FAQs
What is included in the off-season program?
To begin the off season, we will schedule a consultation call to go over injury and training history as well as current/future goals. Each phase will contain 3 strength days with 2 optional mobility, stability and blood flow days. We will work on the whole performance package including strength, power, speed, conditioning and much more. We will begin and end the off-season with a testing session to gather necessary info about where you are at physically. Once you purchase the program, you will have full access to texts and calls with me ranging from exercise alternatives to post workout nutrition and anything between.
How personalized is the program?
We will schedule an initial consultation call and go over many different variables. From there, we can adjust exercises to accommodate specific future goals and past injuries. Most athletes train very similar in terms of exercise selection. However, not all athletes are built the same way. Some need to focus more on strength, power or speed. We will adjust accordingly based off your pre off season testing as well. You will be able to reach out to me regarding any problems, concerns, questions, etc. over text, call or zoom. I am always happy to talk about anything related to the sport or training.
How will I receive my program?
Your program will be accessed through an iOS/Android app under your specific profile. From there, we can collect and store anything from your recent weight used to notes left on specific exercises. Each exercise will have information and video on how to properly perform it.
How long does the off-season program last?
The program will last 18 weeks. I suggest starting after you have taken time off after your season so we can ramp up and finish as tryouts and the new season begins. We can add training sessions if needed in the end. Start once rest is taken after your season concludes and you are ready to train. Begin 18 weeks before you need to be ready. Ideally, late April/early May until late August/early September.
What age/level players is this for?
Tailored primarily for 15u, 16u, 18u, Junior, College and Pro players. Other age groups/skill levels can contact me with questions for a customized plan.
What equipment do I need?
A gym is preferred. At the least you will need a barbell with plates, squat rack, dumbbells, medicine balls, sprint area, long bands and a bench.
What will an average off-season training session look like?
All strength sessions will incorporate a full body lift for about an hour. This includes sprinting, jumping, throwing and lifting. We will hit each muscle group 3x a week, enough to stimulate growth without overuse or creating burnout come September. We will incorporate conditioning after most strength days, starting slow then increasing it as the program continues. The other 2x a week will include full body mobility and stability. This will stimulate blood flow helping recovery while also increasing range of motion.
Can non-hockey players use this?
Yes, they can. All athletes can benefit from strength, power, mobility, coordination and much more included in this program. Athletes train like athletes with minor skill-based exercises done in a practice setting and not as much the weight room.
