  • Complete Conditioning for Hockey book
  • Online continuing education exam
Hockey players are stronger, quicker, and more agile than ever before. To compete and win in today’s game requires superior stamina and strength. Complete Conditioning for Hockey offers a year-round training plan to build stamina and strength in your clients. Author Ryan van Asten, one of the game’s leading strength and conditioning coaches, shares the same approach he’s used with top athletes and teams at the professional and national levels—including NHL Stanley Cup winners, Canada’s Olympic gold medal–winning women’s hockey team, and multiple world championship teams. Complete Conditioning for Hockey covers every aspect of physical preparation, including these:
  • Movement optimization
  • Endurance and stamina
  • Functional strength and power
  • Acceleration and speed
  • Change of direction and reactivity
  • Recovery and injury risk reduction
Throughout, you’ll find more than 145 exercises, each with progressions and variations, to optimize training and continue your clients’ development season after season. The position-specific guidelines will help to personalize training, and the specific information and exercises for the off-season, preseason, in-season, and postseason will ensure optimal peaking and recovery.

Complete Conditioning for Hockey also features a detailed analysis of player movement and conditioning needs, taking the process of physical preparation for hockey to a whole new level. After reading the book, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.
