Thoughts on In-Season Training for Hockey

Craig Edwards- Strength and Conditioning Coach University Of New Hampshire
I had this Friday off so I decided to put together a quick little brain-dump on in-season training with hockey players. Nothing new or outside the box, but some good reminders for other coaches working with hockey as well as a lot at what we are doing on a weekly basis.
#1: Don't Underestimate the Importance of Diaphragmatic Breathing
“If breathing isn't normalized no other movement pattern will be.” Karl Lewit
This is simple: diaphragmatic breathing is probably the simplest and easiest thing we can perform with our athletes when it comes to changing and improving movement and performance.
Proper respiration leads to better posture. Better posture leads to an athlete that is more resilient to injury and leads to better performance. More resilient + better performance = better athlete. Don't miss out on the low hanging fruit.
#2: Consistently Sprinting On and Off Ice
Acceleration is king in most sports and hockey is no different........................Join StrengthCoach.com to keep reading, watch video demonstrations, and more!
