Brianne Jenner - Virtual Training Sessions
Canadian National Women's team member Brianne Jenner is offering virtual training sessions during the weeks of July 20-24 and August 10-14. Each session is offered Monday to Friday for 2 hours each day.
Workouts will include age appropriate off-ice exercises, a combination of aerobic/anaerobic conditioning, strength work with a focus on single-leg stability, skating mechanics and explosive power. This is followed by skills sessions on stick-handling, shooting mechanics, and other tips. Randi Milani, the Maple Leafs skating and mobility coach will also be contributing to our program, with sessions including hockey-specific yoga. Once again guest coaches including several of my Olympic/National levels teammates and others at the International level will share experiences and knowledge with campers. Our sessions also introduce players to understanding focus and mental performance, and in ways applicable to all ages. Sommer Christie, Hockey Canada Mental Performance Coach will be talking to the players about practical tools to develop mental skills and optimize performance. Players will also be treated to a presentation by Emily Fulton, dietitian and sports nutritionist.
The first portion of the session is a workout (45 min.). The next portion of the session, following a quick break is dedicated to skill development, largely focusing on stickhandling work as well as cognitive and skill-based coordination drills. The last portion of the session (30min.) is our time for discussion, presentations (hockey chalk talk), or for our guest speaker. Players will have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with guest speakers as well.
