Ice Hockey and Skating
Keep developing between sessions.
Ask about the Coach Nabil Academy, my developing online offer for home practice, mentorship and virtual progress conversations. Your plan can connect training priorities with your sport schedule, preparation habits and goals, with parents involved for youth athletes.
Academy access is a separate membership. Its price, meeting frequency, support and access duration are confirmed personally. The academy is being prepared for client rollout.
Build strength and control beyond the ice.
I provide private strength and conditioning for boys and girls in Chicago and the North Shore. I prepare the athlete underneath the sport through functional strength, movement literacy, expressive power and recovery guidance.
What the sport asks of your athlete
Ice sports combine balance, lateral force production and repeated efforts. Hockey also includes contact, while skating disciplines place distinct demands on jumping and control.
How I build the plan
I develop lower body strength, trunk capacity, single leg control and expressive power on dry land. I adapt conditioning to the discipline and on ice workload. I complement technical coaching; training does not eliminate contact injury risk.
I assess the individual first, then adapt exercises, resistance and progression to age, development, training experience, sport schedule and response to training. Foundations serve kindergarten through grade 4, Development grades 5 through 8, and Performance grades 9 through 12. These stages guide the conversation; readiness guides the actual work.
Coaching parents can follow
I teach technique, track development, share home practice and communicate training priorities with parents. My approach draws on exercise science and research informed youth development principles. Training supports physical preparation and aims to reduce modifiable injury risks; no program can prevent every injury. Pain, injury and return to sport decisions need an appropriate health professional.
All sports welcome. This is physical preparation that complements your sport coach and team training.
