Missing working with so many focused athletes at this place, but glad to see everyone is getting in quality ODR time. I believe a lot of young hockey players will come out of this pandemic with new skills they have developed on their own through unstructured and creative practice. The structure will be there when we return to team practice and training. Now is the time to experiment and add to your skill set without any fear of failure or criticism.... Keep challenging yourself outside and I look forward to the day when I can get back to guiding hockey players in person. #winnprohockey #speedbuilderblueprint #hockey #hockeyplayer #hockeylife #hockeytraining #powerskating #powerskatingcoach #winnipeghockey #torontohockey #edmontonhockey #calgaryhockey #saskhockey #hockeycanada #winnipegjets #hockeymom #hockeydad #hockeystrength

Here’s a clip of some single leg on-ice work from last summer. This drill is extremely effective in developing greater stride length, force production, balance and recovery because almost all compensation strategies are removed. Note that this is not an edge work drill. We are trying to release the blade from the ice at the end of push off. ... If you are unable to produce decent speed from this drill, you likely don’t produce a lot of force through your lower body chain. If this is the case, you will rely on the more inefficient pattern of using constant foot speed (frequency), instead of leg strength, length and speed (power). Spend some time focusing on each leg individually, and you will develop greater power and efficiency in your full stride! #winnprohockey #speedbuilderblueprint #hockey #hockeyplayer #hockeylife #hockeytraining #powerskating #powerskatingcoach #winnipeghockey #torontohockey #edmontonhockey #calgaryhockey #saskhockey #hockeycanada #winnipegjets #hockeymom #hockeydad #hockeystrength

Positive shin angles, otherwise known as ‘knees over toes’, is an extremely common and necessary position for the body to be in during any land based sport. For decades, exercise professionals have stressed the importance of keeping the knees ‘inline’ or behind the toes while pushing the knees out for safety when squatting. In my opinion, this is an example of training to train vs training to perform. To improve sport specific performance through off-ice training, we need to... be in similar positions to what we will experience during game play. As you can see in the pictures, hockey players produce tremendous forces throughout the body from a variety of joint angles and positions. In the next post, I will show you an exercise directly from the Speed Builder Blueprint program that will help you develop strength in a position that will actually transfer to on-ice performance. Come back and check it out as it is definitely something you will want to add to any training program! #winnprohockey #winnipeghockey #speedbuilderblueprint #hockeytraining #hockeyplayer #hockeymom #hockeydad #powerskating #powerskatingcoach #hockeystrength #hockeycanada #hockey #torontohockey #calgaryhockey #bchockey #saskhockey #edmontonhockey #winnipegjets

Creativity and unstructured practice is an absolute must for skill acquisition and transfer to game play. I love to warm up with what I call freestyle flow. There are no rules, no cones and no specific movements that must be performed. All you have to do is move. Use your imagination to make quick cuts and stick handles that you might have to perform in a game.... This warm up is perfect for small backyard rinks as it will really encourage the use of your edges and create the ability to react faster in a game setting. Play around with different speeds going from fast to slow and slow to fast! Put the cones away and let it flow in your next on ice session! #winnprohockey #speedbuilderblueprint #hockey #hockeylife #hockeypractice #pracy #hockeywinnipeg #hockeycanada #hockeytraining #hockeyplayer #hockeyplayers #hockeymom #hockeydad #winnproathome #edgecontrol #powerskating #skatingcoach
