Hey Sean, are you sprinting in-season with college teams?

Sean, I spoke to Coach Boyle today on The Strength Coach podcast about the importance of Medicine Ball throws. He had posted: "To get better at shooting we shoot. Shooting is legs and trunk. We’ve never done any grip, wrist, forearm stuff. I love med ball throws for shooting." (This was about side throws) I asked him how he cues them for hockey players and he said he really just focuses on getting them to throw from the back leg, and not focusing at all on arms/hands. I tell golfers "Throw with your right butt cheek." I use Slams, Chest Passes from different starts, and Side Throws (regular side throw and one with a lateral step towards the target) Wanted to get your thoughts on what your "go-tos" are for med ball throws (with respect to specific throws and cueing) with hockey players.

Sean, The college D3 team I am advising for next year has two 75 minute slots for training In-season, on Monday and Weds. They complained that they felt like they lost strength as the season went on and their joints were "achy" I suspect it's from too much volume. I want to give them an extended warm up and recovery on Monday (coming off weekend games) with a Total Body workout, focusing on keeping the volume low. I am thinking Wednesday can be a heavier day as they will be recovered from games and I want to try to maintain strength during season, again keeping volume low. How would you approach this? Thanks!

Sean, trying to make sure I keep player's groins strong and healthy. Off season focus has plenty of lateral work- side squats & lunges, cable adductor/abductor work, slide boards and Copenhagen side planks. In-season, I stop the slide board but still do the rest. Am I missing something? How do you approach this? Thanks!
