As a ex-pro hockey player, I know how important in season hockey training is for long term success. But it can be hard to navigate when and what workouts to do to make sure you are staying in top shape but not feeling too fatigued when it comes time to play games. This programed is specifically crafted with the workouts that helped me preform my best in pro hockey and something that I wish I had when I was young. This workout program can be followed by all ages from youth hockey players to professional hockey players of all skill levels. This program can be repeated throughout the season to stay fresh and avoid falling off when playoffs come, but if you want more customized workouts reach out for 1:1 training to get even more attention to detail in your program, along with better access to me for tips for playing your best!

Keep your strength and Speed
Throughout the season, if you aren't training then you are falling behind. Your muscles are starting to breakdown and your going to become slower, weaker, and more susceptible to injuries. This program will help reduce the speed and strength over the season which will help reduce injuries.

Tired of Heavy Legs?
When you don't prepare the right way or don't prepare at all then you are most likely not going to feel 100% when it comes time to preform. This program will help avoid those issues and help you feel your best throughout the week and feel better prepared to when game days roll around.

Stop the stiff hips, knees, and ankles.
Early in my college career I struggled playing one game a weekend waking up the next day feeling like my whole body was shutting down, but later in my career after I learned how to prepare my body for the whole week and the day of games I was able to play 5 games in 5 days at Nationals and feel like I could keep going. While everyone else was complaining how sore they were, I was feeling ready!

Coach

While playing college hockey, Ryan received his Bachelor in Exercise Science, CSCS, and CPT and went on to play professional Hockey. He is now pursuing his Master's from FAU while training youth athletes. He grew up in South Florida playing hockey where he didn't have the resources that many others had when it came to off-ice training, which is why he wanted to become a trainer to give back.
