Daily Training Tip #210

It is so important for athletes to improve on their vertical jump. Improved Vert = Improved Skating Speed

(Curtis Valk of the Med Hat Tigers spent 4 weeks at MHC this summer)

There are many different exercise routines that are geared towards improving a player's vertical jump. Plyometrics are need to be a part of those routines. Plyometrics along with a good leg strengthening program will put you in a great postion to improve your vertical jump.

The saying..."I can't play basketball because I can't jump, so I had to play hockey" couldn't be more false. Hockey players (athletes in general) need to improve on their vertical jump.

Have fun jumping!
