UPSKILL with FANTASTIC - neuroplastic
Improving neural plasticity helps enhance player movements & optimize skill execution. We share how employing strategies such as deliberate practice, varied training, high-intensity workouts, mental rehearsal, progressive skill development, and cross-training, can effectively enhance neural adaptations, leading to improved performance and greater overall athletic proficiency.
MIXING it UP
It never ceases to amaze me how many junior hockey players have played the game and only hockey from a very young age. Few approaches could be more limiting than this. Expand your horizons and develop a more complete young player.
ELASTICITY for SPEED - part I
In a 2 part series we examine the hows and whys of increasing tendon elasticity through improved flexibility, circulation, eccentric loading, and neuromuscular control. We apply this to a program to achieve more efficient running mechanics, allowing you to store and utilize elastic energy effectively and potentially improving running speed.
