Video Driven Development for Professional Results

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Jack Winger has been working with elite hockey players since 2018. Recognizing the need for video review training in the hockey sphere, Winger established a unique use of video analysis and skill development that he has honed professionally for nearly a decade.

By studying each athlete’s tendencies, decision-making patterns, and capabilities, he has been able to deliver individualized development that translates into consistent, game-to-game performance. This approach led to the creation of Deceptive Hockey and has produced measurable results since its founding, including players who have progressed to NCAA and professional careers, including the NHL.

Jack and his team of experienced coaches work with driven players who are committed to maximizing their full potential as hockey players and competitors.

The key areas, details, and in-depth week-by-week analysis is something I would recommend for any elite hockey player who is looking to advance."

"Video with Jack has been instrumental in helping me elevate my game to an elite level. My first year of junior did not go as well as I was hoping. After doing video with Jack in the summer and season, it helped me break down little details in my game. Those details made a big impact on my overall game. I was able to gain more confidence and play much more consistently throughout the season."

"Jack's video has helped a lot with my game. Video analysis shows a different perspective than my coaches give me. He breaks down my games to levels no one has before, and it’s not just in a summer skate, it’s during a game. He encourages me and gives me the confidence to try things that I would never think of doing. Not only does he have me trying new things, but he’s giving me realistic opportunities to use my skill sets to separate myself from other players."

Why Video Analysis?

Every player has hurdles to overcome during the season. Reviewing gameplay using strategic video analysis can help players identify core strengths to establish a clear identity and to define the skill sets they can rely on to create consistency within their game.

Our individualized, discussion-based video sessions focus on skills and realistic play options. By evaluating video gameplay, our coaches can identify each player’s strengths, weaknesses, and what shapes their overall game. Check out some of our sample video training sessions to see how our method works.
