Kevin Neeld is the Head Performance Coach for the Boston Bruins, where he oversees all aspects of designing and implementing the team’s performance training program, as well as monitoring the players’ performance, workload and recovery.

Prior to his time in Boston, Kevin spent 2 years as an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for the San Jose Sharks after serving as the director of a private sports performance facility in New Jersey for 7 years, working with pro, college, junior and elite level youth hockey players. He also served as a strength and conditioning coach with the U.S. Women’s Olympic Ice Hockey Team for 5 years.

This episode is chock-full of great information, as we break down topics like movement variability, how to train the brakes and build better deceleration, and what he’s learned working in professional sports for the past 7 years.

I think of movement variability in two buckets: There’s micro-movement variability on the individual joint level, and macro-movement variability which is more the global movement patterns and movement sequencing.  – Kevin Neeld
