Consistent year-round improvement in hockey is the key to long-term development and reaching your full potential. Through smart, well designed training programs, you can elevate your skills, stay injury-free, fuel your body right, and strengthen your mindset.
Check out these 5 major areas that set the best apart from the rest when they continue to get nurtured.
Hockey IQ:
This area requires constant growth. Keep developing specific hockey skills and strategies year round to stay ahead of the competition.
Mentorship: When you can connect with experienced mentors to gain valuable insights, it elevates your Hockey IQ & gives you a much needed edge!
2. Nutrition & Fueling:
Fuel your body for success by prioritizing proper nutrition based on the t raining & competition season, and you'll be ready for peak performance.
Recovery based nutrition is equally as important as game-day fueling. As training & competition volume increase, make sure to support your recovery, too.
3. Injury Prevention:
Pre-hab: Incorporate injury prevention exercises into your routine year round to protect your body!
Rehab: If injured, focus on proper rehabilitation to return to the ice stronger and reduce the risk of future injures & get back in the game.
4. Strength & Conditioning:
Continual Improvement: Maintain a consistent strength & conditioning program through out the year to make sure your physical progress matches your technical & mental progress.
Train smart to improve during the season, and soon you will begin to pull ahead of other athletes who are missing this crucial piece.
5. Champion's Mindset:
Cultivate a positive and focused mindset to perform at your best on game day!
Mental Toughness: Work on your mental game year round to handle challenges with confidence!
