Phase 1 Hockey Off-Season
Ricco Fitness
HockeyThe Hockey Performance Program will broaden your abilities on the ice and will transform you to a more powerful, agile and skillful hockey player. This program was created to enable players to achieve their FULL POTENTIAL. It consists of 3 phases that build upon each other.
This is Phase 1
Starting with a basic strength and conditioning phase, in phase 1 we will build a base of movement capabilities, mobility, strength capacity and focus a lot on eccentrics and isometrics.
Phase 2 will be a power and anerobic conditioning phase, with a focus mostly on concentric movement and moving weights faster or with higher effort. Overall volume will be a little less in this phase, but we keep building a deep anaerobic base.
In Phase 3 we will work on speed development, moving light and relatively heavy weights as fast as possible. We will concentrate on agility, plyo work and sport specific conditioning in order to transfer well onto the ice.
Go be better than before.
