Daily Training Tip #112

Another goal of your off-season program needs to be to fix any muscular imbalances. This will improve performance and help prevent injury.

Your body can have muscular imbalances all over. However, a common one in hockey players is your quad strength vs your hamstring strength. Hockey players usually have good quad strength and average or below average hamstring strength. This is muscle imbalance. Improve on your hamstring strength and you will improve as a hole!

Daily Training Tip #111

One major goal of your off-season training program need to be, "to turn weakness into strengths"

Everyone has heard, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Your body is the same way. Improve on your weakness and you will become a better player.

Chris Stewart Article

Below is a link to an article and video on Chris Stewart. I wanted to pass this along as I think there are some subtle messages about his journey to the NHL that each one of you can benefit from hearing. Chris is the leading goal scorer on the Avalanche, but before he reached this point of his career he had to pay a high price to realize his ultimate goal of not only playing in the National Hockey League, but having success at this level. I think each of you will identify with some part of his journey and can apply it to your own personal hockey story.

Chris spends his summers training and improving on his game. He heads to MHC for a week or two in August along with his brother and a couple of other NHL playing friends. Good to see things paying off for Chris!

Drink a choclate milk after your workout or game. This helps the body with the recovery process!

Daily Training Tip #109

Multi-sport athletes are a good thing. Join Track this spring. The faster your run, the faster you skate!

Track athletes are taught how to run fast. Take what you learn on the track and bring it to the ice. Running track, along with a good off-ice training program will give you a jump on all the competition leading into next hockey season!
