Is Hockey Training Expert for Me?

As a quick reminder, this is the last day to get a FREE copy of Breakaway Hockey Speed, Hockey Nutrition 101, and The Mental Performance Package for joining our Hockey Training Expert community!

The other day I got an email from a parent that went like this:

“This package sounds amazing but I think for my soon to be 12 year old son – I was looking for something that may help him with positioning and where to go and how to read/anticipate plays better – since he not the fastest shaker it’s even more important he understands where and when to go. He’s working so hard out there but not a big threat for the opposing team. Could this package help with any of those things.”

This is a GREAT email, and I encourage those of you with similar questions to email me.

I responded:

“A lot of the information on the site will definitely help your son become a faster skater. At 12 years old, he still has PLENTY of time to develop speed to compete at higher levels. As of now, the site is more geared toward off-ice aspects of player development. While I do have big plans for including more on-ice skill work, there isn’t currently anything on there that would assist your son’s ability to read the play.

I agree that this ability is incredibly important for hockey players though! One of the ways I learned while I was playing was by watching players at the next level (either higher levels at my age or older players). It’s helpful to follow a single player on the ice (pick a good one!) and watch how he reacts to certain situations. If he’s receptive to it, you may be able to point out a couple things you notice about good plays (around or away from the puck) that other players are making.”

I’m sure many of you are thinking, “Is Hockey Training Expert for Me?”

I just wrote/posted an article on a new technique I’m using to help players QUICKLY recover from groin strains because I got a question about it on our forum this week!

150+ Elite Hockey Commitments in 5 Years

Wow! What an incredible day to start the Olympics. USA won. Canada won. Russia won. Results as expected so far. I’m really interested to see how Sweden looks today against Germany. Peter Forsberg has always been one of my favorite players; we’ll see if he’s still got it!

As I alluded to in a previous post, I’ve officially added THREE incredible experts (Jeff Cubos, Mark Cardillo, and Jared Beach) to our team at Hockey Training Expert.

Among them, Jared beach fills a much needed gap in the world of youth hockey. Check out this excerpt from his bio:

“Jared combines his personal experiences playing Prep and Junior hockey with the knowledge gained from his extensive network of Division I Prep, Junior, NCAA, and National and International Pro Hockey Coaches to provide hockey players with advice on how to maximize their potential. Over the last 5 years, Jared’s guidance, training and mentorship, has helped over 150 players advance to compete at the prep, junior, college and professional levels.”

Over 150 players in 5 years! That’s truly amazing. Jared and I spoke for an hour yesterday about how misinformed players are about how to approach elite level coaches and how making the wrong moves (such as constantly emailing the coach) turns coaches off, even if the player is qualified for that level! Jared and I also discussed a future project we’re going to work on outlining EXACTLY how players and parents should go about connecting with high level hockey programs. I’m really excited about it.

In the meantime, I’m going to pick Jared’s brain about a few of the BIG things players should know and put together a mini-interview in the couple weeks.

Dr. Cubos sent me a great article on neck exercises for hockey players. Admittedly, this is not my strong point, so I was really interested to see what he had to say about the topic and to test out the exercises he recommends. He’s going to send me some pictures in the next couple days then that’ll be up at Hockey Training Expert too!

Effective programs. Innovative exercises. Great information. Updated constantly.

YOU NEED TO JOIN THE HOCKEY TRAINING EXPERT COMMUNITY TODAY!

Give it a test run for $9.95. If you don’t think getting access to dozens of training programs and hundreds of exercises are worth less than $10, then cancel. It’s that easy.

2010 Olympic Hockey Medalists

Last week we had an intern from Quebec start with us at Endeavor. Immediately following his arrival, the Flyers (my team) beat the Canadiens (his team), twice.

Now the olympics are starting. Needless to say, the trash-talking has been rampant. At the risk of losing a great intern…and a bunch of Canadian friends, here are my Olympic medal predictions:

Men’s I’ce Hockey

Gold: Sweden
Silver: Canada
Bronze: Russia

Women’s Ice Hockey

Gold: USA
Silver: Canada
Bronze: Finland

Three Keys to Ice Hockey Success

Congrats to the U.S. Women’s Ice Hockey Team for getting off to a great Olympic start!

In an effort to get more incredible contributors to Hockey Training Expert, I’ve been talking a lot with hockey coaches and instructors with hundreds of years of combined experience.

Hockey players and coaches recognize the benefits of having a fast team. When it comes to individual skill, nothing is more important than speed. This is EXACTLY why I put together “Breakaway Hockey Speed”, so players and coaches could learn to how develop game changing speed, and get access to the exact drills that I use with my players.

Breakaway Hockey Speed

Breakaway Hockey Speed is a 25-page manual that outlines how to change your body position to maximize the power of your stride and reveals the truth about which stride pattern is better: short choppy strides vs long powerful strides (this will surprise you!). Breakaway Hockey Speed includes 6 Linear Speed Drills, 15 Transitional Speed Drills, and the information you need to integrate a comprehensive speed training program into your current training program. This manual is exactly what you need to become faster and more explosive on the ice! Speed is your 1st key to ice hockey success.

This is a FREE gift for everyone that signs up for Hockey Training Expert before Friday!

Hockey Nutrition 101

All the speed in the world won’t matter if you don’t give yourself the fuel to use it. Proper nutrition is the most commonly recognized, but least practiced aspect of high level athletic performance. My colleague and friend Kim McCullough wrote Hockey Nutrition 101 to give you practical information on how to improve your diet to improve your performance. Kim brilliantly discusses how proper eating and hydration can have a huge impact on your performance, recovery, and overall development. Hockey Nutrition 101 gives you all the tools you need to figure out what you should be eating/drinking, how to make simple changes in your current diet, and how to track your intake so you can monitor your new high-performance diet! Proper diet and hydration habits are your 2nd key to ice hockey success.

Top 3 Reasons to Join Hockey Training Expert

The snow by Endeavor, the facility in Sewell, NJ that I work at, is out of control! Luckily we were able to sneak in yesterday morning to get a quick lift in before NJ officially went into a “state of emergency” and it was illegal to be on the roads.

With the launch of my new hockey training membership site this week, a lot of people are curious about what the site has to offer them. Check out the “Top 3 Reasons You Should Join Hockey Training Expert.”

1) Customized Hockey Training Programs
I think of training programs as a roadmap to success. If you aren’t following something structured you aren’t making the progress you could be. In other words, you’re wasting time and energy getting worse results. Hockey Training Expert has custom-written training programs for hockey players of all ages: Pee Wees, Bantams, Midgets, Junior/College, and Pros. You can’t find that anywhere!

The only problem with writing programs for people all over the world is that some players have access to different equipment than others. Not an issue! That’s one of the reasons I made sure the site had a forum, so you can personally contact me with any questions you have about the programs and I could give you the best answer possible based on your situation.

2) The World’s Largest Collection of Effective, Innovative Exercise Videos
Over the last 10 years, I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on CDs, DVDs and books, and countless hours volunteering under brilliant strength coaches and gaining a ton of personal experience with hockey players at all levels. Throughout that time I’ve come across and developed exercises that I rarely see other coaches using that just flat out work. I could easily compile a DVD series of all these exercises and sell it for $199, but I don’t want to do that. It’s hard enough to get access to quality information. For $9.95/month, you get continuous access to videos of the most current, effective exercises out there. You can’t beat that!

3) Constantly Growing Database of Incredible Hockey-Specific Information
I’m lucky to have such a diverse list of “experts” as contributors to the site. Hockey Training Expert hosts some of the most brilliant strength and conditioning coaches in the world, experts that specialize in both men’s and women’s hockey, experts on different training practices for players of different positions, and experts on proper nutrition and supplementation for hockey players.

In the next week, I’ll be adding three new experts: One is a great physical therapist who will provide great information on how to prevent and accommodate hockey-related injuries; one is a master of individual skill work and team systems; one has helped place countless athletes in Prep, Junior, NCAA, and Pro programs where they can flourish.

I promise to make this the ultimate site for hockey players, to make sure EVERYTHING you need to succeed is available to you through the site. You can’t find that anywhere else!
