Low-impact conditioning methods are preferable for hockey training. Goalies require different conditioning strategies than skaters. Speed work should be divided into acceleration, max velocity, and change of direction. Warm-ups should include mobility, activation, and neural activation components. Pregame lifting should focus on low volume to avoid fatigue. Individualized training is crucial for optimizing player performance.

Today is a treat for me, as I love when I can have our next guest, skating instructor extraordinaire Barry Karn on the show. He's one of our most popular guests here on the hockey journey podcast. After you're done with this episode, you can also check out numbers 12, 78 and 79 for a whole lot more of Barry Karn goodness. Recently, one of my other companies, Online Hockey Training started posting again , the Instagram, youtube and the facebook to mention a few after a good 2 year break. One category I like to highlight is the opposite hand training I have players work on and the benefits, but wanted a different, more catchy title, and then I remembered something Mr. Karn said; "disagreeable training!" I texted him, asking if he'd mind if I used the term, he proceeded to give me one of the longest texts I've ever received on disagreeable training and how it's such a critical ingredient in a kids childhood development. Right then and there, I said it's been too long, I don't know what the topic is going to be, but I need to get a little Barry Karn fix. So ladies and gentlemen, if you're ready to brave this trip with me here today, soon to be traveling through uncharted waters, well sit back, get comfy, settle in, put your tray table in it's upright and locked position, and get ready for a discussion on how one of the top skating instructor's in the world non traditionally teaches. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderfully productive day!

Episode Description

Welcome to Today's Episode! I'm excited to share with you the story of Jackie Pieper's incredible hockey journey today. It all started when a mom of one of the players I coach (who's a big fan of the podcast, by the way) suggested that Jackie would make an amazing guest. And wow, was she right! The Journey to the Top Jackie Pieper has truly climbed the hockey mountain, achieving her dream of playing college hockey. I'm eager to unpack her journey with you, starting from the very beginning. Jackie's passion for hockey was sparked early on by her mom, who shared her own love of the sport with her children. But as we all know, the road to success is rarely smooth. Jackie and her family faced their share of tough times, particularly when her older brother Duke, at just 15 years old, was given only a 5% chance to survive a serious health challenge. Continuing the Legacy But Jackie's impact on hockey didn't stop when she hung up her competitive skates. She's been inspiring the next wave of hockey talents, coaching various teams over the years and currently offering private small-group on-ice skills training. Beyond the ice, Jackie continues to make a difference as a speech pathologist, bringing her passion for helping others into another aspect of her life. If you're ready for a dose of inspiration, grab your favorite drink, and let's dive into a story that's sure to tug at your heartstrings.
