August

Inside the Online Youth Hockey Training Program - August Training Plan 🔥 This month we're helping athletes build the habits that lead to long-term success on and off the ice. 🏒 Training Focus: Speed Development Athletes will complete: 2 speed sessions each week focused on acceleration, quickness, and reaction time. 1 strength session each week to build strength, power, core stability, and help reduce injury risk. Our goal is to complete 3 training sessions each week, with one speed session ideally done outdoors using our sprint training guide (see inside) Seasons starting ramping up again in the next month or so, some of you may even have tryouts! Let's make sure you get your month of training completed so you can be ready to go - physically and mentally for the season to start. Nutrition: Protein Lets take a deeper dive into protein - why its important to fuel your body and mind. Join Coach Blais in the Kitchen where he'll share more about protein and how to make some easy protein- forward meals/snacks. Mindset: Visualization This month is we're going to introduce visualization. This is a skill you can practice - anywhere. Picture something in your mind, like a movie only you can see. We can use visualization to see yourself playing hockey in your mind - making great passes (or saves), scoring goals, and working hard, so when you step on the ice, your brain already know what to do! We're going to teach you how to visualize and how you can use it to help you perform better in sport and life! Let’s Make the Most of August and prepare for the upcoming season! See you on the inside! Coach Dave
