This morning, a very close friend of mine and the world-renowned expert on young athlete development, Brian Grasso, launched his brand-new program. This program is going to change lives - just like Brian changed mine.
That’s a picture of Brian and I at a recent conference.
Brian was my first ever strength coach - back when I was in high school desperately trying to do everything I could to become the best female hockey player possible.
Brian was the one who taught me that “More is NOT Better”.
When I met Brian, I was training off-ice at least 2 hours everyday (in addition to practice/games/other sports), I already had serious ankle and lower back problems, and I was only 15 years old.
He was the first person who showed me that hockey-specific training doesn’t need a gym or fancy equipment. We did most of our workouts at a park near my high school and they were 100% more efficient and effective than the epic workouts I had been suffering through before.
He was also the first one who taught me that “food is fuel” and that I had to take in energy through food in order to have energy to play out on the ice. When I started training with Brian, I was eating too little of the wrong things. I may have been training 3+ hours per day for hockey, but I was F-A-T. I wasn’t taking in enough calories to maintain the energy I needed to perform, so my body stored the few calories I did take in as fat so that I would survive.
Brian showed me that instead of eating over-processed “healthy” food, I needed to eat the most natural foods possible in order to feel and play my best. He also let me know that eating the chocolate bar or scoop of ice cream didn’t make me a bad person and wasn’t going to make me fat. This was a HUGE “AHA” moment for me - I had been avoiding anything with fat in it for months, for fear that it was going to me fat…boy was I wrong.
Brian completely changed the way I approached training and eating.
And in turn, he completely transformed the way I played hockey.
And even more than that, Brian completely changed my life.
My experiences working with Brian as a young hockey player led me to want to become a coach, and help other girls avoid all the same mistakes I had made as a young player trying to get to the next level.
Brian and I are still good friends, and I know, without a doubt in my mind, that the new program he released today will be THE Youth Obesity Solution. Brian has had a HUGE impact on my life, as well as tens of thousands of young athletes worldwide, and the number of kids’ lives that he is going to help change will absolutely skyrocket with this new program.
Seriously, if you have a child that is overweight, a parent with children that are overweight, or know a family that just isn’t active enough sedentary - you owe it to yourself and to them to pick up a copy of Brian’s free special report:
“The 7 Secrets You Need To Know About Raising Healthy, Happy & Active Children”

Hi! Today I did the TFH program plus 60 hand presses with 10 pound weights, 25 fast push ups in a row, 30 elbow to knee sit ups and 15 minutes on the eliptical machine. This wekend I noticed that alot of kids don’t eat good. One girl has pop for breakfast. Other kids eat lots of candy, never drink milk drink lots of pop and don’t eat vegtables. I trry real hard to eat healthy. I’ve been keeping my goal of treats every other day. Some times I go three days. I don’t eat candy hardly ever, and I like lots of different types of vegetables. I’m trying to get stomach muscles that you can see.
The Wild is beating the Capitals. Go Wild!
See ya!

I’ve had to change from doing the TFH program to my field hockey program that I received. I’m on my Regional Development Team and they have Sean Campbell create a fitness program for all of the people involved in the Field Hockey BC programs, I’ll hopefully be having a field hockey program to do until late into next summer, that would mean I would make my regional tournament team and from there be selected to the provincial squad. I’m still doing my ‘pushup program’ that I started up to achieve my goal as well as all the strength training with field hockey, flexibility and cardio training.
I just had a ringette game, we could only score one goal, and I faced 49 shots, I let in 3, but it should have only been two, oh well that’s still a 94% save percentage and I had a good game with a quite a few good saves. On average, in ice hockey, I only face about 6-10 shots and most of them aren’t very good because our team is too strong for our league.
