For some athletes, listening to music while working out helps motivate them to reach new heights. Still, you have to be sure that you plug those headphones in at the right times.
Four Weeks To A Better Player
You should listen to music when you are working out on your own, in a safe environment. Try to avoid bringing your iPod to a training session with a strength and conditioning coach. They are there to coach you, not babysit. Be careful about what you listen to when you are in a recovery work out, like riding a stationary bike after a game.
When the tempo picks up in the song, then your tempo on the bike also picks up, defeating the purpose of a recovery ride. Riding a stationary bike can help aid in recovery and cool down after a game or an intense workout. Riding at a slow, easy pace for minutes, followed by static stretching is a great cool down. Being a better teammate starts with being the best person you can be.
Colleges tend to recruit character people, not just good hockey players. Make sure you are the type of person other players and coaches will want to be around. Like everything else in hockey, practice makes perfect. Find a technique that works for you and get outside with a makeshift net and shoot. The key is repetition, repetition, repetition.

Conclusion
Better Hockey Shape Hockey is about rest and recovery, so the training routine should be more like a sprinter than a marathon runner. Better Quickness As a hockey player, your focus should be on speed and explosive movements because you are never going to reach full acceleration — the rink is not big enough. Better Strength Building strength is not all about how much weight you can lift. Building A Better Core Sit-ups and crunches are always going to be a great way to get strong abs, but hockey players should not put so much emphasis on the traditional methods.
Greater Flexibility In order to get the most range of motion from your muscles, two different types of stretches should be used in your workout. A Healthier Lifestyle A healthier lifestyle is much more than just eating right. Improving Your Hockey Sense Most players in the past developed hockey sense — the ability to read the ice — by spending countless hours on a local pond or backyard rink. Recovery Rides Riding a stationary bike can help aid in recovery and cool down after a game or an intense workout.
Be A Better Teammate Being a better teammate starts with being the best person you can be. A Better Shot Like everything else in hockey, practice makes perfect. Six-Pack Abs Every one, at one point or another, wants a set of washboard abs. The Brain Game Students that do well in school tend to do well in athletics.
