Even the best skaters in the world always go back and make sure their basic movements are correct. They practice and review all basic drills almost on a daily basis in their warm up or workout. Some of those drills also can be transferred onto the ice if you master them on foot.
“Basic drills are a great way to work on skating technique. I do a couple of those exercises every day before I get on the ice, to remind myself of the proper form so it’s easier to skate correctly once I get on the ice,” says Carlijn Schoutens, 2018 Bronze Medal Winner Team Pursuit.
