20″ Wobble Board for Improved Hockey Balance

20″ Wobble Board for Improved Hockey Balance

Off-ice Training, Skills, Strength
Use the 20" Wobble Board to Improve your Hockey Balance and Coordination! I recently had the chance to test out a number of new products from HockeyShot's balance line. I'm a big believer that developing balance and coordination off the ice can lead to improved performance on the ice. The first product I tested out was the 20" Wobble Board, as shown in the video above. Construction: The platform of this Wobble Board is made of birch wood with a slip-resistant top. The birch wood gives it a nice feel, while still maintaining it's durability. "Feel" is an important feature with balance products. I've used plastic wobble boards in the past that don't hold a candle to this one, mainly because of the feel. The spherical base is made of…

Use these Dryland Training Kits from HockeyShot to set up Structured, Well-Organized Dryland Sessions with your Team! I recently had the opportunity to do a detailed review on HockeyShot's Dryland Training Kits. So I took my boy Tyler down to the tennis courts to have a workout and make some videos. We had a great workout, and had a blast putting these videos together. These kits are available in three different sets; the Starter Kit, Premium, and Premium Plus. I reviewed the Starter Kit, and was impressed with how much equipment it came with, even for the lowest-priced option! All three kits are fantastic. The main difference it that the Premium and Premium Plus kits come with more equipment (Speed Chutes & Plyo Hurdles) In this post, I'm including 6…

Well... It's that time of year again! Hockey season is winding down, and it's time to start strategizing your off-season. The off-season can be a time to make HUGE gains with respect to your Speed, Strength, and Size! So, to kick it all off, I've put together a 3-part mini-series on off-ice training for hockey.

The S3 Formula In-Season Program is now available... Here's a sneak peak inside!! Here is a new video giving you a "sneak peak" inside the S3 Formula members' area. Incase I haven't made it clear enough, using the S3 Formula gives you a HUGE advantage over your opponent. Here's a little experiment to try... Next time you're in the locker room, ask your players to raise their hands if they work out on their own at least once per week, now ask them to keep their hands raised if they work out twice or more per week. Surprised..? On average, most teams only have 1-2 players who make it to the weight room with ANY form of consistency... let alone executing a true SCIENCE-BASED, HOCKEY-SPECIFIC, strength and conditioning program! If…
