I wish I had access to a program like this when I was coming up through the ranks.  Because after learning how to train for peak performance at the college and national team level, and training young players for the last 10 years on and  off the ice, I know that the training I did as a kid was completely WRONG.

 

I made absolutely every training mistake possible and my body and hockey career suffered for it.  I spent so much of my time and energy focusing on doing training programs that weren’t specific to my age, gender or sport.  The training programs I used back then definitely were not designed by a woman who had played, coached and trained at the highest levels of women’s hockey.   I would never train the girls I work with today the same way I trained back then.

 

I can give you all the information, inspiration and support you need to get you from where you are now to where you want to be…

 

But at the end of the day, you’re the one who has to put in the WORK.

 

And this program shows you exactly the type of work you need to be doing to take your speed, strength, conditioning and confidence through the roof and takes you through the entire system step-by-step.

 

You have until midnight EST to take action advantage of this offer:

Champions are made when no one else is watching,

 

They don’t just put in the time and effort when they have to. They do MORE because they want more.  They do it because they know that it’s the hard work they put in on their own that puts them ahead of the competition.

 

::  It’s easy to give 110% effort in a game with your teammates there and your coaches and parents cheering you on.

 

::  It’s easy to work your butt off at practice when the rest of your teammates are doing the same and the possibility of getting more ice time or a chance to play on the power-play might come as a result of all your effort.

 

:: It’s even easy to get pumped up during an off-ice training session when you can feed off the energy and motivation of your team.

 

The problem is - no one ever became a champion by just doing the EASY stuff.

 

I know you work really hard during the season to be the best player you can be, but the reality is…

 

Champions are made in the off-season. 

 

They are made when no one is watching or keeping score.

 

They are made with HARD work off the ice.

 

Champions are the ones working out on their own in the park in June when most players are relaxing their way into summer.

 

They are the ones working on their stick-handling and shooting every night in the basement even when the start of the season is still months away.

 

They are the ones doing the “little things” like drinking enough water, setting goals, eating well and stretching each and every day - not just before big tournaments or when their coach tells them to.

 

Champions don’t sit around and wait for success to come to them.

 

They go out and get it for themselves.

 

They take action and put in the hard work every single day to make sure that their dreams become a reality.

 

And they do it all without anyone watching them. They do it because they want it more and they are willing to do whatever it takes to get to the next level.

 

::  There are 16 weeks until the season starts.
::  This IS the time when true champions are built.

 

That’s why I made the Total Female Hockey Elite Training System 16 weeks long.  I want to make sure that while you’re training on your own to gain an advantage on the competition this summer, you are doing all the right things.  And even if you are out there working hard on your own, I will be there every step of the way.

 

When you get your copy of the step-by-step program before Friday, you will not only get the 16 week program that will take your speed, strength and stamina through the  roof - but you’ll also get the benefit of me being your personal coach all summer long.

 

With the 16 brand-new Workout of the Week videos and the 8 exclusive Coaching Calls, I’ll be there to coach you through everything you need to do on and off the ice to get to the next level and until Friday at midnight, you can get that coaching free of charge.

 

This exclusive offer is only available until Friday at midnight and then you won’t be able to access these 2 amazing bonuses for free ever again. To get started on becoming a true champion this summer, click on the link below:

The training is not easy - but as I said before, no champion was ever made by just doing the easy stuff.

 

So - What are you going to do when no one else is watching this summer to take your game to the next level?

Every player who wants to make it to the next level asks themselves this question:

 

::  What Do I Need To Do To Stand-Out?"

 

And this question is not just coming from players who want college scholarships or to try out for the national team…

 

… It comes from players like YOU who are willing to do whatever it takes to get to the next level, but aren’t sure if they are on the right track.

 

 

… It comes from players like ME who aren’t the best players (yet) but are so dedicated and motivated to be the best that nothing will stop you from reaching your ultimate goal.

 

I must’ve asked myself this question hundreds of times as a young player - and it’s not until now, after going through it as a player and helping players through it as a coach, that I feel like I can answer it for you.

 

I’m going to share the "5 Secrets To Standing Out" with you today.

 

In this 5 secrets coaching call, I tell you what you need to do right now to be your best everyday and make the best impression possible every time you hit the ice.

 

I am going to share the key clip from this in-depth call with you - just click on the link below to find out what the secrets are:

 

http://totalfemalehockeyclub.com/video-sample/5_secrets/

 

The audio recording of this entire coaching call, plus 7 more complete calls, are the 2nd HUGE limited-time bonus in the Total Female Hockey Elite Training System promotion that is only on until Friday May 21st at midnight.

 

These calls cover everything from how to stand out, to how to start the scholarship process, how to eat for peak performance and how to make sure you don’t sabotage yourself on your way up to the next level.

 

You’ll get your 8 exclusive coaching calls and the 16 brand-new Workout of the Week videos - at no extra cost - when you order the Total Female Hockey Elite Training System before Friday. That’s in addition to the step-by-step training manual for the entire summer, complete with 16 weeks of workouts and 3 DVDs for speed, strength and conditioning.

 

After Friday, those bonuses will be gone, and so will your opportunity to have me there all summer long as a mentor and coach.  I’ve been through exactly what you’re going through and I want to make sure you get on and stay on the right  track towards your hockey dreams.

Your friend and coach,

Today, I am launching the exclusive 2010 version of the Total Female Hockey ELITE TRAINING SYSTEM to help you move closer to your dreams on the ice by showing you exactly what you need to do off the ice to get to the next level.

 

But before we get to those details, you need to read this first…

…especially if you want to reach the elite levels of women’s hockey.

 

Last week, 109 elite women’s hockey players from across this country were invited to a 5 day high-intensity off-ice ONLY boot-camp to see how they stack up against their competition for spots on the national team.

 

The fact that these players won’t step on the ice for the entire week, and will only be evaluated on their off-ice ability, tells you a lot about what it REALLY important when it comes to getting to and excelling at the next level.

 

It reminds me of when I first went out to Calgary to help out as a coach at one of these camps.  I will never forget the first words that the national team coach said to the players at their first meeting:

 

“What is going to separate you from everyone else in this room is what you are willing to do OFF the ice to get better.”

 

Notice she didn’t talk about your stick skills, slap-shot or game-sense.  Those things are definitely important, but when it comes to separating yourself from the rest of the competition
at every level of women’s hockey, the truth is that it’s the hard work you put in OFF the ice that gives you a serious advantage.

 

The expectations are high for these 109 players.  They need to show that they are FAST, FIT and PHYSICALLY STRONG.  And if you want to get there someday, you’ll need to show that too.

 

BUT…

 

And this is a very important BUT…

 

Although you DON’T need to be training at the exact same level of intensity as these players yet…

 

… You DO need to build the EXACT SAME foundation for success.

 

To take your game to the next level, you need to use this off-season to get faster, fitter and stronger. You need to put in the work NOW - so that you can succeed later.

 

It’s going to be HARD - but as your coach,
I’m going to make it a lot easier for you.

 

There are exactly 16 weeks left until Labor Day and the start of next season.  You’ve got 16 weeks to put in the work and gain the advantage.

 

The Total Female Hockey Elite Training System is a 16 week step-by-step  workout program to help you be the faster, fittest and strongest player possible in the fall.  I have written out every single workout for you, complete with pictures and descriptions of every single exercise, and have also created 3 DVDs that show you how to do every speed, strength and conditioning exercise in the program.

 

And just to make sure you know EXACTLY what you’re doing every step of the way:

 

:::   I have created 16 brand-new “Workout of the Week Videos” for you.

 

Every week, I will send you the video that will show you exactly what you need to do that week to move closer to your dreams.  You’ll need to work hard this summer to get to the next level, but figuring out exactly what you need to do will be EASY.

 

To get started with the brand-new ELITE TRAINING SYSTEM and get access to the 16 Workout of the Week Videos, you need to click on the link below:

As of Friday May 21st at midnight, you will no longer be able to get access to this HUGE bonus of the weekly workout videos (or the other HUGE bonus that you will find out more about on the next page).

I was at the Team Ontario Under-18 tryouts this past weekend, and when I wasn’t talking to the girls about off-ice player development, I was out watching games.

 

There are a lot of things that make players stand out on the ice:

:: Dynamic skating

:: Quick and accurate puck movement

:: 1-on-1 ability

 

But the one thing that always makes players stand out is their ability to shoot the puck.  When it comes to getting to the next level, you can’t afford to have a weak shot of any kind.  That means your backhand, snap shot, wrist shot and slap shot, all have to be quick, powerful and accurate.

 

The #1 Secret To Shooting Is:

=>  It’s All In The Hips

 

You can have the strongest arms and legs around, but if you aren’t able to generate power through your hips, the power of your shot will always be sub-par.

 

When we teach shooting on the ice, it can be very difficult to break down technique all the way to the most basic concept of using your hips.  This concept is the most critical when we’re talking about slap-shots and wrist shots.

 

Instead we focus on weight transfer, hand position, point of contact and follow-through, which are all important…

 

… But the "real" key is generating power through your hips.

 

Let me show you what I mean.

 

I created a short shooting video for you - explaining this idea of using your hips and showing you 3 critical exercises you must do to take the speed, power and accuracy of your shot to the next level.

Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you think might be interested.

 

Enjoy!

 

Keep Working Hard and Dreaming BIG.

PS - To help you take your shooting, skating, speed, strength and stamina to the next level, I’m releasing the brand-new version of the Total Female Hockey Elite Training System to the Total Female Hockey Community next week.

 

It features 2 HUGE BONUS packages that I have never offered before and that will be available for a limited time only to help you kick off your summer training.

 

You’ll be the first to know when the 2010 Elite Training System is available.  In the meantime, check out the shooting video here:

I just did a phone interview with a fellow female coach that is unlike  any other interview I’ve ever done.  Usually I am the interviewer, asking all the questions, but in this call, I’m the one giving the answers.  This is also the first time that I’ve been interviewed by another female coach.

 

Maria Mountain trains both male and female players off the ice, including NCAA, CIS,

OHL and NHL players.  Before I started Total Female Hockey, I worked with elite male players too - so we can really speak about how working with girls’ hockey players HAS TO BE very different than working with the boys - especially when it comes to getting to the elite level.  

 

She had some really great questions for me, including… 

 

1.   What’s the #1 exercise girls’ can do in the off-season to be a better player? 

 

2.   Can the most skilled players get away with not working hard off the ice?

(my answer to this might surprise you).

 

3.   What prevents most girls’ hockey players from getting to the next level?

(again - this is a very interesting answer too). 

 

 

Now that the off-season is here, you need to start thinking about the training you are going to do off the ice this summer to take your game to the next level.

 

Listening to this interview will start you off in the right direction.

PS - With the summer just around the corner, the Total Female Hockey Camps are starting to fill up quickly.  We’ve got camps running every month, including the Testing Camp in May (a few spots left), a June camp out west in British Columbia, our July hockey school (including an adult women’s camp) and our biggest event, The Total Female Hockey Elite Experience in August.

 

Every single camp is specifically designed to meet your needs as a female player

and every instructor has played and coached at the elite level of women’s hockey.

This past Monday, 7 of the girls hockey players I have been training all summer and I headed out to the park for a workout. This was the first time we’d done a outdoor session this summer and they had no idea what to expect. I had a really tough workout planned, which finished off with sprints up a ski hill.

I knew the hill sprints would be the hardest part of the workout, but I had no idea that hill would provide them with such a great lesson.

Girls hockey players who aspire to reach the elite level of women’s hockey are starting to play at younger and younger ages. Watch the video below to see how early some future Olympians are learning to skate:

I wish I could skate like that at their age!

Just thought I would send it your way and share the fun before heading into the weekend.

Work Hard. Dream BIG.

And drink more water (blatant advertising for Evian here - maybe they’ll send me a cheque).

~ Coach Kim

Players who aspire to play at the highest level either “get it” or they don’t. You have to put in the hard work off the ice in the off-season or else you will be left behind. While more girls hockey players are training than ever before, many of them will not get the pay-off they deserve when they hit the ice in the fall because of self-sabotage. So here are the 9 most common ways players sabotage their summer training. Make sure to avoid these if you want to be at your best in September and all season long.
(more…)

For the last 3 weeks, the members of the new Total Female Hockey Training Team have been working hard to take their game to the next level (that’s NOT them in the picture). There is no doubt in my mind that these girls hockey players have what it takes to become female hockey rock stars. Do you?
