25.01.2022 Big weekend learning from and meeting great people at the #NSCA Ontario provincial clinic at #UofT. @bluesstrength

25.01.2022 Thanks to Coach Jarratt for sharing this wisdom. The scales rarely show the full picture!

24.01.2022 Blues Hockey girls still throwing some weight around late in the season. Maintaining strength and power is critical when going into a playoffs campaign @blueswhky #varsityblues #bleedblue

22.01.2022 Force absorption is one of the most vital physical attributes for field/team sport athletes and it is often forgotten about. If athletes were taught early in their development basic physical competencies like how to decelerate and land correctly and these were progressed appropriately throughout their sporting careers non-contact injury rates would decrease significantly. I estimate the rate of non-contact injury could decrease by as much as 50% among certain populations a...nd sport. Im very keen to hear others opinions on this, comment below.

22.01.2022 Proud to work with these boys. Heres some of the work theyre putting in leading up to season 18/19. Their home opener is right around he corner - October 13 vs Ryerson! WE ALL #BLEEDBLUE #WeAreTO @uoft @uoftkpe @ouasport @usportsca @bluesstrength @trainwithpush @keiserfitness

21.01.2022 Below is a link to my latest article, which Ive posted on my website. If you are looking to become more agile this season it is a must read. Whether its beating your opponent to the ball or avoiding an oncoming tackler you need to be agile. Check it out and if you have any questions at all, please dont hesitate contacting me.

21.01.2022 Training with simple and fun concepts and principles will yield far greater results than a program that is complex and tedious.

20.01.2022 Training tip: When training speed or acceleration do not neglect the deceleration component of each effort or sprint. - Training the deceleration will allow you to slow down and change direction faster and more efficiently. ... - Learning and training how to slow down properly will allow reduce the risk of injury in multiple ways. Including allowing the hamstrings to learn how to resist anterior translation of the femur over the tibia, effectively reducing ACL rupture risk. - Its such an easy addition to any speed and acceleration session/effort, that it would be wasteful to not include a decel component. In most sports decel and change of direction is as, if not more important than accel ability.

19.01.2022 Fun speed session today, really testing out different aspects of speed and change of direction. #speed #football #varsityblues

18.01.2022 Baseballer, softballer and all round baller Alan, completing some over head stability work in prep for his sessions. Love getting creative with lift prep.

18.01.2022 Our girl Soph getting her weekly session in with her @nyshockey team @tpa_sports. Looking forward to another big Summer Soph!

18.01.2022 Summer starts here. Getting that off-season conditioning up and running for a lot of the varsity teams. #varsityblues #UofT

17.01.2022 Record breaking, Gold winning, legendary performances by our University of Toronto Swim team!

16.01.2022 How to practice effectively ... for just about anything:

16.01.2022 Go Nick Veale you legend, pitching well. Tune in to the Gold medal match against Japan the worlds top team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4swgOPgYOc

13.01.2022 What is optimal core training? Discover which exercises to include to train your core for its function and to prevent injury. http://www.ashdaviesathleticdevelopment.com/coretraining... the crunch doesnt tick any of the boxes as far as improving the function of the core musculature. To do this, we must look to anti-movement exercises. Always interested in discussion and others opinions on the topic. Comment below or contact me directly with any further questions

13.01.2022 -NEW EXERCISE INTRO- Meet the step up. Forget about squatting on a boss ball, this is functional training. ... The step up is a lower body unilateral exercise that emphasises force output from a stationary flexed position (bent ankle, knee and hip). Starting from this position means that you have to overcome your body weight and any external resistance to stand up tall on the box or step, extending the knee and hip and then return to the flexed bottom position in a controlled manner. The quads, hamstrings and glutes are all involved in this exercise. You can increase the involvement of the glutes by leaning forward and increasing hip flexion. Do: - maintain straight alignment of ankle, knee and hip - extend and stand tall - start with tension and drive into the box or step through front heel Dont: - push off back foot and use momentum to decrease load - drop back down to the ground without control If you have any questions OR would like more info on how my online coaching services work please visit www.ashdaviesathleticsdevelopment.com or contact me directly.

12.01.2022 Young Arthur came in and went to work yesterday. Arthur is part of the Australian national youth ice hockey team that Ive been working with. The team will be competing in the world championships early 2018. Its been great to bring a structured program to many of the young boys representing Aus.

11.01.2022 What an off-season! Very sentimental saying good luck to these legends heading into their respective training camps this week. Not often that you come across athletes that are willing to put in months of consistent hard work. ... Well done boys good luck for the 2018 CFL season.

11.01.2022 Kids and resistance training. A great article on why kids definitely should be doing some form of resistance training whether they are playing sport or not.

10.01.2022 3 TIPS FOR CREATING A HABIT OF EXERCISE or TRAINING: 1 - TRAIN EVERY DAY When you plan to train everyday there is no choice involved. There is no way to get out of training. You dont have to kill yourself in the gym, but do something, yoga, mobility, walk. ... 2 - TRAIN IN THE MORNING Motivation levels are highest when you wake and you are almost 3 times as likely to train in the morning. This leaves you feeling accomplished and helps you make positive decisions throughout the day. 3 - INCORPORATE RESISTANCE TRAINING This provides an easy way to overload your training. Continuous aerobic training can become monotonous, not to mention the incredible amount of health benefits aligned with resistance training. If you struggle with regular exercise, use these three tips to ingrain exercise into your life.

09.01.2022 - Is your coach or trainer full of SH#T? Heres a way to find out. ---------------... Be wary of any coach that has all the answers or gives you specific advice without any subjective background knowledge. In training and fitness it is rare that any answer is black and white, we are all different and often two people will be required to use different methods to achieve the same goal whether it be a specific movement or exercise or achieving a long term goal. Ask questions of your coach. They should be asking you twice as many.

09.01.2022 No better feeling then when its visible that youve had a positive impact on a young persons mood/mental state in an hour training session and they finish with a smile. This is one of the reasons I coach and why I love coaching.

07.01.2022 This is my 9am Saturday morning virtual workout. It varies every week so you dont get bored but always leaves you feeling better than when you started. We havent missed one since March and no plans to slow down. ... To get involved follow the link in bio or DM for more info.

07.01.2022 Fun day testing some of Canadas elite track and field athletes and future olympians.

07.01.2022 Good luck to Team Australia Baseball and everyone participating in the World Baseball Classic over the coming weeks. Also well done and congratulations to good friend Brad Harman on his selection. Brad is an extremely talented baseballer, but has worked hard over the last two years to overcome injuries and be in optimal physical condition. He is an outstanding example of doing the little things consistently to achieve a long term goal. Follow Australias first game against Japan, March 8.

06.01.2022 Great to see our @tpa_sports summer camp athletes having a great time on the ice before the season starts. Its been a hell of a summer. Looking forward to seeing testing results over the next few weeks. I think well be seeing some huge improvements across the board.

03.01.2022 Is your warm-up leaving you under prepared and under performing? Optimal preparation is so much more than just being warm, it is just one of the many components. http://www.ashdaviesathleticdevelopment.com/preparation

03.01.2022 Loving working with these ladies at the moment. They are elite figure skaters with a work ethic to match. #skatecanada #figureskating #strengthtraining #icedance #tpasports

02.01.2022 Working some acceleration and speed mechanics with our athletes at TPA sports. Even though these are hockey athletes it is vital they learn to efficiently apply force to the ground to maximise skating speed.

02.01.2022 This info graphic depicts how NBA player James Harden makes use of his ability to absorb force, decelerate and change direction quickly. This gives him an edge over his competition, which he uses to make step back jump shots. Read more about change of direction ability and agility in my article at: http://www.ashdaviesathleticdevelopment.com/what-is-agility

01.01.2022 Great to see some of the #ouasport swimming champs over this weekend. What a great atmosphere! Go #Toronto!
