I can say that training with Jaromír is a tradition for me. I come to Telč every summer to work with Jaromír to improve my skating and shooting technique. It’s great for me not only because I have a new ice rink near my home. Every training of his in HTA is always prepared in detail and I know that I’ll spend every minute on the ice effectively. His modern attitude towards coaching gives to every exercise the highest level. It’s incredible how he is able to quickly analyze every player and recommend to them, as he did for me, the best for their development. He advised me on what I should focus on with the puck and what is necessary to improve my skating. The result doesn‘t come immediately but under his coaching the results come pretty fast. I always feel that I’m ready for the new season again.

I’m very happy to have the opportunity to train with Jaromir Pytlik in Telc. Every year I’m looking forward to the summer when me and my brothers will train together in Telc. Since I began training with Jaromir my skating and general skills have improved ; he’s doing an excellent job. Every training is specific and focuses on different things. I think HTA has a thorough training programme for both young and older players. Simply the best hockey school.

I didn’t know what to expect before my first visit to Jaromir in Telc. I thought to myself that it’s going to be the same kind of individual training which I had already done before. After the first training I absolutely changed my opinion and my eyes were opened. He looked at my skating and in just a few moments he was able to tell me what to change and how to work to improve it. He knows exactly what to do. It’s something incomprehensible for me and he’s very sharp in it, focusing on details because the details make all the difference today. I can’t imagine my game without regular training with Jaromir. He always told me: „Either you want to be special and be a tall player who skates well or you’ll be another tall player with bad skating“. I’m happy that I have improved myself because of the regular trainings with him ; it helped me a lot.

The training program in HTA was very helpful for me; I had never worked where we were so focused on details before. Jaromir Pytlik is a true professional who makes his work with heart, has a sense for training and recognizes where he can imrpove each player. That’s the reason why he has such results. All his team make an excellent job from off-ice trainng to the detailed work on ice. I have prepared in Telc for a whole summer and made improvements mainly in skating and speed. I had a good season. I was second defense man with the most points in the Magnus league and returned to the roster for WC 2017. So I’m happy from this point of view. Next season I’ll come back for sure to HTA. I’m looking forward to our next cooperation.

I have changed my summer training program a little bit. I begin pretty early. Together with Pavel Zacha I’m going to Telc to Jaromir Pytlik and spend a lot of time on the ice. The facility in the Hockey Talent Academy is super; we didn’t miss anything. We agreed on things which we wanted to improve. We worked especially on skating, acceleration, work with the stick and shooting on the move. We trained there a whole month. The improvement was evident. We improved our skating technique, condition and also stick technique. The advantage is that training focuses on the individual which is not possible in a club where you have 20 players on the ice. Jaromir Pytlik focused just on me and Pavel Zacha. He spent a lot of time with us and I must thank him for it. We have done a good job together and for me it was great that I could work on things I want to improve.
