What's the biggest secret for improving your performance as a hockey player?

Better athletes make better hockey players.

Wait, I know what you're thinking. And, yes, on the surface, it doesn't sound like much.

But, when you start to peel it back and look inside, it means a lot more than you might think.

The best hockey players are the most developed athletes.

Being a better athlete requires addressing athletic fundamentals in your training, and its best to do it consistently. Going to the gym and just hitting the weights can make you strong, but doesn't mean you will move well, and especially doesn't mean it will transfer to what you do on the ice.

Training as an athlete requires training for speed, agility, quickness, acceleration, mobility, flexibility, coordination, balance, strength, power, specific conditioning, AND tightening up your nutrition, sleep habits, and utilizing recovery strategies.

I know, it sounds like a lot, but when you're working with a professional performance coach, you should expect to have all of this in your training.

The best hockey players developed these athletic abilities at a high level by following a plan and consistently putting in the effort and work needed to achieve results in that plan.

To put it simply, we mean that in order to perform at elite levels, you need to not only have the right coaches, you need to be in the right system, have the right mindset and goals, and then work your butt off on your road to success.

Find coaches who have mastered the art and science of developing top level ice hockey players, and elite level athletes.

Find coaches and a training system that focuses on teaching you and giving you the tools to be your best, when it matters the most.

Here at Finish First Sports Performance, we have trained 1000s of elite ice hockey players and professional athletes in other sports,

And, we often see athletes just like you

Making 3 major mistakes when it comes to getting better at your sport:

1. You don't know where you are because you've never been properly assessed or screened. No matter your goals, you cannot create a roadmap if you don't know where you are.
2. You focus on getting stronger and trying to fix everything through strength, but you don't address any of the other performance areas, AND you don't get enough sleep, eat correctly for your goals, or know how all of the pieces fit together - this will NEVER correct the issues you are having.
3. You don't follow a consistent, specifically programmed plan designed for you to address the exact issues that are holding you back.

And - we totally get it.

There is so much information out there and it's hard to know where to begin, what to do, what not to do or what really matters...

We save you the time and hassle of having to spend thousands of hours, insane amounts of money, and the frustration when most of what you're doing doesn't even work. We provide you the 'cheat codes' in our highly successful complete training system...

Why use our Ice Hockey Speed & Strength training programs?

DECREASE YOUR RISK OF INJURY - play ice hockey longer and stay or get pain free, and train the movements (pre-habilitation) that have the biggest impact on reducing injury risk
INCREASE YOUR POWER - shoot harder with more consistency with the same or less effort
INCREASE YOUR STRENGTH - put more force and stability in each shot, hit harder, skate faster AND be a more formidable opponent
IMPROVE YOUR ACCELERATION - improve your speed and power in your first few pushes to give yourself more separation and help create space for shooting, or if you are a defender, this will help you mirror and frustrate your opponent
IMPROVE YOUR TOP END SPEED - reach a higher top speed and make it harder for anyone to catch up. Coaches notice speed - be the fastest on the ice.
IMPROVE YOUR QUICKNESS - foot speed is crucial for on ice movement and/or matching up with an opponent, and having fast hands is critical in puck possession/movement
INCREASE YOUR ENDURANCE & STAMINA - maintain power, strength and stability through the entire game, series, and tournament weekend - play at your highest intensity and best ability without slowing down or fading off

What is a FREE Coaching Call?

First of all, please understand that this is not a sales call. While we understand that our business does not exist without clients to train, we also have a specific type of client that will be a fit in our programs and will not train clients that do not meet our criteria.

In your FREE Coaching Call, we will help you determine where you are in regards to your training, fitness, motivation and discipline and determine what goals you have and will be working towards.

We will explain the process, and what we offer, and determine if what we offer is the right fit to help you reach your goals. If we do not offer what you need, we will help get you going in the right direction and help you get in contact with people or businesses that will be better suited to help you achieve your goals.

We want to help you find the best fit for you, to give you the greatest chance of succeeding.

Also during this call, we will provide some insight, tips and additional coaching information that may be useful to you on your journey. It is an opportunity to learn from one of our coaches, and help get you pointed in the right direction towards ultimate success.

It really is that simple. We want to help you.

And sometimes, helping you means that you will not be training with us.

We have been coaching and developing athletes for over 25 years and have found that there are athletes that 'TALK', and athletes that 'DO.'

We want the do-ers.

We want people who take action.

Having most of the following criteria significantly increases your chances of having success working with us, or working with any performance coach.

If any of this describes you:

I am coachable.
I have a passion for sports and desire to succeed and be the best version of myself.
I take ownership for my performance and do not blame others.
I am committed to following a plan and doing the work necessary to get the desired results.
I am disciplined in following the processes.
I love to compete.
I will stick to a schedule and structure routine.
I will not quit.

Then your mindset will give you a leg up over the other athletes 'trying' to get to the next level.

If you do not have those characteristics, and you're not willing to change to get them, then you are holding yourself back, and are not a good fit to work with us.

Change your mindset, and you will change your life.
