Mastering Counter Pressing
Counter-pressing should be a defined and intentional phase of both your game model and your opponent’s. Too often, the moment of losing possession is overlooked—yet it can be one of the most powerful opportunities in hockey.
This course will explore:
• Why losing the ball is an opportunity for your team rather than a setback
• Insights from elite teams and how they apply counter-pressing at the highest level
• Key factors in effective counter-pressing, broken down into clear, practical elements
• Practical approaches across levels, from youth development to national teams
