Today is the official release date of my book Total Hockey Training. I can’t believe that today is actually here. The reality is that there were several days when I thought that this wasn’t going to happen. Whether it was self-doubt or I didn’t feel that I had enough time to hit certain deadlines, […]
A recent email exchange with some parents and coaches from a youth team that I worked with in the past inspired me to write this.

I wanted to share a post that was written by my friend/mentor Mike Boyle on his blog StrengthCoachblog.com. Mike has been posting really good content in regards to his thoughts against year-round specialization in youth sports. I think it’s important to help spread the message all over North America- including here in Southern California. It […]

I hope everyone is doing great! As we enter October, hockey season is in pre-season mode or in some cases; in-season mode is already taking place. Either way, you got to love this time of year. Here at HockeySC.com, we have had some really good content updates since my last post: Articles: Shoulder Medial Rotation […]
