Twist's Smart Muscle Training paradigm focuses on developing balance, movement, strength and energetics to help build BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER and SMARTER muscles. This unique dryland and on-ice hockey development system is built on training the secondary fitness characteristics that directly transfer to hockey skills and tactics.
Core elements of the Hockey Dryland and On-Ice Training System include:
Balance and Posture
= Skating mechanics, low and long stride, edge control
Deceleration and Acceleration
= First Step quickness, stopping ability, change of speed
Explosive Speed
= Top-end speed, stride power
Multi-Directional Movement Skills
= Efficiency of the tight turn, pivot, x-over, stop and start
Reactivity
= Offensive creativity and defensive reactivity
Linked System Strength and Power
= Strength on and off puck
Rotary Power
= Shooting and pivoting power
Anaerobic Energetics
= Hockey specific conditioning
Closed Kinetic Chain Core Strength
= Strong on skates
Recovery / Regeneration
= Flexibility, joint mobility, myo-facial release
Twist Conditioning's hockey camps have a long standing reputation based not only on developing hockey players, but also fostering constructive team members and strong, confident leaders. Our dryland curriculum is well known for implementing newly created exercises that upgrade the conditioning results. On-ice, players set themselves up to stand apart from their competition through innovative on-ice drills that blend speed, agility and quickness with hockey skills and tactics, transferring the greatest results to game action.
But we take equal pride in our ability to foster leadership skills, commitment, work ethic, respect, attitude and other traits that teach players to make the ‘intangible' contributions to their team. These traits become habits and fuel daily efforts toward individual improvement and are needed to succeed in hockey and life. They are also highly transferable to other environments – school, work and community.
We respect both the time and financial commitment to receive specialized coaching to attack one's goal, and we respect each player and how passionate they are about their goals. Twist Conditioning exists to help them succeed. We not only take it seriously, we take it to heart!
