Elite Week’s single focus: knowledge.
Throughout the week, athletes train on the ice with coaches that continually challenge their environment, their intelligence and their skill set.
Off ice sessions include yoga, core workouts and soccer. These multi-dimensional off-ice approaches reinforce the on-ice teachings and movements. The Sanford Power Sports Science division performs functional movement/strength screenings to identify potential areas that risk injury, as well as sweat/hydration testing to help each athlete determine their unique hydration needs during play.
Classroom sessions consist of interactive discussions based on on-ice scenarios presented through video.
The objective of this program is for players to engage in personal discovery of their game and gain true knowledge of their tools and body. Players receive video feedback and customized data from their sports science testing, along with personalized recommendations addressing any deficiencies identified.
This program is strictly for those who seek to play at the highest level.
