putting in the work during the first half of the season! 🏒

Why is training while in-season so important?
- provides a level of resilience to handle the demands on ice
- reduces injury risk by increasing strength
- tops of qualities like speed and power that can drop off quickly if untrained
- builds team chemistry in a different environment from your sport

“If you don’t use it, you lose it”

Speed and power qualities need to be trained weekly (especially in the off-season when games/practices are less frequent).

All of our GPA team training sessions include speed training components that allow athletes to express multidirectional speed & power as it relates to their sport.

Some examples of this might look like:
- sprinting
- sled sprints
- max effort jumps (broad, vertical)
- skips for height
- racing teammates in multiple direction

Setting realistic expectations can make or break your experience as an athlete.

Expecting a straight shot to the top with no bumps in the road/hurdles to overcome, isn’t realistic.

Sports will throw a lot at you. It could be an injury, a tough season full of losses, a team conflict, a coaching change, an intense travel schedule, or a variety of other things.

Focus on what you CAN control:
- your attitude
- your effort level
- your buy-in
- your mindset (growth vs fixed)
- your preparation (sleep, nutrition, training)

Not the things you CAN’T control:
- teammate performance
- opinions of others
- game / practice schedule
- coaching decisions
