“Do you guys do core training?”
We get this question all the time.

And the answer might surprise you…

𝗬𝗲𝘀 — 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸.

In training, “core stability” has become a buzzword. Parents think a stronger athlete = more planks, more bracing, tighter abs.

But sport doesn’t actually work that way.

Hockey players don’t shoot with a stiff torso.
Baseball players don’t throw with locked abs.
Sprinters don’t run fast by bracing their stomach.

Power in sport travels from the ground → through the hips → through the trunk → into the arms.

If the trunk is rigid, the force gets blocked.

We don’t want stiff athletes.
We want athletes who can transfer force.

A strong core isn’t about holding still —
It’s about controlling movement while the body is moving fast.

That’s how you get harder shots, faster sprinting, and higher velocity throws.

Try the test:
Sprint 20m normally.
Rest 2–3 minutes.
Sprint again while actively bracing your core.

You’ll feel it immediately.

Speed comes from coordination and elastic movement — not squeezing your abs as hard as possible.

We train athletes, not muscles.

“Dreams are free. Goals have a cost.” – Usain Bolt

Everyone wants to run fast.
Everyone wants to make the team.
Everyone wants the scholarship.

Few want to pay for it.

The cost?

• Early mornings
• Consistency when motivation fades
• Strength work when others skip it
• Recovery when others scroll
• Saying no to things that don’t move you forward

So here’s the real question:

👉 What are you willing to give up this week to move closer to your goal?

Comment it below. Let’s hold each other accountable.

Spring Break?
𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 ⚡

Just a quick update — TOMORROW is the FINAL day to lock in Early Bird pricing for the 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽.

After Saturday, registration moves to regular pricing.

We already have strong interest and 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱!

This camp is split into 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽𝘀 (Middle School & High School) so athletes get the most out of their training.

Athletes will:
• get faster
• improve acceleration & change of direction
• build confidence in their sport

Over the week, they’ll learn proper sprint mechanics, movement efficiency, jumping & landing technique, and explosive power development — plus pre & post testing so they can actually see their improvement.

Spring Break is one of the best times all year to work on speed. With fewer games and less school pressure, athletes can finally 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀.

“How many days per week should I strength train?”

Trick question — there isn’t one perfect number.

It depends on the athlete in front of you:
• What sport do you play?
• Where are you in the season (pre-season, in-season, playoffs, off-season)?
• How often are you practicing?
• What’s your training age (years of lifting), not just your biological age?

Good programming isn’t “leg day” and “push-pull splits.”
It’s tailored planning based on the athlete, their sport, and their current demands.

The goal isn’t just to lift — it’s to train in a way that actually improves performance and keeps you healthy.

Why are kids leaving sports so early?

In Canada, participation drops significantly between ages 12–15 — especially for girls.

The reasons aren’t mysterious:
• Sport stops being fun
• Pressure increases
• Playing time decreases
• Early specialization ramps up

With Norway dominating another Olympics, there’s a lot of discussion about their youth sport system.

But instead of asking whether we can copy Norway, maybe we should ask:

Are our systems actually keeping kids in sport — or quietly pushing them out?

Our latest blog takes a deep dive into youth sport dropout in Canada and sets up a conversation about what we can do differently.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴🦵💥

Unilateral (single-leg) training isn’t just about making things harder; it's a piece of the bigger puzzle.

Here’s why we include it in nearly every athlete’s program at Speed Mechanics:

✅ Addresses imbalances: Everyone has one leg stronger than the other. Single-leg work helps increase strength and reduce injury risk.

✅ Boost core & pelvic stability: Training one leg forces your body to stabilize — helping you move better, cut quicker, and stay strong under pressure.

💪 Bonus: It builds muscle too — your armour for full-contact sports like hockey.

Often, it's said "train how you play," but this isn't why we do unilateral training. None of your sports are in the weight room (minus weightlifters and powerlifters). Unilateral training will help your sprinting, jumping, cutting, and skating because you are generally stronger in various planes and movements, not because you practiced weights on one leg.

We still use big lifts like squats and deadlifts — but combining them with single-leg work builds stronger, more resilient athletes.
