Fitness Secrets From NHL Hockey Players to Boost Your Body — with Doug Crashley

In the sports world, professional hockey players have the notoriety of being some of the toughest, strongest, fittest, and best athletes around. They’re lean, muscular, flexible, powerful, and have a ton of conditioning.

Sign me up!

Okay, so how do you train a human being to become a machine? What’s the process like? How do you deal with all of the intangibles of working with superstar athletes?

More importantly, how can you incorporate the same (without killing yourself in the process)? How can you change your own body and fitness, regardless of the level that you’re currently at?

In this episode, I chat with Doug Crashley, founder of Crash Conditioning in Calgary, Alberta, Canada who trains numerous NHL level hockey players — as well as prospects and juniors who are looking to reach the upper echelon of the sport — to handle the rigors of the season as well as improving their athleticism for the best performance possible.

Learn how you can incorporate the way NHL hockey players approach their fitness and training so you can take your fitness to greater heights.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• What’s wrong with the way MOST PEOPLE TRAIN (and what you should do instead)
• How to flip your mindset if you start missing workouts and fall out of your routine
• How anyone — even someone who isn’t athletic and just trying to get a little bit more fit — can incorporate these lessons and see awesome results
• A breakdown of some of the mentality involved in not only becoming an elite level athlete, but also continuing to grow and reach higher and higher levels
• How to unlock levels of performance that you already have but really couldn’t access without the right mindset
• Why body metrics and weight might not translate to success with athletic performance
