Difference Between Hockey Training and Practice

A lot of people think that hockey training and hockey practice are the same thing; however, the differences are night and day. Practicing for hockey involves getting out on the ice, repeating shots and scrimmaging against other players. Practice is performing tasks that occur in the game until executing them becomes routine. The goal is to repeat the same skill over and over until it is sufficiently mastered.

However, when it comes to athletic training with our elite coaches, a hockey player will not step foot on the ice. Athletic strength training involves exercises and movements that push the body to the next level and condition it for harder tasks. There is no ceiling for strength training. Athletes always have room to become better conditioned, stronger, and faster. Once a skill is mastered, an athlete will add on a new goal making the body stronger and more prepared to play hockey. The stronger the player, the faster they are on the ice and the more their playmaking ability improves.

Why is Hockey Athletic Training Important?

Not only is hockey training important for becoming a better hockey player, but it also reduces the chance of injury while increasing overall health and fitness. Most hockey players will experience at least one injury throughout their career. At DiamondFit, we train our athletes with a variety of exercises that helps reduce common injuries. Becoming stronger and more flexible will help your body hold up to the physicality of competitive or travel hockey.

There is only so much practice a hockey player can do that will make them better at their craft. If their skills are amazing, but they do not have the strength and balance to execute them in competition, it is pointless. Focused, custom, data driven hockey athletic training will make a player perform better in practice and enhance those hockey skills that they have already learned.
