Reactive Countering Training
R.C.T™ separates good players from great ones by focusing on the nuanced inside game. It Unlocks each player’s full potential through a proven innovative training methodology that mirrors the demands of today’s game.
Players like Connor McDavid are prime examples of how this translates to the ice. By seamlessly executing complex Reactive Countering Training™ (R.C.T.) maneuvers involving synchronized foot and hand movement, Reactive Puck Placement™, and lightning-fast reaction times, these athletes consistently outmaneuver defenders, create offensive opportunities, and dominate the game.
Reactive Countering Training™ focuses on the often-overlooked but crucial ability to “Fire Multiple Motor Skills Simultaneously”—a key element for mastering the high-speed, inside-game skills essential in today’s hockey.
