Testimonials
“ I learned some simpler ways to communicate attacking space and opening up lanes. The concepts were simple to understand and the video breakdowns were helpful. The online portal and information was very valuable. It was great being able to go back through it and have access to it. The guided sessions with clips were great for a further deep dive on the information. Having the ability to ask questions and test comprehension was huge. I'd highly recommend this program. Any time someone can deep dive on concepts and how to utilize skills and make structures more effective it will greatly improve their ability in game. ”

“ How to attack what’s covered to open up space to where you actually want to go. [Coach Xander] gave a lot of examples ”
Maya Jones D1 Player
“ I learned about finding open and closed windows and how to think about multiple outcomes from one situation. (Coach Xander) was optimistic about all the different answers people gave. It’s a good platform and could really help kids see the ice better ”
Emily King - D1 Player
“ [I learned] windows, learning when to switch speeds, threatening who’s covered. Would recommend to another player. “
Paige Greco - D1 Player
“ [I learned] when to shoot or pass on a 2 vs 1. I like how in detail he was about the point he wanted to make clear and that he always had examples for us. I would say yes to do it because it allows you to see the game through a whole new perspective.”

Hockey Mom Susan
Coach Xander is superb! He has worked with my 12 year old son only 3-4X so far and after every session I can see his confidence and technique improve. He is Knowledgeable, patient and detailed in his instructions but provides constant corrections in a relaxed reassuring positive environment for my son. He encourages questions from my son during his sessions as well as anytime via text or email and promptly responds. I would definitely recommend Xander to anyone who wants to improve there hockey IQ and stick skills!

Coach Xander has exceeded my expectations. He's prompt, professional, and runs a very, very strong training session. I had shared with him two specific things I was hoping for my son to work on, and the lessons have been tailored around those concepts with incredibly specific feedback and drills for my son. The sessions are engaging, fun, challenging, and have really led my son to put a lot more thought into specifics including his shot, his stance, and the thought behind the decisions he needs to make on the ice.

Coach Xander worked with my 14 y/o on stick handling, weight shifts and snap shots. He breaks movements and skills down in a way that are easy to follow and can take home with you to work on further. His attention to detail and adjustment suggestions are great. My son used what he had learned after one session over 2 games this past weekend to great success. These sessions are a great learning tool and confidence builder that will do not typically get in a team practice or skills setting. We are really looking forward to future sessions with Xander.

“Conscious Hockey has helped me by giving me new ideas and tools to make my gameplay smarter. By utilizing what I have learned I can improve myself and my confidence as well as help my team. Everything I learned can be implemented somewhere on the ice and with practice, I can learn and adapt new techniques my style of play.”

“Conscious Hockey is a great resource to begin your understanding of the mental side of hockey. This program is designed to challenge your knowledge and allow you to grow as a hockey player via video breakdown and detailed explanations. I’ve watched my son’s confidence grow as he learns to apply concepts not taught by traditional hockey Coaching. The Zoom meetings are invaluable with one on one discussions, breakdowns and Q&A’s. I highly recommend Conscious Hockey to anyone looking to gain a better understanding of the intricacies of player’s movements and how to apply these theories in their game.”
“Xander has helped me with in-depth video analysis which has correlated directly to my on-ice performance. The program has assisted me in recognizing different patterns and situations that occur throughout a game. Xander did a great job making sure I was engaged in the meetings and always assured I understood the material we were covering.”

“Through the Conscious Hockey platform, Xander has helped my 10 year old son better understand how to think through his actions on the ice. It has taught him that there is a cause and effect relationship to everything he does on the ice. I was skeptical whether this would be worth the purchase for a 10 year old but Xander was able to find a way to connect with my son in a way that certainly has helped him on the ice.”

“Conscious hockey is truly a unique, exceptional program. Unlike other programs and coaches who explain topics in a very limited manner, conscious hockey presents the how and why behind the various hockey decisions. This program looks beyond the surface level, instead fully diving into all the complex intricacies and nuances of hockey. I could not recommend this program even more. If you want to expand your understanding of the game, this is the best program available.”
