Too many think strength training is like cramming while studying for a test
That’s not what development is
This isn’t for a month before tryouts to “tune up.”
You don’t do this for a few weeks in preparation for a tryout
It’s a consistent, month in & month out process

"We tell pitchers not to throw a curveball when they’re 12 or 13. We don’t have that conversation with our goalies because we want saves and wins.”
Why are goalie injuries out of control right now, and how can we fix the problem?

The notion that youth shouldn’t lift “heavy” weights is misguided. Heavy is relative. Heavy for me might be light for you. The “no heavy weights” crowd are usually the ones who make 12-year-olds do 50 push ups after a practice drill when 1 push up is “too heavy” to be done well

I spent 37 years on this planet before I needed help with my mental health. An entire pro career - no problems. But by April of last year the anxiety had become too much. I called my doctor and he got me back on track. You're never too old or proud to talk.

What a great day. Awesome workout with best in the biz @DexshowHp , great lessons with my athletes, Canucks re-sign Petey and Hughes and get to take my daughter out for a spin in this little beauty. Gotta love early fall.

I say this because I truly worry we are taking the fun out of sport. Making machines. Taking away individualism and denying children the opportunity to become well rounded humans. Not just athletes. There is so much more to life than hockey.

Today's #PieceofHistory is a #gameworn 2010-11 #NashvillePredators Third Set 1 jersey utilized by Mark Dekanich @dexshow.
While wearing it, he made his #NHLdebut on 12/18/2010, the only #NHL game of his career. He stopped 22 of 25 shots in Nashville's 6-1 loss to Los Angeles.

I wrote a 2 part article on how I periodize and progress plyos safely and effectively. Part I is here: dexshowhighperformance.com/b…

My hockey athletes are coming back & I’m about to hear the stories of all their peers getting sore backs & Jumper’s Knee from the “sport-specific” training they’re doing. Endless jumps/running is just poorly done conditioning. Plyos need to be periodized & progressed for POWER.

Shohei can throw 100, hit bombs & steal bases but you’re worried about a 12 year old getting “too bulky,” to throw a ball

If you’re a strength coach then there’s a GREAT chance you’ve had these conversations
Getting told what to do by a sport coach with no respect or professionalism! Thought I’d have some fun with it 😂

Many teams goalie shopping, perhaps @dexshow comes out of retirement. My gawd, even @danvladar was in net for the @NHLBruins #getmypads
