Welcome to issue eight of iMprove. If you are still
involved in playoffs or summer hockey, best of luck, but for many of us this time of year is a good period in which to take stock of performances over the season, and learn a few lessons. Why not get a plan in place for being fit and ready for September? Committing yourself to Sarah Thomas’s hockey- specific core strength programme on page 37 would be a great start. Tactics and skills are continually evolving in hockey,
and we have a new skill or two to learn and also a review of the basics of receiving the ball. So read on, practise, and enjoy your summer.
