I have to run a training session (another decade-long groin pain case that has magically resolved itself with some focused training) in a few minutes so I’m going to keep this short and sweet today. Plus, I’m probably going to need a few minutes for another Icy Hot bath. Still a bit sore from Wednesday’s […]

Last Friday David and I made a trip up to Ramsey, NJ and White Plains, NY to hang out with Perry Nickelston and Anthony Renna. Hanging out with those guys was awesome. I really click well with entrepreneurs and people that are passionate about what they do. This is true of people in any field/industry, […]

After my post last week on Weight Gain for Hockey Players, I got an email from a parent with a great question/situation that I think you’ll be interested in. This is a classic example of a parent really wanting to do the right thing, but not necessarily knowing the best direction to go. Question: Hi […]

Thank you to all of you that reached out to say happy birthday on Wednesday. Thanks to you, I beat Emily in the “how much does the world care about your birthday facebook challenge” for the third consecutive year! It means a lot to hear from you…and some of my old friends that I haven’t […]

The other day I outlined the approach I take in designing off-season training programs at this time of year (Early Off-Season Hockey Training). To reiterate, this is the time of year to focus on restoration and re-integration, NOT on “performance”. The other thing that most players need a refresher on is nutrition. It seems that […]

This is my favorite time of year. With almost all youth hockey seasons wrapped up here, we’re getting a big influx of hockey players coming into Endeavor to start their off-season training. This is what I think of as the “early” off-season because the players that are here now will have about a 5-month off-season […]

Today is Emily’s 25th birthday. I know, she’s getting old. But we still have a few years before society forces us to buy white sneakers, move to Florida and start eating dinner at 4pm every night. Em, if this is one of the 3 times you read my site every year, Happy Birthday! Partial nudity […]

This week’s gotten off to a great start. Monday we were empty mid-day at Endeavor so I audibled from our typical mother-approved playlist and let Lil Wayne run wild for an hour. Apparently, it was the right call. Matt, David and I all hit Trap Bar Deadlift PRs…during the same song. Matt-425 David-445 Kevin-515 I’ve […]

I hope you enjoyed your weekend. A lot of the players we train were in Districts so I went out to watch a few games with David and Matt on Saturday. It was great to get out of the house (and Endeavor) for a few hours to watch the kids play. Last week I mentioned […]

Before I jump into today’s post, I have a couple announcements: You can now download my hockey speed training manual “Breakaway Hockey Speed” for free if you sign up for my newsletter (look left). I removed the membership requirement for checking out the videos at Ice Hockey Training so you can now watch them all […]
