The Hockey Talent Academy camps were helping me on my way up since I was 8 years old. I was there almost every weekend, we were going on every tournament. Jaromir Pytlik makes a perfect job, I have learned there everything I know today - “skating and all skills“. HTA taught me a lot and I think it’s the best Hockey school in Czech. I like to go to Telč to Jarda even now between the NHL seasons, in the last year we have added a gym, where I have the newest things available for a functional training, which help me in skating and in general in my game on the ice.

I heard about HTA from my younger brother who has cooperated with Jaromir Pytlik for a longer time. I always wanted to improve my hockey skills, mostly my skating. I’m glad that my brother told my about Jaromir. Jaromir pointed out my imperfections to me, but also showed me how to improve them. This year we cooperated for about month where we worked on my skating after which I felt I had made a big improvement. I realize that work on my skating is long-term work so next year it’s definite that Jaromir’s programme is my training choice.

I’m glad that I can improve myself in Telč under Jaromir’s supervison not just in skating but in all skills. Every training in HTA is prepared in great detail, using modern training techniques and at the highest level. I enjoy learning new skating techniques, puck movement and shooting. I’m looking forward to each lesson on the ice because every exercise is different and varied. I feel that it improves my development and I‘m glad that I can train in such a beautiful ice rink as the one in Telč. It’s for sure that Jaromir Pytlik has a vision and I’m certain that his Hockey Talent Academy offers the best training programme in Czech Republic.

I came to Telc this year for the first time. I trained there for about a month to impove my skills, especially in skating and general movement, before my departure to Russia. I must say that his specific training showed me that I have some things to improve. I have to say that one month spent in Telc with Jaromir Pytlik was very useful and I know that I’ll contact him next season too.
Hynek Zohorna
KHL player, player for Czech National Team
I trained a whole summer in Telc with Jaromir Pytlik who works on skills. It was great that I already had some basic skills for him from the Devils and now I‘m continuing in it here. We do similar things. I feel how much this training helps me. Every player has something to improve, as everybody tells you. The coach Jaromir Pytlik helps me a lot with my skating. He told me where I should improve myself; he understands it very well. I trained a lot in short turns, moving from the corner and similar things. I wanted to improve my technique to be more faster and confident.
Pavel Zacha
NHL player, #6 DRAFT NHL 2015, New Jersey Devils, Daily Sport 2016
I started going to Jaromír Pytlik's HTA school when I was about 11 years old. I knew that it would not be possible without great skating, and because I did not have extra good skating in my youth, I chose the HTA program, we paid a lot of attention to it and here I significantly improved it. I remember that in the beginning I wasn’t able to do some exercises, but over time I improved and I felt it on my skating and movement in the game. That's why even now, between the seasons, I regularly improve in his training programs to further improve my movement in conjunction with other skills. In his programs, everything fits together and there are excellent conditions for doing so in Telč.

Dnes byly vypsány v e-rezervaci zcela nové výuky Hockey Talent Academy pro měsíc říjen, listopad a leden. Zcela jistě nepatříme k těm, kteří by něco bezhlavě kopírovali, budeme nadále tím motorem pro který je důležitá originalita a proto začneme hned zostra! V měsíci říjnu představíme zcela novou výuku zaměřenou na nové trendy v bruslení NEW SKATING TRENDS. V měsíci listopadu se po delší době zaměříme na velice důležité téma a to PŘIHRÁVKU a její zpracování. Lednová výuka přinese nové poznatky a trendy ve skórování NEW SCORING TRENDS . Máte se na co těšit...
Pokud na poslední chvíli někdo vypadne z INDIVIDUÁLNÍ VÝUKY budou opět fungovat LAST MINUTE (objednání na poslední chvíli v čase kratším než 24 hod. do začátku výuky za sníženou cenu). Rezervujte si své místo včas!
O víkendu proběhl dvoudenní camp Hockey Talent Academy v Pelhřimově, který byl během několika dnů po zveřejnění vyprodán... Přes 100 hráčů si našlo cestu na pelhřimovský zimní stadion, který hostil poslední prázdninový camp HTA a bylo "na co koukat"... Do rozmanitého campu bylo vloženo hned několik zcela rozdílných a propracovaných tréninkových jednotek zaměřených nejen na bruslení, vedení kotouče, střelbu, ale i různé herní situace. S nejmladším kursem pracujeme pravidelně a systematicky především na bruslení, starší kursy i přes několik nových tváří jsou již zaběhlé a fungují výborně i ve složitějších cvičeních. V hráčsky velmi kvalitně obsazené SHL - SPEED HOCKEY LEAGUE mohli diváci shlédnout řadu krásných akcí. Bonusem bylo, že se výuky účastnilo hned několik medailistů HTA TEST campu 2012.
Doba se mění, nabídek je stejně jako ve vyspělých hokejových zemích stále více, je na každém z nás, kterou využije... Za realizační tým HTA mohu slíbit, že budeme stále stejným motorem s řadou novinek jako doposud, které mají jediný cíl - "Vaše spokojenost s tím nejlepším výsledkem". Ze zájmu Vás všech je vidět, že dlouhodobá koncepční práce Hockey Talent Academy Vás oslovila a nestačí si "propůjčit" několik stejných slov z názvu, opsat filozofii pro svou webovou prezentaci či dokonce rozdávat létáky jiné školy za stěrače návštěvníků campů HTA - to by bylo hodně jednoduché... :-)))
Přeji všem úspěšný vstup do nové sezóny v mateřských klubech a řadu krásných sportovních zážitků bez zranění. Chtěl bych všem ještě jednou poděkovat, velmi si vážíme Vaší důvěry a těšíme se se všemi na viděnou při dalších výukách Hockey Talent Academy.
Po dlouhé době jsme pro Vás opět připravili 10 minutové video plné dovedností. Je to jedno z posledních videí, které je přístupné všem hráčům, rodičům, trenérům, ale i konkurenčním projektům... V budoucnosti budeme prezentovat tréninkové metody či naše zkušenosti s výchovou talentovaných hráčů výhradně v rámci programu pro vzdělávání trenérů. Video nemá za úkol vyzdvihnout jedince, nýbrž na konkrétním příkladu inspirovat další hráče i rodiče, aby se zamysleli nad efektivitou výuky. V Hockey Talent Academy je řada výborných hráčů, avšak ukazujeme výhradně náš výsledek a chtěli bychom zároveň demonstrovat, že někoho dovednost naučit je pro výchovu mladých talentovaných hráčů naprosto klíčové... Posouzení do jaké míry se nám to vede, necháme na Vás. Doporučujeme shlédnout video se zvukem. Věříme, že video nenechá nikoho chladným... :-)
Když jsme 12.12.2007 nahráli první tréninkové video na You Tube, vůbec jsme netušili, kam dokráčí Hockey Talent Academy na konci sezóny 2011/2012. Od roku 2007 prošlo HTA přes 1500 hráčů, uspořádali jsme na stovky výuk, sledovanost videí HTA dosáhla k dnešnímu dni neuvěřitelných 533 520 pohledů, na výukách se podílely desítky trenérů, najezdili i nalétali jsme stovky kilometrů, naše týmy si připsaly nespočet úspěchů a známky HTA i SHL dosáhly vysokého lesku a jsou skloňovány téměř na všech zimních stadionech. Inspirovali jsme řadu trenérů, řadu projektů. Z malého miminka vyrostla krásná a vyzrálá slečna, která se stala první nepsanou královnou akademií. Hráči malinko povyrostli a dnes obsáhneme téměř všechny mládežnické kategorie, které zasahují až po mladší dorost. Chtěli bychom všem, kteří se na tomto unikátním projektu jakkoli podíleli, poděkovat, neboť všichni jste přispěli ke zrození něčeho vyjímečného. Každý rok podpoříme jednoho vítěze HTA TEST campu 2012 - 100% HTA STIPENDIEM který má všechny výuky v sezóně ZDARMA. I když by si to zasloužili všichni vítězové ročníků, zvolili jsme hráče, který vyhrál s velkým přehledem, obhájil loňské prvenství a jde s námi téměř od počátku a to Jakuba Kose (foto) - hráče ročníku 2003.
Je třeba, aby se tento unikátní projekt posunul zase o kousek dál a právě proto máme připraveno řadu novinek, které budeme postupem času odhalovat... Přejeme všem úspěšný vstup do nové sezóny, pevné zdraví a hodně krásných sportovních okamžiků v sezóně 2012/2013 samozřejmě i s HTA :-). Věříme, že Hockey Talent Academy tomu přispěje zcela inovovaným originálním dovednostním programem výukových campů sezóny 2012/2013.
I’ve been coming to the Hockey Talent Academy for 3 years now and the camps always have a high quality. A lot of top players, not just from Czech Republic but also from Slovakia, Slovenia, Germany and Austria, are coming here which gives to the camps a high level. I think this project is very interesting for the players, they can compare themselves with others and can learn a lot. I wouldn’t be coming here if I didn’t like it; I think it has a big impact for every player. That is the reason why I have both of my sons here. I think the improvement is visible. HTA focus especially on skating technique which I think is a little neglected in hockey clubs. Here it is made more interesting, giving something extra to make it better, something more that helps the players. Personally I must say that it helped both of my sons a lot. It’s clearly visible that they improved in skating a great deal. This project makes sense.

I’m glad I had a chance to participate in Hockey Talent Academy camps as a guest. I would like to come again in the future. I had a chance to help a little bit but also to learn something because I think that Hockey Talent Academy is a very good school not only for young players but also for prospective coaches. The project is managed at the highest level as far as the view of the players and coaches goes. The trainings are perfectly prepared. They train for all situations which can come in hockey. I think that it’s important for every player to get better in each skill and to improve with the help of these special exercises.
Marek Malík
NHL player, player for Czech National Team
I saw 3 trainings in 3 different categories from the youth players to juniors. The coaches are trying to give them different trainings and to train in several groups. It’s good that each group focuses on a different thing. If the training, especially in skating, is more creative then it will have a bigger impact on the player because skating is the main skill in hockey. You can see that the players here are very well coached and the trainings are of a high quality. It would be good if players have an opportunity to be here for a few days to try something different. They can work on their weaker skills for when they return to their home teams.
Radek Dvořák
NHL player, player for Czech National Team
I enjoyed the Hockey Talent Academy camp. I had never been on such a hockey camp before as a player. I just saw a few things on video. I think it’s a great thing for young players. Here are a lot of good players and it can help them before the season. The season starts in August so if someone comes 5 times during the summer to this camp it can improve them a lot. I can see here that the coaches dedicate themselves a lot to the players, correcting them, and this must help them in the future. I think we should have more hockey schools in Czech like this one and the boys should visit them. Then our hockey youth could move forward.
Michal Řepík
NHL, KHL, SM league player, player for Czech National Team
I don’t see any difference between HTA and academies overseas. I think it’s an important thing that they are doing that with the same methodology. When I was looking for something similar and searching for a partner in Czech Republic who would have similar ideas and really care about the player and his individual preparation and how to teach them hockey, I found Jaromir Pytlik. Our aims are very similar in some points because the idea is similar and that is the important thing. Honestly I can’t tell if the academy here or those in Canada are different; we do it specifically and they do it also specifically. I’m glad when I come here and can help them and I was also glad when they came to Canada for 10-days training - in fact we’re helping each other. I’m glad to see other training groups and like to educate myself as a coach; it’s very important for me.
Yogi Svejkovsky
Canadian Skill’s Coach, Assistant Coach for WHL, former NHL player
Jaromir introduced a very good skating program for our team which leads to better effectiveness in movement, especially slides. I’m happy to see Jaromir’s own skating ability; it’s always better when the instructor impresses the players with his own presentation so much that they want to improve and skate as he does. I liked how Jaromir separated his own moves to shorter and basic elements of the skating which he then put back together in a most effective move. Even the best skaters from our team had a challenge with the difficult skating exercises which Jaromir first showed them before helping even our best skaters to get better. As a head coach I was really pleased with this cooperation and was really glad that Jaromir worked with our players in such a way. The players improved their skating thanks to the skating exercises he showed them and then they started work on their skating improvement by themselves when Jaromir was absent. It’s proof of a well done job.

Thanks to my friends I got know the HTA camps. I looked at some videos on the internet and must say that I liked their work very much. That was the reason to bring my son here. I saw that the kids who were here already last year had got better and I hope that my son will like to come here as well. Today was the second day of the camp and he was really excited. HTA does a very good job with young players and pushes them forward in their career. The trainings are perfect, with all the things you’re not able to do during the season in your club and you can see how the players are getting better. I believe that this academy will continue to run well and will create some of the best players not only for Czech Republic and Slovakia but also for neighbouring countries.
