Off season things pt. 2
Happy Mother’s Day!
My off season consists of building an environment that helps me recover from training and residual stress from the long season. The hours away from the ice, turf and weight room are surrounded with family, pups and people who have similar mindsets
Remember to unplug and make time to find other ways to improve fitness and reconnect with nature
In season you don’t have much control over the environment you are in. Now is a time to focus your energy on improving your weaknesses and prioritizing things that will help you prepare for success next season. I will post some off season principles in off season pt. 3
Off season things pt. 1
FUNdamentals may not be spicy, but they are FUN when you understand the process of attaining specific skills
When practices shooting and puck handling skills, treat it as a learning process, don’t go through the motions. Break down the skill! As an athlete I’ve been taught how to understand what I’m trying to accomplish, so when something doesn’t look or feel the way it needs to, I troubleshoot myself by slowing down and getting back to FUNdamentals.
🎥 I’m working on dribbling into a snap shot, but I exaggerate my top hand to retrain the pull and not go back to my bottom hand tendencies. Remember you needs breaks before you can go fast! I’m sure this looks easy, but there are so many pieces within attaining this skill that I am focusing on, including my elbow anchor and grip change.
Which training method do you think is more helpful for your sport?
Traditional “drills”:
Structured Cone or hurdle drills focusing on “quick feet, change of direction, sport specific (whatever that means)”
2. Problem solving activities that create a competitive environment for you to process information from opponents, space and time constraints, contextual speed

Quarantine Day 5 🇨🇳
Sports are not linear and not played in boxes. Encourage creativity and train to be adaptable 🧠🦶🏽💪🏾
Cone drills, ladders, linear sprinting, whistles for what…agility, speed, change of direction? How do closed drills transfer to sports performance?
Quick answer: they don’t, not in a way that’s going to help you be a better performer. These drills don’t require thinking. I’m not here to build robots. I’m here to help my athletes become better performers in their given sport.
Here’s another problem solving activity, we start with on the first training session of the week to wake up our athletes (physically, physiological, emotionally and socially) and jump start them for the week of training.
We use these activities to blend skills:
Acceleration
Deceleration
Change of direction
Reactivity and awareness
Processing speed đź§
Self-organization and exploration🤾
Problem solving đź’ˇ
Energy system development 🔋
