Sports Specific Training and Conditioning for Hockey
From Mini Mites to the NHL every hockey player understands the importance of on-ice skill and conditioning, but too few players understand the importance of sport specific off-ice training.
The changing of the guard happens when genetically gifted youth athletes are surpassed by those who have the mental game, work ethic, and motivation to improve.
“When you’re not training, know that someone out there is.”
Working with an experienced Epic Fitness performance coach will drastically improve:
- Agility
- Strength
- Speed
- Coordination
- Balance
- Power
- Explosiveness
The difference between our programming and that of other trainers is simply the results we provide. By designing and implementing completely customized training sessions around the athlete’s sport, position, and skill level we are able to maximize the productivity of our workouts resulting in faster results and greater performance that translates directly to the ice.
To accomplish this we focus on areas often neglected by coaches that are absolute game-changers for both amateur and professional athletes.
Comprehensive programming includes:
- Balance training
- Reactivity drills
- Acceleration/Deceleration
- Core stabilization and rotational power
- Anaerobic energy system conditioning
- Explosive plyometric movements
- Strength and Power development
We do this while making the athlete less prone to injury through improving flexibility training and pillar strength. Too many top level hockey players end their career prematurely as a result of poor mechanics and asymmetrical movement—our sports conditioning specialists perform movement screenings to identify these critical issues and resolve them before they result in a career ending injury.
