Speed kills. Pairing Sled March with Timed 10’s for some contrast work with UNH Women's Hockey as part of our continual pursuit of developing more powerful/faster athletes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNeiicNnV4g

Racehorses not Workhorses

January 30, 2019Craig Edwards Leave a comment

🗣 Racehorses not workhorses. This will offend most coaches but it’s a fact. Horses that plow a field all day can’t win a race. Too many coaches take thoroughbreds and force them to plow fields. If you want a fast team (and who doesn’t ❓), treat all your horses like race horses. Train them for … Continue reading Racehorses not Workhorses

Monday Musings

January 28, 2019Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Happy Monday! Here are a few thoughts bouncing around in my head after a week of reading, podcasts and other continuing ed. Enjoy! In-season I have a hard time understanding why team lifts last any longer then 45 minutes, especially if you are getting a group after practice. If the team is coming in warmed … Continue reading Monday Musings

Weekend Week in Review

January 27, 2019January 27, 2019Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Another week, another group of podcasts and articles to read and listen to that I have dived into. Like every other week, there was a ton of content out there both in written form and through podcasts. For podcasts, I really enjoyed listening to Reg Park on the Leave Your Mark podcast, who is currently … Continue reading Weekend Week in Review

1-Leg Medial/Lateral Hurdle Hop Progression

January 26, 2019April 3, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Our standard 1-Leg Medial/Lateral Hurdle Hop Progression that we use, the same progression I was taught in my time at Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning. Just like our Hurdle Jump Progression, our goal is to simply learn how the jump and land in proper positions, and then progressing from simple to more complex by adding … Continue reading 1-Leg Medial/Lateral Hurdle Hop Progression

Random Thoughts – January Edition

January 25, 2019Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Another month, another post full of random thoughts that have been going through my head. Hope it sparks a little thought in people and you enjoy! We as a profession need to do a better job of building the profession, of being respected strength coaches and not the idiots that are loud and have athletes … Continue reading Random Thoughts – January Edition

Unbalanced Lower Body Strength Work with Hockey?

January 24, 2019Craig Edwards Leave a comment

🗣 This is pretty straight forward ➡️ hockey is a sport that is played in a constant hip flexed position. Because of that, in order to do everything you can to keep hips healthy, I think it’s critical to train hip extension often in-season. This year we’ve taken things a but further and been adding … Continue reading Unbalanced Lower Body Strength Work with Hockey?

Anti-Extension Progression

January 23, 2019April 5, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment

What’s the most important roll of the core? Probably the ability of the core to prevent extension of the lumbar spine, not matter if we’re talking sport performance, your a weekend warrior, or you just want to feel strong and healthy. We’ll usually train anti-extension twice a week. Once will be through a front Plank … Continue reading Anti-Extension Progression

No Barbell Benching with Hockey?

January 22, 2019April 7, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Probably one of the big things we do differently then other hockey programs ➡️ we don’t bench press with a barbell in-season nor did we bench press with a barbell much this off-season. The last year we have done very little barbell benching. Why❓ In my opinion most hockey players don’t have the best posture … Continue reading No Barbell Benching with Hockey?
