Grab a buddy! Dryland training is great for individual athletes training, but can also be a fantastic boost for teams. Aside from the obvious benefit of the increase in physical on-ice performance, dryland training for a team adds an element of team unity.
Playing side by side on the ice heightens player connection to one another, and training side by side takes it to another level. Teams that dryland train together, whether it is in the weight room or in an open speed-agility area, sweat, breath hard, and push each other. These subtle 'pushes' enable each player to feed off of each others energy and heightens the awareness of the task at hand---working hard now to pay off on the ice.
Solo training is great, and team training adds another dimension to helping you push your training to the limit. Grab a buddy!
