Maximizing the Off-Season  and Not Losing It In-Season

Athletic training development is a year round process. Though the focus may be different in training mentality, depending on in season or off season, etc. The goal is to unleash the potential!

Off-Season (May 15 – August 25)
This is the golden window for player development. With no games or school obligations, athletes have the time and energy to focus on what truly elevates their performance: speed, power, conditioning, and movement ability. This is where physical transformation happens  the offseason is for building the athletic foundation that carries players through the entire year. It’s not about just staying active; it’s about leveling up.

Every sprint, lift, and drill done now pays dividends when the puck drops again. The gains made in the off-season separate the prepared from the average  but only if they’re maintained.

In-Season (September 1 – March 1)
This is where many athletes make the mistake of pulling back too much. While the intensity of training should shift, it should never stop. In-season sessions are key to maintaining strength, preventing injuries, and reinforcing movement patterns built in the summer. The players who keep training even at a lower intensity are the ones who stay healthy, consistent, and ready to perform at a high level from Game 1 to the playoffs.

Takeaway:
The off-season is where you build it. The in-season is where you protect it. Together, they create complete, durable athletes who don’t just peak they stay there.

    Why Power Output Matters Has More Influence Than Strength: Power vs Strength

    Strength is often measured in pounds on a bar or reps on a set. And sure, those numbers are impressive but they’re not telling the full story and how it actually be applied.
