Last week, we headed north to help run the S&C at the Billingham Junior Stars Summer Camp! Thanks to everyone at Billingham IHC for your hospitality. It was so great to meet the many people around the club that care so much about helping the young players. Until next time! 💪

I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to affiliate with a brand as established as Optimum Nutrition. I'm hoping we can utilise this link to help lots of british hockey players access the appropriate supplementation to suit their individual and sporting needs.

It's finally here... Welcome to the Train Hockey Smart HQ! #trainhockeysmart

Off-Season Training Programs 2024 for Ice Hockey Players- -Working Athlete Off-Season -Complete Off-Season Lifting -THS Athletic Hypertrophy -Train with Rupe They go live next week. Stay tuned.

The Train Hockey Smart Academy boys put in a shift tonight. These guys are going to come back like different animals next season. Watch this space. #trainhockeysmart

In 6-8 weeks, we have 9-10 year old THS Academy athletes that can: Trap Bar DL >1.6xBW for reps ATG Goblet Squat >0.5xBW for reps Sled Push >2xBW Just think where they will be at 14-16 with a training age of over 5 years? Youth S&C is awesome. #trainhockeysmart

Swindon Wildcats x Train Hockey Smart --- We're excited to be working with The Bespoke Guardians Swindon Wildcats to provide off-season S&C resources to the club and the players. It's great to see NIHL clubs helping their players get better during the off-season. #trainhockeysmart

More of this, please! Off-Season training is incredibly important and a resource that every NIHL & EIHL team should be emphasizing!!

Leeds Knights x Train Hockey Smart --- We are excited to work with @leedsknights to provide off-season S&C resources to the club/players. Since their inception, the drive to win and continuously improve is obvious. We are excited to now be a part of that process.

Upper Body Strength for Ice Hockey | by TRUE Hockey — Strong athletes are more robust. Ensuring good levels of strength will help reduce injury risk in contact sports. The Neutral Grip Pull Up is an awesome tool for shoulder health! THS Strength Standard: Goal: 10-Reps

What's more harmful for our elite junior ice hockey players? A. 10-12 year old players lifting weights, before contact hockey starts. B. Start lifting weights at 16 (UK norm), the same time they start playing against men (full contact). Thoughts?

Today, my hockey athlete Josh pulled a 163kg (360lbs) Trap Bar DL, he weighs 66kg (2.46xBW). He's 15, so can't train at most UK gyms until March 2025 because it's "unsafe". By lifting since he was 13, he's likely stronger than most PTs at the gyms he's not allowed into.

CALLING YOUTH ATHLETES IN BRACKNELL --- We want to help local talented athletes access structured S&C. We believe youth should have the opportunity to physically prepare for sport. We work with athletes, clubs/teams and schools. If interested, get in touch. We will help!
