    "I Smuggled the Corkscrew Into USA Hockey's Learn-to-Skate" | Matt Lieber

    "I Smuggled the Corkscrew Into USA Hockey's Learn-to-Skate" | Matt LieberIn this episode of the Train 2.0 Show, Kevin McKinnon sits down with Matt Lieber, a former college teacher, hockey dad, Train 2.0 certified coach, and founder of Train 2.0 Hockey CT out of New Haven, Connecticut.Matt's story is a great one: he coached bantam hockey after college, spent decades in education, and got back into the game through his son. After becoming a Train 2.0 member himself and seeing the gap between what he was being taught and what he was seeing his son's coaches teach, he decided to get certified and build a coaching business from the ground up, all in his 50s.In this conversation we cover:→ Matt's journey from educator to full-time hockey coach.→ How video analysis completely changed his coaching effectiveness.→ Why "fewer cues, more posture-focused cues" is the secret to player development.→ Regressions, progressions, and how to assess a player in 10 seconds.→ The girls he's coached who made Tier 2 national teams and "most improved" awards.→ How he smuggled the corkscrew into the USA Hockey Learn-to-Skate curriculum.→ Why the Train 2.0 coaching community is a differentiator.→ Advice for coaches on the fence about certification.If you're a coach, hockey parent, or player who's ever wondered what becoming a Train 2.0 certified coach really looks like, this episode is for you.

    Why Players Work Harder But Don’t Get Faster | Train 2.0 Coaches Roundtable

    👉 Check out the Train 2.0+ Coaches Certification here:https://train2point0.com/coaches/# In this episode of the Train 2.0 Show, we sit down with certified Train 2.0 coach Asha Kennedy to break down the questions coaches and players are constantly asking about speed, skill transfer, and real performance development. We dive into why so many players train harder every year but still struggle to get faster, and why mechanics (not effort) are often the missing piece. From fundamental movement quality to mechanical advantage on the ice, this conversation explains why elite players often look effortless while still being among the fastest athletes in the game. We also explore why some players dominate drills but struggle to translate those skills into games. Using motor learning principles, we explain how skills must move from conscious control into automatic execution, and why internal dialogue, pressure, and distractions can all interfere with performance under game stress. Another major topic is the mechanics most players skip early in development that limit them years later. We discuss outside edge control, ankle articulation, and Y-angle and why these are foundational for deception, balance, and speed at higher levels of play. Finally, we talk about why elite skaters seem to “feel the ice” differently, and how mechanical advantage, edge control, and efficient movement patterns create the smooth, effortless look that separates top players from the rest. Train 2.0 is built on a mechanics-first approach, using video analysis, biomechanics, and reverse engineering of elite NHL movement patterns to help players and coaches accelerate development and close the gap between traditional training and modern performance science.

    Zero to One Mechanics, Mastery & Misconceptions.

    This week, Jason and Shawn dive into the real story behind how they first connected, what pros actually understand about mechanics, and why most players unknowingly stop their development at “zero.” Inside this episode: How most players think they're working hard — and why that's often not true. Why the "missing tool" metaphor explains 90% of stalled development. The invisible ceiling mechanics place on tactics, confidence, and creativity. Why McDavid and Crosby aren't magic — they’re mechanical. What it takes to break through fear, social pressure, and discomfort to reach your full skill potential. This one’s packed with personal stories, pro-level insight, and a brutally honest take on what it really means to develop.
