Drink 12-16oz of water with every meal.
This will help you with a couple of things.
First, it will help you rehydrate after a night of sleeping and get you on your way to being hydrated through the day for all of your workouts.
Second, it will help supress your appittite so you don't feel as hungry during meal time. This will limit your serving sizes for each meal and make it easier to eat smaller amounts of food followed by a healthy snack a couple of hour later.

Great FIREWORKS Display at MHC today!
Just witnessed the best fireworks display in the Brainerd Lakes Area today. There were so many EXPLOSIVE jumpers going through dryland today. MHC's fireworks were much better than any other resorts' display. Our firework display will stick with these kids as they all grow and mature into the players they aspire to be.
We sprint, lift, jump and skate together on the same day so we develop complete athletes. Some day, one of these athletes will have a firework display for them at their own Stanley Cup Parade when they reach their goals!

Daily Training Tip #175
Try some "non-traditional" workouts today. Slosh poles/kettlebells/tires, etc might just benefit you more than you think.
With the field of athletic development expanding at a pretty fast pace, coaches are constantly coming up with new workouts. Some of these workouts are pretty good. It never hurts to try!

Happy 4th of July!
Fourth of July Commitment to Players and Camp
We would like to express our thanks for your commitment to the players and camp on the 4th of July. This is a time when most spend the day with family and we are fully aware of this. We have been in this business for over 40 years now. We have spent every one of those years at a camp and know full well the commitment it takes. We are proud we gave our time to work @ Bemidji, Shattuck and now the Brainerd Lakes Area.
It is extremely difficult to find people willing to “live a company and/or a cause”. Those of you who find a way to do this should be extremely proud, because it takes a special human being to make this commitment in life. We just want you to know that it does not go unnoticed.
We all know that young people are our greatest natural resource and we recognize that parents deserve a return on their investment. We are convinced we are a value paid; value received camp, but would not be without dedicated employees and the former campers that continue to support our program and facility.
We pride ourselves in respecting people for who they are, what they have been, what they can be, what we believe they can be and what they will not be.
So once again our only parade is the vans going up and down highway 371, the fireworks on the ice and in the training areas. It may be a commitment but it is also a great feeling because we are providing a service to young people who deserve and need it. Training is the one thing going that allows us to catch and pass our opponent in life and the game. All we ask is that you keep the vans around 55 miles per hour so all the passing cars read the logo; the hockey man that proudly represents MHC.
The real purpose of the Holiday is to celebrate the birthday of a great nation, honor our troops and the freedom they continue to protect so people like us can enjoy a “game”. Those who have served, treasure the opportunity and time spent.
With respect and gratitude for your commitment to our camp; have a proud 4th because of your commitment to youth that goes beyond any job description.
God Bless America and God Bless MHC.

Daily Training Tip #174
If you have a good vertical jump, but you still have slow skating speeds, you need to increase your squat strength.
Squat strength is a huge part of your skating speed. Without it, you aren't going to be as good of a skater as you could be. Strength and Explosiveness go hand in hand when trying to improve skating speed.

Daily Training Tip #172
Not only should you train on unstable surfaces, but you should lift "unstable" weights.
The added movement of lifting unstable weights causes your core to tighten up. It allows you to train in more game specific situations.
Try "Ole Green" and Minnesota Hockey Camps.
