Congrats to the U.S. Women’s Ice Hockey Team for getting off to a great Olympic start!

In an effort to get more incredible contributors to Hockey Training Expert, I’ve been talking a lot with hockey coaches and instructors with hundreds of years of combined experience.

Hockey players and coaches recognize the benefits of having a fast team. When it comes to individual skill, nothing is more important than speed. This is EXACTLY why I put together “Breakaway Hockey Speed”, so players and coaches could learn to how develop game changing speed, and get access to the exact drills that I use with my players.

Breakaway Hockey Speed

Breakaway Hockey Speed

Breakaway Hockey Speed is a 25-page manual that outlines how to change your body position to maximize the power of your stride and reveals the truth about which stride pattern is better: short choppy strides vs long powerful strides (this will surprise you!). Breakaway Hockey Speed includes 6 Linear Speed Drills, 15 Transitional Speed Drills, and the information you need to integrate a comprehensive speed training program into your current training program.  This manual is exactly what you need to become faster and more explosive on the ice! Speed is your 1st key to ice hockey success.

Hockey Nutrition 101

Hockey Nutrition 101-2

All the speed in the world won’t matter if you don’t give yourself the fuel to use it. Proper nutrition is the most commonly recognized, but least practiced aspect of high level athletic performance. My colleague and friend Kim McCullough wrote Hockey Nutrition 101 to give you practical information on how to improve your diet to improve your performance. Kim brilliantly discusses how proper eating and hydration can have a huge impact on your performance, recovery, and overall development. Hockey Nutrition 101 gives you all the tools you need to figure out what you should be eating/drinking, how to make simple changes in your current diet, and how to track your intake so you can monitor your new high-performance diet! Proper diet and hydration habits are your 2nd key to ice hockey success.

Mental Performance Package

Mental Performance Package-2

Now you have the tools to develop incredible speed and give yourself the fuel you need to dominate. You’re one step away. Most players recognize that between 50-90% of their performance is mental. Most players admit that 0-10% of their training time is spent on mental preparation. Kim McCullough developed ANOTHER incredible resource for you, the Mental Performance Package, that gives you step-by-step instructions on how to develop the focus and confidence of a champion. This is your 3rd and final key to ice hockey success!

Yesterday, after digging my car out of over 2 feet of snow with a plastic dust pan and a hockey stick (what’s a shovel?), I put up a post introducing my new hockey training membership site.

Today I want to introduce some of the contributors to the site. I’m really excited about the combination of “brain power”, experience, and innovation that some of my colleagues are bringing to the site.

These two coaches are at the forefront of innovating training techniques to get athletes better results, and are directly responsible for many of the changes I’ve made in my training programs over the last few years.

Collectively, the Hockey Training Expert team brings over a hundred years of off- and on-ice training experience working with male and female hockey players of all ages and abilities to help YOU improve.

Last night I surprised Emily by picking her up at the airport (she was expecting a friend from work). Her flight was delayed, so I’m a little tired today!

I’m always curious what resources other Strength and Conditioning Coaches go to for new/unique training information. There are a ton of great books, websites, audio programs, and DVDs out there, all of which cost money.

Below is a list of my the Top 10 FREE Newsletters that I think all Strength and Conditioning Coaches should subscribe to.

Everyone will benefit from all of these, but you may find some speak to you more than others so I don’t think it’s fair to rank them (that’s why they’re all labeled “1”).

1) Eric Cressey’s Newsletter

1) Michael Boyle’s Functional Strength Coach Newsletter

1) Nick Tumminello’s Newsletter and Video Course

1) Mike Robertson’s Newsletter

1) SBCoachesCollege.com Newsletter

1) Brian Tracy’s Newsletters (I love the “Quote of the Day newsletter)

1) Mike Geary’s Newsletter (Great Nutrition and fat loss tips)

1) John Berardi’s/Precision Nutrition Newsletter

1) Kevin Neeld’s Newsletter (Had to throw that one in there)

1) Kim McCullough’s Hockey Newsletter (This is a must-subscribe for both male AND female hockey players and coaches)

These are the newsletters I read on a daily basis. If you know of other great newsletters please post them below so we can all benefit from them!

Keep learning. Keep training smart.

Last week, we agreed that mental preparation is essential to athletic success. I’ve read through a lot of articles and books related to mental preparation for athletics and frankly, I’ve been disappointed. My colleague and friend Kim McCullough has put together the best step-by-step guide to preparing mentally for the game of hockey that I’ve ever come across. Specifically, she details how to focus, build confidence, and maintain composure during hockey competitions. I wish I had this while I was playing!

Kim’s The Best Hockey Season Ever also comes with:

1) A 16-week in-season training program with off- and on-ice drills (with exercise descriptions)

2) Detailed nutrition information specific to the game of hockey including pre-game and post-exercise recommendations to maximize performance and facilitate recovery

3) Off-ice warm-ups with in-depth exercise descriptions

4) A 4-month off-season training program

5) 18 weeks of on-ice conditioning drills

6) A complete recovery guide including exercise and nutrition strategies

I was excited to see that someone has taken the time and energy to put together such a comprehensive manual for youth hockey players and coaches. A manual like this is long overdue. I couldn’t say enough good things about it. I think every youth player and coach should have a copy. Take a look at the link below and email me with any questions you may have about it (kn@kevinneeld.com).
