What Does Consistent Training Require?
Share
1. A Clear Plan
Know exactly what you’re building – whether it’s strength, explosiveness, conditioning, mobility, or on-ice skill.
2. Weekly Structure
You don’t have to do everything every day, but each day must have intent. Training blocks should support each other with progression in mind.
3. Tracking & Feedback
You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Use training logs, testing benchmarks, and self-awareness to guide decisions.
4. Sustainable Motivation
Training shouldn’t be a chore – it should be part of your identity.
Pros train with purpose, not out of obligation.
Don’t Hit Reset Every Summer
Too many players fully switch off in spring, start slow in the summer, and try to ramp up in August.
That’s a losing strategy.
Professionals use the summer to level up – not catch up. They show up to camp stronger, faster, sharper, and more confident, already skating at a high level.
Bottom Line
Consistent off-season training isn’t just about effort – it’s an investment.
It’s what separates players who hope to improve from those who actually do.
Stay intentional. Stay committed.
The work you put in when no one’s watching defines how you perform when everyone is.
