skill set and develop a plan that allows for greater success through one-on-one personal training sessions.

WHAT:
Osiecki Hockey Academy will work to identify a player’s defensive skills and deficiencies, then utilize on-ice sessions and one-on-one individual video teaching sessions to improve each player’s vision of the game.

PLAN:
Osiecki Hockey Academy consists of a training program that has been used at all levels of hockey including with NHL players.  This includes teaching using individual game video specific to each player. Small group on-ice sessions will take place in the off-season or during breaks during the season in Madison, WI at times that are convenient to the athlete. Additional on-ice sessions can be added at a different location that would be conveniently located based on the availability of the group of players. Osiecki Hockey Academy will have ongoing communication when a player’s season allows.

Training
Operating out of Madison, WI, Osiecki Hockey Academy includes the following:

• Video: The player will receive Mark’s teaching videos from each individual’s games that will be broken down for each individual player. This video will be reviewed during meetings set up between Mark and the player. The amount of video feedback will depend on how many games the player has played during a specific time period.
• On-Ice: The player will skate in small group sessions during the off-season or during breaks in the player’s season. Mark will design specific defensive movements or drills that will help each individual player.
  ​
• Communication: Mark will be available to speak with parents and players about issues that arise throughout the course of the season and during the off-season.Not in the Madison, WI area – not a problem, we will provide video training and communicate remotely on a regular basis. During the off-season players could travel to on-ice sessions or additional on-ice sessions could be added at a location near you if enough players are available to attend.

​Player’s Skill Set

Mark will review video clips of a player’s games and breakdown one’s individual skills. This will allow  Mark to assess areas of strength and areas that could be improved upon. This will be done on a one-on-one basis and will be focused on the individual player. Mark will be your personal coach.
​
Group Ice and Training Sessions
​
When possible, Mark will work with small groups on ice to improve individual defensive skills and techniques to help improve a player’s overall game. This will be done on the ice, in the classroom or a combination of the two.
