Personalized Training at Build Your Game means that parents and players can be sure that I will personally be in charge of every workout, delivering professional, quality hockey training.
OFF THE ICE
Small Group Training ensures that every player receives lots of attention from me and gets lots of repetition to help them master all of the skills and techniques I teach. Players can easily hear what I’m saying, see what I’m demonstrating, and I’m able to keep a constant eye on their technique.
Build Your Game’s Innovative Shooting and Stickhandling curriculum helps bridge the gap between off-ice training and on-ice performance. Often times, players will practice stickhandling and shooting techniques off the ice that simply can’t be duplicated when on the ice. My program teaches players how to avoid those pitfalls even when they’re practicing at home or in their own rink’s off-ice training room.
Inter-disciplinary Strength and Conditioning keeps things fun and fresh for the older players (aged 15+) throughout the training program. It’s important to be a well-rounded athlete, which is why I draw upon a variety of sports, disciplines, and training techniques such as:
• Slideboard Workouts
• Boxing/MMA Training
• Sledgehammer Workouts
• Yoga/Flexibility Training
• Breakdancing
• Weight Training
• Stability Ball Training
• Full Body Plyometrics
• Core Training
ON THE ICE
Technique Drills isolate skills and techniques that we’ve been working on off the ice so that players can get comfortable performing them on the ice. I utilize technique drills to practice skating, passing, shooting, and decision-making. Sometimes all in one drill!
Skill-Based Games help keep things fun and engaging for players. They allow players to be competitive as they practice applying their skills and techniques. Competition, in turn, helps build endurance as players try their hardest to win.
Scrimmaging has always been and always will be the most direct way for a player to build their decision making skills and overall hockey sense. The focus of our scrimmaging is always on creativity and applying the skills and techniques we’ve practiced in game situations. Players can build confidence being the kind of player they really want to be without the pressure of “filling their role” or “following team systems”.
