In this episode, we cover the 7 common training mistakes that are holding hockey players back from reaching their performance goals.
1. Bodybuilding Training Only: While beneficial for muscle mass and aesthetics, it doesn’t transfer well to on-pitch performance.
2. Lack of Strength Training: Essential for staying injury-free and maintaining performance throughout the season.
3. Neglecting Calf Work: Critical for ankle stability and injury prevention; include calf raises and plyometrics.
4. Not Tracking Loads: Without tracking, progress is unclear. Aim for loads at 70-80% of your 1RM.
5. Inconsistent Training: Consistency over time is key. Three sessions a week can be more beneficial long-term than short, intense bursts.
6. Insufficient Speed Work: Incorporate speed training in warm-ups to enhance performance and efficiency.
7. Poor Planning: Structure your training week, mesocycles, and annual plan to align with performance goals and competition schedules.
By avoiding these mistakes and following structured sport-specific training, you can optimize your performance on the pitch.

Your biggest blindspot is not completing assessments...
I hear it all the time.
Athletes who want to get back to sport, but don't know their numbers...
It's like driving a car without a dashboard.
Would you be surprised that your car ran out of fuel, or you didn't reach your destination?
It all starts with the numbers.
Once you know them, you can make informed decisions.
You can have a clear plan ahead.
This gives you confidence...
And absolute clarity.
Rather than guessing and hoping for the best.
'Hope is not a strategy' as the old saying goes.
So commit to getting clear on your numbers if you're serious about getting back to sport.
