Book Description
This book was written for both hockey player and coach. Hockey has been a passion of mine since early childhood. I was born and raised in Canada and relocated to the United States in 1990. Hockey has been the fabric of our family tree. From youth hockey to having the opportunity to play at the minor professional level, I have enjoyed this great game and the life lessons it has instilled along the way. It was during my career in university where coaching became a passion. I loved the weight room, the preparation, and the process. It was, and still is, a place of solace for me—a classroom. My love for strength and conditioning was born in the sweaty confines of the Miami (OH) strength and conditioning facility located in Oxford, Ohio, and run by then strength and conditioning coach Dan Dalrymple. Coach D instilled pride, work ethic, and belief in his athletes. Our two-thousand-square foot weight room was a place of preparation, competition, and embodied the team-first spirit. At that instant, I knew my calling was to serve as a coach. I owe much gratitude and appreciation to Coach D. He was a mentor to me! Thanks, Coach, your imprint has left an indelible mark.

The Gain, Go, Grow Manual

Languages : en
Pages : 166

Book Description
Physical Preparation for Ice Hockey was published in December of 2016 as a general programming guide for players and coaches alike working with the hockey playing population. The goal was to explain the "why" behind our process; the same process we use to train hockey players at Donskov Strength and Conditioning. With time comes change, and although Physical Preparation for Ice Hockey set out to explain the X's and O's of programming, several items were not covered in the original book. Most notably, the means, methods and current model we implement to train our high caliber hockey players. The goal of Physical Preparation for Ice Hockey II: The Gain, Go Grow Manual is to expand upon the first book and provide the reader with a unique insight into our current thought process for training high caliber hockey players. This book investigates critical thinking, the why behind program design, becoming a neo-generalist, creating a failure filter, navigating complex environments, maximizing adaptational gains, and the practical application of the Gain, Go, Grow model used to train high caliber hockey players. This manual is a culmination of my experiences as a practitioner for the last 15 years. It serves as a temporary hypothesis; a manual for the coach to aid in designing the appropriate strength and conditioning protocol for high caliber hockey players and most importantly, the reasoning behind it.

Pages : 408

Book Description
This book provides an extensive guide for exercise and health professionals, students, scientists, sport coaches, athletes of various sports and those with a general interest in concurrent aerobic and strength training. Following a brief historical overview of the past decades of research on concurrent training, in section 1 the epigenetic as well as physiological and neuromuscular differences of aerobic and strength training are discussed. Thereafter, section 2 aims at providing an up-to-date analysis of existing explanations for the interference phenomenon, while in section 3 the training-methodological difficulties of combined aerobic and strength training are elucidated. In section 4 and 5, the theoretical considerations reviewed in previous sections will then be practically applied to specific populations, ranging from children and elderly to athletes of various sports. Concurrent Aerobic and Strength Training: Scientific Basics and Practical Applications is a novel book on one of the “hot topics” of exercise training. The Editors' highest priority is to make this book an easily understandable and at the same time scientifically supported guide for the daily practice.
