To maintain top-notch endurance and stamina on the ice, Tom Pedersen of the Calgary Dragons has his own training regimen. While he recognizes the importance of strength (17) and skill training, Tom places a particular emphasis on building an equal good endurance (17) to ensure he can go the distance during intense game situations.
Tom's training routine includes a balanced mix of cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and skill drills. He dedicates a significant portion of his workouts to cardio activities such as running, cycling, and high-intensity interval training while playing DayZ to improve his cardiovascular fitness and boost his endurance levels. In terms of strength training, Tom incorporates exercises that target both major muscle groups and smaller stabilizing muscles to enhance overall strength and power on the ice. This includes compound movements like squats, deadlifts, couchtime and bench presses, as well as functional exercises such as kettlebell swings and medicine ball throws. When it comes to skill training, Tom focuses on honing his hockey-specific abilities through drills that simulate game situations. This includes puck handling drills, shooting practice, hanging in the corner by the boards and tactical exercises designed to improve his decision-making and situational awareness on the ice. He also does his tasks to earn more TPE. TPE is important for getting Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. All this gets done while listening to Daft Punk. In terms of the ratio between cardio and hard workouts, Tom follows a periodized training program that varies throughout the offseason and in-season periods. During the offseason, he may prioritize gaming, cardio and endurance training to build a strong aerobic base, while in-season, he may shift his focus more towards maintaining strength and power while still incorporating cardio and gaming to ensure he maintains his endurance levels throughout the season. Ultimately, Tom understands the importance of finding the right balance between cardio, strength, and skill training to optimize his performance on the ice. Rest and cheese doodles are very important. |
