Hockey Training

· Hockey players can train specifically the way they play the game – wearing their skates!

· Over 500,000 athletes have already used Athletic Republic programs worldwide, with proven results.

· Millions of dollars have been poured into research and development for this program to guarantee the most scientifically sound and results-oriented training possible.

· With the use of the Skating Treadmill and video analysis, the training center staff can analyze a skater's mechanics and correct general skating flaws.

· Unique benefits of the Hockey Program include:

- Maximize skating power

- Optimizing the skater’s body awareness

- Dynamic sprint speed improvement

- Overall conditioning

- Specific training to the lower abdomen and groin regions

- Improved body composition

· Most programs are geared toward training three days a week to maximize the effectiveness of the coaching and training protocols.

· Programs details are described on the reverse side.

· This is individualized sports performance training using the best trainers, equipment, facilities and protocols available anywhere. There can be up to five people training/hour but only one athlete works at a time.

· In a typical program, two days per week are on the Hockey Treadmill working on skating power and mechanics using short, intense skating sprints between 4 and 30 sec. The third training day of the week focuses on plyometrics, power, and quickness. We use scientifically proven plyometric drills to enhance starting, stopping, and change of direction to give the athlete optimal quickness.

· We are able to teach proper skating mechanics in a unique way that will help the athletes for the rest of their life. The speed development is done on our inclined treadmill where the athletes perform short bouts of exercise that replicate the energy requirements of sport. Our experienced coaches are able to correct the athletes form easily because we are able to see all angles of the athlete and give immediate corrective feedback.

· Scheduling is flexible; you pick your days and times. Optimally, you want a day between sessions to fully recover from training. It is best to schedule in advanced to make sure you get the days and times you want. For the 10 and 20 session programs, there is a 10 week limit to finish your program which allows extra time in case of illness, vacations, etc.

· Sessions last about 1 ½ hours including the strength training workout. Strength training programs are developed for each athlete after the Pre Evaluation, and are given to the athlete as “homework”. Athletes are personally walked through their first two days of weight training and are thereafter supervised from a distance and guided by our Electric Coach software system. Trainers are always available for questions and feedback. The strength training program is FREE – it is a complimentary addition to the program.

In the game of hockey,

skating is everything!

Testimonials

I wanted to send you a note regarding your performance training program for children. I have to first admit to you that I was very skeptical about the program. I have been in the healthcare field for over 25 years. Being a Family Nurse Practitioner, I did not think that it would be good for younger athletics to be training on tread mills and with weights. I spoke with you and some of your trainers and reviewed the program and decided to try the program for my daughter who is 11 years old. Her soccer coach had mentioned that she needed to increase her speed to the ball. I was also from the old school thinking that you were either born with speed or you didn't have it.

I have watched my daughter do the training and have seen the results. I am absolutely without a doubt sold on the program. My daughter has increased her speed and endurance. I have watched her ability to run across the soccer field and catch an opponent, where in the past she was not able to succeed. The trainers make it fun and she likes coming and doing the training. All the trainers have been very good; however I would specifically like to mention Adam who they absolutely adore. My daughter has requested to sign up for another session. My son who is 14 years old has watched his younger sister train and was interested in trying the program. He has done about four sessions and I can see his running style improving also.Â I just wanted you to know how very pleased my children and I are with your program. Keep up the excellent work.
