In this video, I discuss how different playing positions in sports, specifically in hockey, have varying conditioning requirements. I explain how forwards, defenders, and midfielders have different running demands and how their conditioning sessions should be tailored accordingly. I provide examples of conditioning sessions for each playing position and emphasize the importance of considering factors such as speed, endurance, and aerobic capacity. By understanding the specific conditioning needs of your playing position, you can optimize your training and improve your performance on the field.

In this episode, I discuss the three P's of speed: position, pattern, and power. I explain how having the right positions is crucial for executing high-speed movements effectively. I also delve into the importance of patterning, which involves piecing together different positions into a cohesive movement pattern. Lastly, I explore the power component, which involves sprinting at maximum speed to improve overall velocity. I provide practical examples and drills for each component, and I recommend incorporating speed work into warm-up routines for consistent improvement. If you're looking to enhance your speed in any sport, this framework will provide you with valuable insights and strategies.

In this episode, I explain 3 key problems when it comes to 'footwork' drills for hockey players!

Footwork exercises are often performed with the view that they will make players quickly.

In this episode, I explain why this is flawed thinking, and how you can actually improve your agility!

Hey guys, Henry here! In today's video, I wanted to share a template speed session that you can use to improve your hockey performance. I'll break down the session into four key components: movement prep, technical prep, free sprints, and cool down. During the movement prep, we'll focus on warming up the body and improving range of motion. In the technical prep, we'll work on sprint-specific movement patterns and technique. The free sprints are where we sprint maximally, aiming for a threshold intensity above 90%. Finally, we'll end with a proper cool down to support recovery. The recommended volume for a speed session is between 150 to 300 meters. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

In this episode, I discuss the importance of strength and conditioning for youth hockey players.

I cover key principles such as the frequency and types of exercises, load parameters, technique, tissue capacity, fundamental movement patterns, and mobility.

By focusing on these principles, we can lay the foundation for injury prevention and optimal performance.

I also emphasize the need to prioritize technique over load and the importance of developing tissue capacity before heavy strength training. Watch this video to learn how to train effectively and safely as a youth hockey player.

In this video, I'm going to talk about lower back injury prevention for field hockey. Lower back injuries are one of the most common injuries in the sport and can take players out of the game for a long time. In this video, I'll explain why lower back injuries are so prevalent in field hockey and what you can do to prevent them. We'll look at three solutions: improving lumbo-sacral and hip range of motion, increasing trunk strength and capacity, and strengthening the posterior chain. I'll provide examples of exercises you can do to achieve these goals and recommend doing them at least twice a week. By following these exercises, you'll be able to reduce the risk of lower back injury and stay in the game for longer.
