WRISTY business
In the high-stakes choreography of hockey, the wrist is no passive hinge — it’s a dynamic fulcrum of control, torque, and resilience. Whether executing a reverse sweep under duress or feathering a 3D lift with surgical finesse, the wrist bears the brunt of modern play.Let’s look at the biomechanics, activation and strengthening needed to help optimise the wrist.
Physiology Cipher: Women’s Hockey
Every body has a code — few know how to read it. The Physiology Cipher takes some first steps inside the science that shapes women’s performance, helping you to begin to translate data into edge, and physiology into power without neglecting health & wellbeing.
EYE to EYE
In hockey — whether on turf or ice — the ball is rarely still, the environment is visually chaotic, and the margin for error is measured in milliseconds and millimetres. While strength, conditioning, and tactical awareness dominate most training programs, visual acuity across all vision attributes remains an under‑trained determinant of performance (Poltavski & Biberdorf, 2015).
