Summer, not fall, is the
time to start training for the next hockey season.
Players must be in top
physical shape in order to play their best and in
many cases to
make an impression to make the team.
4 types of Summer
Conditioning is required
1.
Strength training - using weights to improve
your
upper body, arms and
wrist strength.
2.
Aerobic Conditioning – by bicycling, jogging or
swimming
long distances to improve your endurance in
order to play
20
shifts in a full game without tiring.
3.
Anaerobic Conditioning – by running short
distance sprints
followed
by 1 minute of walking to recover, then sprint
again.
To improve your
breakaway, forechecking and backchecking
speed, and to complete
your 45 second shift without tiring.
4.
Mental Conditioning – how to read and react to
different
hockey situations. Read
“Hockey Made Easy” prior to your
tryout
camp and during the season to learn new skills and
maintain your
competitive Mental edge over your opponents.
