MIXING it UP
It never ceases to amaze me how many junior hockey players have played the game and only hockey from a very young age. Few approaches could be more limiting than this. Expand your horizons and develop a more complete young player.
ELASTICITY FOR SPEED - part II
Muscle elasticity plays a critical role in enhancing both muscular power output and sprint speed. Here we delve into the importance of dynamic flexibility, plyometrics, sprint technique, and strength training to develop and maintain optimal muscle elasticity. Photo Sports Performance Bulletin
ELASTICITY for SPEED - part I
In a 2 part series we examine the hows and whys of increasing tendon elasticity through improved flexibility, circulation, eccentric loading, and neuromuscular control. We apply this to a program to achieve more efficient running mechanics, allowing you to store and utilize elastic energy effectively and potentially improving running speed.
