Why Most Film Study is Useless
Most Film coaches only point out Mistakes
Pointing out what went wrong and what you should’ve done instead, is easy! The hard part is figuring out how you actually do the right thing the next opportunity.
Most film coaches mean well but fail to give players useful help.
1
Most Film Coaches focus on outcomes
An outcome is a result, you cannot go into a chaotic situation, thinking about a result 10 seconds later. You need a step by step guide that eventually builds up your instincts so you don’t need to think.
What are the actual steps between hockey knowledge and acting.

Pointless advice
Imagine if a coach came to you and said you need to play more like McDavid. Then showed you an example of you playing slow… Then played a highlight reel of McDavid goals.
If all it took was seeing highlights, the player who watched the most YouTube would be the best.
That isn’t how it works, let me tell you how it does work…

How you will learn with Conscious Hockey
A Film Coach needs to understand your current style of play AND what your ideal form should look like.
That’s why I analyze your game film as well as study players you should be trying to emulate in 1 on 1 zoom meetings.
Structured and Progressive video breakdowns.
1
Build a foundation of decision making fundamentals then improve your creativity.
You are taken step by step through different phases of the game, actively practicing what you learn at all times.
Starting with adaptable offensive deception, to shut down defense, and predictive off puck movement.
2
Successful film study comes from simulating decisions...
With accurate guidance of what to look out for from your opponents…
Completing Simulation Video Quizzes make you identify qualities of actual situations.

My name is Xander, I am a former NCAA D2 player. I got fed up with wasting my time and energy doing drills with no connection to a real game.
I created Conscious Hockey to help players like you, study the strategies of the best NHL players.
-
Players want specific details to practice, not buzzwords that everybody already has heard.
I started by analyzing game film and compiling a library of clips of all the best players.
I started posting about my research on Instagram. Where I developed a following and got valuable feedback on what problems to study next.
-
A business of training players to shoot and stick handle on and off ice developed... But there was still something missing.
I saw a need for a personalized program that taught players decision making strategy .
There are a lot of great coaches that teach techniques of skating, shooting, and stick handling.
Very few coaches teach players how to see the ice, what decisions to make, and how to deceive opponents.
At that point I began shifting my focus from in person skills training to online film study.
The Film Analysis Program developed. Doing what I love to do everyday is a privilege that I don’t take for granted.
Studying hockey’s best, and teaching players how to achieve their full potential is the best job I could ask for.

You get access to 7 personalized 1 on 1 zoom meetings with me. A structured online course of detailed video breakdowns. Many simulation video quizzes giving you a place to practice decision making. You also get access to this program for life which includes all future updates.
-
The best way to complete my program is in about 7 weeks, with one personalized 1 on 1 zoom meeting every week. Some players do take more time if they choose to complete the meetings at less regular times.
-
Every week I send out a schedule of options to my clients. They can reserve their spot week to week or commit to a specific time for a regular meeting.
-
No problem, the benefit of studying with a film coach is I can be flexible with my rescheduling. The sooner you let me know the better to find you a more suitable meeting time.
-
I’ve trained players from age 10 all the way to pro level players in their 20’s. The program is adaptable and beneficial to anybody older than 10.
-
I’ve trained hundreds of players. These players include professionals from Europe, Canada, and the United States. Even hired to deliver my program to a NCAA Division I team. I’ve coached many high performing players in the youth, highschool, junior, and college levels.
-
The cost is $700usd which can be broken up into smaller payments upon request. The cost for a personal skills coach for an hour of ice can be upwards of 100+ per hour. When you train on the ice with someone that training stops as soon as the session is over. In the Film Analysis Program once the 1 on 1 meeting ends, your training has only just begun. You will see every repetition completely different with new knowledge. The snowball of improvement will grow until you are the best version of yourself.
