Players who have developed Reactive Countering, have achieved skills to:

• Extend more plays

• Handle the puck in high-speed traffic

• Execute at a much higher speed

The most difficult Reactive Countering Trainings are the BEST predictor of a player’s small area game performance.

This unique training concept requires the player to execute “Reactive Countering Tactics” through resistance of the innovative equipment at high speed along with quality instruction.

The foundation of the PEP skillset - Reactive Countering Training™ - forces players to develop evasive skating techniques, increased reaction time, and react faster to create more opportunities. The R.C.T. unique reps build long-term memory structures and is crucial to reacting and countering quickly in games or situational play.

Unlike most training gadgets that only offer a single overload, PEP is a Progressive Overload and is the ONLY patented equipment with 2nd and 3rd Progressive Overloads.

These actions force the hands and feet and intellect to fire simultaneously. By firing these together through repetitions, the nervous system “wires” these skills together. ‘If they don’t fire together, they don’t wire together.’ Most other isolated trainings or single overloads, create what are called developmental delays. Hands move but feet do not (or vice versa).

Power Edge Pro’s patented R.C.T. Gear engages players with up to 12 challenging long and short Reactive Countering lanes/angles for endless situational play, forcing constant overloading of the hands and feet simultaneously. Reacting to these circuits create speed enhancing skills and activators that help players respond quicker in game action.

The Reactive Linear Crossover Training™ develops:

• EXPLOSIVE skating movements:

• Linear speed

• Lateral, transitional and separation speed

All of which are necessary for puck control/placement in high traffic areas of the ice.

R.L.C. Training is the ultimate training circuit for creating transitional speed, designed to develop a powerful skating stride - one with resistance and a low stride-to-high crossover ratio – essential for the demands of today’s game.

Key teaching points emphasize deception skills, controlling and loading the edges to combine unpredictable change of direction to create space and finally confusion for defenders.

Reactive Puck Placement is the one skill you must master for today’s game. Decision making repetitions and depth perception of puck placement-touches will allow the player to assess and feel the distance of accurate passing and puck placement skills.

Repetitions of high-speed puck placements through the R.C.T. Gear which offer multiple points of reference and secondary reaction points will help the player develop better depth perception skills; spatial awareness and puck recovery skills.

High speed execution of these sweet spot repetitions require simultaneous reactions

of deception; quick hands and accurate puck placement, all which become activators in situational play when stick on puck is presented by defenders. With only a split-second to react and move the puck to space, elite players take the quickest route, gaining offensive body positioning.
