It took a summer of shooting video of new exercises, but I’ve finally put together Endeavor Fitness’ first ever YouTube video. I’d love to hear your comments on this so please post your comments below. Also, if you know anyone that you think would enjoy the video, please forward it along to them. Thanks! Kevin […]

In a recent newsletter I talked about how important it is to understand functional anatomy and human movement. I gave the example of a D1 hockey player I worked with over the summer that “tweaked his hamstring”. After he answered a barrage of my questions and I analyzed his movement a bit, I was able […]

The other day I mentioned a list of great resources. I’m embarrassed to say I left one out that would greatly benefit my hockey audience. Those of you that have been long-time readers know I’ve spoken highly of Kim McCullough before. She’s the ONLY resource I can rely on to consistently put out great hockey-specific […]

I recently got an awesome email from an old student of mine at UMass Amherst, thanking me for recommending Cressey Performance as a place to intern. It was great to hear how much he learned there and how it ignited his passion for strength and conditioning. I think finding the right resources (whether they’re books, […]

Several years ago I came across a recommendation to read Million Dollar Habits by Brian Tracy. Brian is a self-made multi-millionaire. He also never went to college. One of the fundamental habits of his success was goal setting. Setting long-term goals, then breaking them down into smaller chunks. As an example, you might say I […]

The other day I mentioned that coaches should lead by example.  I wrote a short paragraph about what this means in my Off-Ice Performance Training Course that I wanted to share with you: “A word of advice for coaches: It would be best to not prescribe any exercise that you can’t do yourself.  Ideally, you […]

Watch the 1-leg squat and 1-leg deadlift videos that I posted the other day.  Can you see the slight difference in the movement pattern? The 1-leg versions of these exercises are similar to the 2-leg versions. The 1-leg squat with the leg in front is similar to a front squat. The 1-leg squat with the […]
