Girls hockey players MUST get stronger, faster and fitter this off-season if they want to take their game to the next level.
If girls address these 3 key components in their hockey workouts this summer, they will be a better player once September rolls around.
Hockey-specific strength training is the most fundamental component of off-season off-ice player development and must be built BEFORE speed and conditioning.
Without a solid foundation of strength and stability in place, young female players will NOT be able to use their speed and fitness to their greatest extent and will NOT be able to perform at the highest level both on and off the ice.
However, coaches and parents of young female players have some concerns about strength training.
Let’s look at each of the 4 most common concerns in more detail.
Concern #1: With no body checking in the female game, off-ice strength training isn’t necessary.
‘No body checking’ doesn’t equal ‘no body contact’. Since female hockey players are not allowed to use body checking as a means of separating the opposition from the puck, they must rely on their speed and body positioning in order to do so. By participating in a properly designed strength training program, female athletes will develop the total body strength needed to win races for the puck and battles along the boards.
Concern #2: If I start strength training, I am going to ‘look like a man’.
Fundamental physiological differences between genders makes ‘looking like a man’ virtually impossible for female athletes. Females have fewer muscle fibres and much less testosterone than males, which makes gaining large amounts of lean muscle extremely difficult. Furthermore, gaining a large amount of lean muscle mass requires very specific programs that are not effective in young athletes due to their lack of physiological readiness for this type of training and their lack of strength training experience overall.
Concern #3: Starting strength training at a young age will lead to injury.
Females are no more likely to be injured while performing strength training than males. Young athletes tend to get injured when they receive poor instruction on technique or are exposed to a level of training that is inappropriate to their age and ability. Proper instruction of correct techniques, coupled with a safe and gradual progression of intensity, will actually help to prevent injuries both on and off the ice.
Concern #4: Males strength train. Females don’t.
Perhaps more important than the structured physiological development of a young female hockey player is the proper psychological development. Young females are constantly bombarded with images and messages about what constitutes the ‘ideal’ female body shape. As a result, female athletes competing in sports that require strength and power may be more susceptible to psychological issues related to body image that are not typical with male athletes. Most young male hockey players desperately want to get bigger, faster and stronger. Young female hockey players must be empowered: parents and coaches must let them know that it is to their benefit to be strong, both as athletes and as people.
Proper strength training does NOT require players to push around weights and will NOT lead to them becoming “muscle bound”. They DON’T need to join an expensive gym and they DON’T need use any fancy equipment.
With body-weight strength training, girls’ hockey players can build the strength and stability in all of the muscles and joints that support and power hockey-specific movements.
Body-weight strength training is the most fundamental component to enhancing on-ice performance this off-season.

If you have been pumping iron like an obsessed bodybuilder but find that the results are much below your expectations then you have obviously been shunted to the wrong track.
Pay heed to these tips and avoid mistakes that could be costing you dearly in your bodybuilding workout.
You could be eating the right foods at the wrong time. You might have followed the advice given to you of eating foods loaded with proteins and carbohydrates. However, if you have been wolfing down these foods in 2 or 3 huge meals then this will only slow down your metabolism and affect your workout and your body. Split your meals into 6 small meals spread over the day and notice a positive change in your performance and muscle growth.
You could be happy only in increasing reps and sets. You might be rightfully happy when you increase your reps and sets in any weight training routine. However, if you remain stagnant then your muscles too will become happy and lazy while refusing to bulk up further. Instead of only increasing reps, increase your weights and make yourself happier when you look at bulging muscles in the mirror.
You could be burning yourself out. In your desire to have a body like ‘Conan the Barbarian’, you might be working out feverishly at the gym for hours on end and on every single day of the week. However, by following this routine you will simply end up with a body like ‘Conan O’Brien’. You should realize that muscles bulk up during sleep and rest, and hence a 4 day weight training routine stretching one hour each is enough for you to easily end up with massive muscles attached to a broad body.
You could be exercising without a plan. If you rush from one routine to another and from one machine to another in a bid to simply complete the most number of exercises in a single session then you will only end up exhausted and all worn out. You will have to exercise one major muscle group per day and that too with a well thought-off plan in advance. Ask your gym instructor to set up the right sequence of exercises to be followed and stick to that muscle-forming routine.
