Let's talk about something VERY important today.

How much can off-ice training REALLY help you?

If you lift to get stronger and faster, you'll go from third-liner on your team to TOP3 player in the entire league.

Welcome, D1 scholarships.

And pro scouts will be beating a path to your door.

That is, if you believed all the hype surrounding "sports performance training" out there.

Bunch. Of. Bollocks.

Talent and your sports skills play a HUGE part in achieving athletic success.

Those are waaaayyy more important than your squat max or 40-yard sprint time.

How do I know this?

I've been around enough athletes to realize that plenty of guys make it to the top in spite of their training, not because of it.

Just the other day, I was coaching a few of my guys at a public gym where multiple Finnish NHL players train.

Not gonna throw out any names here, but let's just say you'd recognize these players if I did. A few TOP 10 Draft picks and some older guys.

My high school guys would wipe the floor with these NHL players.

I'm talking about 17- and 18-year-olds front squatting 300+ pounds and deadlifting 400+ pounds within a year of starting training with me.

Those are decent numbers for a pro hockey player, let alone someone who can't legally drink ​strong liquor over here.

By the way, I don't tell this to impress you. I'm telling this to impress upon you how big of a jump you can make in your strength levels in a relatively short time frame under quality programming and coaching, and if you aren't experiencing results like these, your training is far from optimal.

However, improved physical qualities don't automatically translate into better performance on the ice.

No matter how strong or powerful I make you in the weight room, if you lack vision, hockey IQ, puck-handling skills, and the ability to read plays before they occur, the best you can ever hope to become is a mediocre player.

Not completely rubbish. But not a star player, either.

Yeah, I realize I'm probably shooting myself in the foot with statements like that here.

After all, I do have several off-ice training products for sale.

But it would be unethical if I didn't disclose this information to you.

And I'll never take the "guru" route where I profit from selling you a dream that ain't happenin'.

Anyway, use this info for your own benefit.

Or not.

Up to you.
