Agenda • Why Off-Rink Conditioning? • Importance • Goals • Suggested Approach • Young Athletes-10U • 10-14 • Elite Athletes • Work-Out Format • Final Thoughts
Why Off-Rink Conditioning? • Cost of rink time • Time and commitment constraints • Is training for strength, speed, power, endurance, and flexibility your focus of team on-rink training sessions?
Importance • Game is faster than ever before • Players are bigger, stronger, and faster • Chance of injury increases • You are at a serious disadvantage without improvements in strength, speed, flexibility, and endurance
Goals: • Reach full potential • Team bonding • Discipline • Mental toughness • Sense of achievement • Overall health and well being
Approach • Multi-lateral development • “the development of a variety of fundamental skills to help in becoming good general athletes before training in a specific sport.” • Periodization • “is the process of varying a training program at regular time intervals to bring about optimal gains in physical performance.” • Safety First • Have Fun!
10-14 Yrs. • Focus • Transition period from Basic towards Complex • Continue to develop: • 1. Understanding • 2. Multilateral Development • 3. Prepare body and mind to train at an elite level
Young Adults and Elite Athletes • Focus • To Compete and excel at the elite level of competition • Have a competitive advantage in size, speed, strength, power, etc. • Train specific to areas that will translate to the sport • A strategic and scientific process affecting the athlete in many areas of their life (physical training, nutrition, sleep schedules, mental training and preparation, personal life sacrifices)
Format, Example of a workout • Warm-up: • often overlooked • avoid injury and perform at the highest level possible • Dynamic activity followed by stretching • The Workout • Cool Down: • similar to the warm-up • helps flush the body of lactic acid and toxins produced by the muscles during the workout • long, slow stretching to recover the muscles and improve flexibility
Team Chemistry • New York Yankees • Highest payroll • Individual talent • 1 of the last 6 World Series • 2004 Detroit Pistons vs LA Lakers • Detroit huge underdogs • LA internal conflicts Youth Teams – Cam and friends 16U AAU – New Orleans
Youth Teams • Glory of the team, team comes first, explain the word team. • Players should like one another but must respect one another. • Players will work harder for friends • Players more likely to pass, less selfishness • Camaraderie 3. Line mate matching/ Strengths and weaknesses
Building Team Chemistry • 1980 Miracle On Ice • Team USA Roller Hockey World Champions • Outlining a team goal • Creating a family atmosphere • Team Meals • Support/ Encouragement 5. Can you make players better friends (build camaraderie)? • Cookouts • Movies • Pool parties • Other fun sports (paintball)
