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. Earthing, or “grounding”, is one of those naturalistic concepts that I think a […]

If you missed Part 1, you can check it out here: An Interview with Hockey Trainer Kevin Neeld Part II digs into off-season programming for elite hockey players, what to expect in the future from performance enhancement specialists,  differences between front […]

I hope you enjoyed the weekend. I’m still getting caught up after a 5-day stint in San Diego for ART Spine, 4 days of being hurricaned in, 5 days of working at the USA Women’s National Hockey Team’s Pre-4-Nations Camp (they won the championship in Finland this past weekend with a 3-0 victory over Canada!), […]

I hope everyone on the East Coast is surviving the initial pushes from Hurricane Sandy. I’m supposed to drive up to NY tomorrow to work at a camp with the US Women’s Team so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the rain will ease up enough for my ’99 4-door family sedan to make the […]

A couple weeks back I started a class called “Pathology” as part of my massage program. The first class we watched a DVD from National Geographic titled “Inside the Living Body,” and were asked to write a paper with the loose guidelines of “what did you think of the video and why do you think […]

A couple weeks ago I posted a video on HockeyStrengthandConditioning.com with two “Reactive Jumping” (or plyometric) exercises that we’ve used with our hockey players. These are two jumps that you’re likely familiar with (I have picture breakdowns of both in my Off-Ice Performance Training Course), but this execution is relatively novel, at least to most […]

I haven’t spent as much time reading others’ websites as I typically do over the last 6 months as I’ve been chin-deep in massage school, a few good books, and working on a couple projects for Endeavor. That said, I’ve come across several awesome articles that I wanted to share with you that cover a […]
