The Importance of Depth for an Efficient Skating Stride

September 15, 2019June 15, 2020Craig Edwards 1 Comment

Improving on ice speed has many factors, but improving technique is one of the easiest fixes that can yield huge and immediate results. The more hockey I watch the more obvious it is that many players stand up too tall when they skate. Adopting a deeper skating stance will allow the skater to create a … Continue reading The Importance of Depth for an Efficient Skating Stride

Our General Warm Up Template

June 16, 2017Craig Edwards Leave a comment

It isn’t too often that I hear much when it comes to warming up. There is plenty of talk when it comes to Olympic lifting, strength training and some talk as it pertains to conditioning. But not so much when it comes to warming up. However, we put a lot of thought into our warm … Continue reading Our General Warm Up Template

Goals of the Ice Hockey Off-Season

May 19, 2017Craig Edwards Leave a comment

It could be said, and rightly so, that hockey players are made in the off-season. The success that a player has during the season can in many cases be traced back to the work they put in as the season ended in the spring and the long summer months leading into the fall pre-season. Whether … Continue reading Goals of the Ice Hockey Off-Season

Step One When Fixing the Squat

August 16, 2016Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Anyone who has worked with athletes knows that it is not uncommon to see the inability to simply bodyweight squat to parallel with proper form. We could argue over what the issue is. Lack of ankle mobility? Lack of hip mobility? Lack of core stability? Could be one, all, or a combination of the three. … Continue reading Step One When Fixing the Squat

The Importance of In-Season Training

May 3, 2016Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Anyone that has spent a day as a strength and conditioning coach knows very well that in-season training is not high on the list of things to do for both athletes and sport coaches. In-season the strength coach becomes the dentist, someone that no one wants to go see. In-season athletes seem to always be … Continue reading The Importance of In-Season Training

Better Tissue Quality, Better You

February 22, 2015Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Every time that I walk into a commercial gym I am amazed at what I don’t see. I rarely, if ever, see any type of dynamic warm up which I thought was an aspect of strength and conditioning had worked its way into programs of weekend warriors. I hate to break it to you, but … Continue reading Better Tissue Quality, Better You

Overhead Athletes and Pressing

February 11, 2015Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Okay, I'm going to open a big can of worms with this one, and you may think I am crazy, but I don't know if an overhead athlete (baseball/softball/swimmers ect.) should be allowed to press with a barbell, whether it be overhead pressing or bench pressing. The more and more I think about it, I'm … Continue reading Overhead Athletes and Pressing

Reconstructing the Desk Jockey

January 27, 2015Craig Edwards Leave a comment

These days it seems like people are spending more and more time sitting, whether it be behind a desk, watching television, driving in the car, or in other ways. With that said, we see the same mobility issues showing up over and over again. What are these issues? Terrible t-spine rotation and locked up hips. … Continue reading Reconstructing the Desk Jockey

Simple Recovery Strategies

March 13, 2014Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Anyone that trains hard and often will preach to you about how important recovery is from session to session. As fun as it is to beat yourself up each day in the weight room or on the field, you need to do something to turn the ship around for the next days workout, practice, or … Continue reading Simple Recovery Strategies

Training Qualities to Enhance Sport Specific Movements

January 10, 2014Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Just wanted to share with everyone a great presentation by Chris Chase of the University of Southern California. I agreed with a ton of what Coach Chase was talking about in his presentation and have very similar thoughts and a very similar philosophy as Coach Chase when it comes to training athletes. Enjoy!
