Most of our off-season hockey players wrapped up their training last week. Most youth programs are getting started with camps in the next couple weeks.

A few days back, I mentioned that I was working my way through a new collaborative resource called Muscle Imbalances Revealed: Upper Body (or MIRU for short) from Tony Gentilcore, Jeff Cubos, Dean Somerset and Rick Kaselj.   I was going to wait to write up a review on this as I still have a presentation […]

Kyle has taken on the noble task of asking experts in various sports/aspects of athletic development to weigh in on their thoughts on everything from nutrition to training to development programs in general. Kyle’s questions were […]

Pat Rigsby just fired me over responses to a few of the most frequently asked questions he’s received after announcing the new resource.

The trend over the last decade or so for hockey players to specialize early, play year-round, and not participate in other sports (or train) has created a number of extremely talented hockey players that lack basic levels of athleticism (Quick side note: Many think this is […]

About a week ago, my friend Eric Cressey let me know about a new resource he was releasing with Pat Rigsby and Mike Robertson called the Fitness Business Blueprint.
