Off-ice versus on-ice
The best curling athletes are in the gym training year-round.
This statement scares some coaches because their main priority—during the season—is to help their athletes perform well on the ice.
In this episode Coach Steph walks you through juggling on-ice and off-ice training without sacrificing time on the ice or setting your athletes up for injury and burnout.
Steph reveals three workout “themes” she uses to govern what she does in the gym (this can take place at a facility or an in-home setup) and explains their use with her athletes.
The In Season Training Guide (part of the Full Season Training Bundle) offers more specific advice and sample workouts for those who need more guidance in-season.
As usual, colorful images have been embedded in the media player file to enhance your podcast experience.
