Let’s face it, every youth hockey team has a few (or…more than a few) knuckleheads that have their own agenda. Some just don’t buy into off-ice (yet); some don’t respect authority; some may suspect blood sugar fluctuations due to their even more suspect food choices; and some may have just had a bad day/week. What […]

The last couple weeks have been a whirlwind. Things have been steadily picking up at Endeavor as we get more soccer and baseball players coming, which has been a lot of fun. On top of that, I’ve also had three classes per week wrapping up massage school, and have done 5 clinics in the same […]

A couple weeks ago I confirmed I’ll be speaking at the 2013 Boston Sports Medicine and Performance Group’s annual Summer seminar. This is my favorite event every year. It’s been awesome to watch it grow from what started as the “Boston Hockey Summit”. Now, every year Art Horne and Dan Boothby bring in some of […]

They broke it […]

A couple days ago, I posted the step-by-step process I go through at the beginning of every season to design the off-ice training programs for an entire youth organization. If you missed that post, I’d encourage you to check it out here: Developing A Youth In-Season Hockey Training Model Today I just wanted to follow […]

One of the things that’s really set our programs at Endeavor apart from our competitors is the fact that we develop systematic, progressive training programs, opposed to just throwing together “workouts” for kids to do on any given day. I heard a great quote several years ago (I believe from Mike Boyle, but don’t hold […]

My last post covered what I think may be one of the most powerful and commonly overlooked recovery tools available today. If you missed it, check it out here: Recovery Week: Earthing Products Recovery Week continues with a personal story that illustrates the significant impact stress and nutrient deficiencies can have on one’s health and […]

Several months ago, Mike Potenza wrote a great article for HockeySC.com titled “What’s New in Regeneration Training?” In the article, Mike outlined several interesting pieces of technology that can be used to facilitate or monitor recovery, one of which included “Earthing” products.
