Field Hockey · Preview
Setup
Put on shin guards and a mouthguard, then check the field surface. Loosen your lower back, knees, and ankles to prepare.
Start phase
Start with light passing and dribbling. Keep your knees bent and watch the ball and nearby players as you move.
End phase
Slow down and walk as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.
Target muscles
Running and changes of direction work your cardiovascular system and whole body. In a low stance, your legs and torso support your body.
Common mistakes
Do not swing your stick above shoulder height. Lower your stance by bending your knees instead of only your back.
Breathing
Breathe naturally even while running in a low stance. Ease your pace after a sprint and let your breathing settle.
Coach tip
Record the time spent playing field hockey. Do not enter pass counts, shot counts, or goals.
