Training in the off season is the most important part of a player’s progression because it allows for them to work more on strength and stamina training, as during the season they must focus on performing and playing in many games. My player focuses on lower body strength, especially for this sport of hockey, where quick movements, agility, and explosive power are vital. Goalkeepers, for example, need strong legs for jumping, diving, and maintaining balance when moving across the goal. Squats, lunges, and plyometric exercises (like box jumps) are typically incorporated to build leg power and stability. In addition to lower body strength training, my player will also engage in a few different mental toughness trainings such as resilience (focus) and mindfulness activities. Which could be mentally rehearse scenarios they might encounter on the ice. For wingers, this could mean visualizing a wide open game winning goal that needs to be scored.
