No junk food for 7 days in a row at any time in December.

 

This means no chips, chocolate bars, ice cream, soda, unhealthy fast food, etc.

 

 

Coach Dan could talk on this for hours, but junk food doesn't do any good for fueling our bodies to perform at top levels. It can have a negative effect on our on-ice performance and body composition (i.e. lead to unwanted body fat that will slow us down on the ice).

You can learn more about why quality food helps with hockey performance in his latest Hockey Science Unleashed video titled “Hockey Performance Food”.

Of course, junk food is fine at times but the hope is that this challenge will help you discover more healthy foods that you can use as snacks and show you how good your body can feel when eating “cleaner”!

A few days late as I've been busy with my house up for sale and Coach Dan is busy with the birth of his (first) daughter a couple of weeks ago!

But we're here and ready to crush November with you guys!

Two questions today to help you reflect on last month and set some goals for November:

1) What have you been doing a good job with lately within your hockey training?

2) What's one thing you need to work on or one goal you've got for November?

Let me know in the comments, and let's have an awesome month! 🙌 

The Challenge:

Complete at least 6 at-home stickhandling sessions during the month of November.

These can be follow along style routines from the Hockey Training TV app or just regular sessions from our programs (or even something you make up on your own).

How Will This Help Me?

Doing stickhandling work from home will help improve your hands and also work on your conditioning in the muscles used for handling the puck (forearms, shoulders, etc).

All-Star Level:

Complete at least 12 at-home stickhandling sessions during the month of November.

Make The Commitment:

Complete (at least) one of our Game Day Domination routines for 75%+ of your games (or tryouts/practices if you don't have games) during the month of September.

 

This includes our Stickhandling Prep, Edge Work Routines, or Game Day Domination Warm-Ups found in the new In-Season ‘21 Systems.

**If you don’t have access you can still participate by doing the following (or creating your own similar routines):

 

Stickhandling Prep
Edge Work Primer
Pre-Game Warm-Up 

 

 

Prepping your body before you hit the ice is almost like a “cheat code” that will allow you to step up your ability in an immediate sense giving you an extra pep-in-your-step for your game. While other players take a few minutes to “wake up” and get a feel for the puck, you’ll be flying around on the ice.

 

 

Complete (at least) one of our Game Day Domination routines for 100% of your games during the month of September!
