		<description><![CDATA[Hope you had a great weekend - I was super bummed to see the Blues get knocked out of the play-offs.  This led to a very cranky Sunday afternoon and evening.  Really, I don't even want to talk about it, so let's get down to the business of explaining why hockey players static stretch before their workout at Revolution Conditioning.
Why hockey players static stretch before their workout

When I get the question "why do your hockey players (or any athletes for that matter) static stretch before they workout at Revolution Conditioning?" my first answer is…'because Mike Boyle told me to'.  The second short answer is… 'because it works'.  In other words, I started doing it because Mike does it, I continue doing it because it works.

I have had the question a few times in the past week, so I thought it would be a great topic to clarify.  The question comes in different versions, but here is the basic –

    “I heard static stetching before you worked out was dangerous”

Okay, let's get one thing straight...running with scissors is dangerous.  Static stretching?  I am not sure about that.  Although I do not know of any research that concludes static stretching before training is ‘dangerous’, there is evidence that it decreases peak force production and peak power production.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hope your day is off to a good start - I am a big believer in what one of my mentors Alwyn Cosgrove says "there are only good days and great days"and I will still call today a great day even though the sewer backed up into our basement this morning.  Tomorrow we are out of town all day and Sunday we are running a 1/2 marathon (that we have not adequately trained for I might add) and THEN we get to come home to roto-rooter our sewer.

I know most of you think that roto-rootering the sewer is a job best left to the pros - and you would be right, but the Paul (the love of my life, darling husband) is big on being a do-it-yourselfer - so we will be spending Sunday afternoon wrestling a metal snake through the drain and about 20 meters out into the backyard.  Yes, it will be exactly as fun as it sounds :(

But then I got this email from one of you and it reminded me of what is important - helping my 10,000 goalies win more games with fewer injuries - I changed it a little bit to protect the identity of the sender but here is what it said...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are different types of hernia – inguinal and umbilical are tears in the abdominal wall that will often include a bulge where the contents of the abdominal cavity can squeeze out (kinda gross I know).

Then there is what is referred to as the sports hernia which is also a tear in the lower abdominal wall, but there is not usually a bulge.  Here is where the sports hernia is different, it will typically start with a groin injury or groin pain and develops over time from there.

So how does an injury move from the groin (or adductors) up to the lower abdominals?  The answer is that it does not actually move from one location to the other.  The injury in the groin leads to a secondary result of a change in the way an athlete uses their hip joint after groin injury.
Is The Injury Healed When The Pain Is Gone?

The goal of most hockey players (and some of their therapists) after groin injury is to make the pain stop.  No pain = No injury right?  Wrong.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You might recall a few months ago we did an entire “Bottom Up Goalie Training” series showing you ways to ensure your joints were doing the job they are intended to do.  I explained the importance of proper function at the ankle, knee, hip, spine and shoulder, then went over some maintenance exercises that would help keep the injury bug at bay.

At that time I offered to do an advanced series and there was a good response to that offer, so here it is – the Advanced Bottom Up Training for Goalies series.  We will once again start at the ankle.

In the video below we will explore dynamic mobility and stabilization of the ankle joint including:

    The three planes of movement at the ankle (1:30)
     - Building calf strength while developing balance and stability in the most vulnerable position for the ankle (2:35)
     - Working tibial rotation at the ankle joint which really works the muscles of your lower leg, but also your hip (3:20)
     - A nice lunge matrix that fits perfectly into any dynamic warm up – READ: This would be a good one to do before games &#038; practices (4:30)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For today's exercise tip for goalies, I am answering a great question that I got on Twiter - you can follow me  - @GoalieTraining.  This is a great way to ask a quick question and this one is courtesy of @MsConduct10 (does that mean there are 9 other MsConducts?)

So, the question was about the awkward position when a goalie is making a reaching save with the arm outstretched in front of their body.  This is a pretty biomechanically weak position and a vulnerable position for the triceps and the lats.  With the triceps being the weaker of there is a risk]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did I get you with that headline?  Hope none of you stopped reading at that and went straight to the phone to call your lawyer.  Put down the phone and let me explain how you need to divorce something from your off-ice training.

I cannot remember who it is off the top of my head, but there is a strength coach who talks about coaches, trainers and athletes who are ‘married’ to an exercise.  You know the type – they are nice, smart, honest people who choose a spouse who lies, cheats and steals.

You finally get the courage to tell your friend ‘the truth’ about their spouse – thinking you are doing them this great favour – letting them know that the one they love is actually doing them long-term harm.  You are saving them from pain and suffering down the road – you are a good friend.

So you give your friend the facts and what is their response?]]></description>

Somehow it takes about a week to catch up from missing one day in the gym last week - not sure how that works exactly, but it is what it is.  Anyway, when I was in Vegas I was talking to my friend Rick Kaselj of ExercisesForInjuries.com and we were talking about groins....well, you know what I mean, we were talking about groin injuries in hockey players.  Anyway we were talking about how so many players use uniplanar stretching techniques when what they really need is multiplanar stretching.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Goalie Training Q&#038;A for December - had a lot of questions about hockey goalie injuries over the last few weeks.  Here are the topics I am covering in this video: 1)Knee pain below the knee cap with splits on the ice, split squats off the ice and groin stretches.  2)Glute pain after a hard fall on the ice - if you have fallen hard on your butt in the last 3-months, you should really watch this part of the video.  3)Trouble closing the 5-hole in a butterfly. I refer to this screen that anyone can do in my response - screen for hip impingement in hockey goalies]]></description>
