Youth Hockey Training Presentation

Kevin Neeld

Last weekend I gave a presentation to 186 U-14 players at a USA Hockey Regional Festival Camp in Colorado Springs. The presentation was designed to introduce the importance of training and the components of a quality training program, and discuss how the program is modeled around their development with regard to the long-term athletic development model. The presentation was well-received and generated a lot of great questions from players, parents, and coaches so I wanted to share it with you. You can download the presentation PDF at the link below, and I've included the videos below for your reference.
