Well it’s not just that you give the advice, but often explain why, which I really like and is very informative.

Hi brekken, what I think really helped me the most with body checking in games is; -learning to play the game with your head up, this helps you ‘be prepared’ for the check and when the check comes you absorb the hit (or give it) the best when you’re low and have your knees bent. -another thing that is really important is to have a strong core. So incorporating exercise like anti rotation, and stability movement are helpful. -last but not least it’s essential to learn proper hitting technique (give and receive), you might want to ask a coach, trainer or Luke about that. Hope this answers (part of) your question.

Thank you so much, love so much detailed advice. I’ll try it out and let you know. (My I’m from Holland so call me whatever you prefer)
