THE INSIDE EDGE ATHLETIC ACADEMY
With 30 years of on- and off-ice experience instructing athletes, Brad Church and Todd Clausen will help you reach your athletic goals! Our mission is simply this: to make our members BETTER ATHLETES, BETTER PLAYERS, and BETTER PEOPLE. We will do this by training our members both on and off the ice, in a challenging, competitive, and most importantly, positive and enthusiastic environment. Our program is designed to give you the tools to develop your natural abilities to the fullest, and to help you achieve maximum potential as a hockey player.
Off-Ice Conditioning
The Inside Edge conditioning program is designed to:
- Improve performance
- Limit injury
It has been proven that individuals participating in consistent physical conditioning are successful in both of these areas. Our program will cover several aspects that are important to successful hockey training: Flexibility, Strength Training, Power Training, Cardiovascular Conditioning (Aerobic/Anaerobic), Stick Handling, Skating Enhancement, Foot Speed and Agility, and Rest and Recovery.
Hockey is a game of power, consisting of many short, explosive movements. This requires adjustments in training and conditioning programs to improve lower body strength for skating, core strength for balance, quick hands for stick handling, and flexibility to improve agility. Our training program will be hockey-specific and will also take into consideration the age of our members. Training should have a separate set of rules for children, teenagers and adults.
On-ice conditioning
On the ice, our members will receive instruction from a professional. Brad will be implementing drills that he participated in as a player and now utilizes as a coach. Drills that will target power skating, puck-handling, shooting and passing. The Inside Edge offers private, small group, and large group lessons with Coach Brad. We also hold camps and clinics that are geared towards more specific skills.
The INSIDE EDGE has more to offer our members than ANY OTHER PROGRAM IN THE VALLEY, so let Brad and Todd, with their 30 years of combined professional experience and knowledge help you maximize your potential as a hockey player!
