Off Season Hockey: What Should You Be Thinking!
On this episode of Krush Performance, we are talking off season hockey – one of the most important times of the year for hockey players at all levels. We are joined in studio by Krush Favorites, Manny Schmidt of Link Management International / Certified NHL player agent and Rick Carriere, the Senior Director of Player Development for the Edmonton Oilers.
We talk pro player development and how they handle their players in the off season and how they direct player development. We’ll also look at the impact of early specialization in sport & especially in the game of hockey. We know early specialization results in increased injury, higher burn out & drop out rates.
For many players, the off-season is well underway while others are going deep into the play-offs and have to be masters of athlete management. What should you be thinking about this of season? How important is it to get away from the rink & off of the ice?
