At Strong Dynamics we believe details are everything. We strive to teach excellence in skating and stick work. We believe in high tempo practice, but not at the expense of quality. We are passionate about helping our students learn and excel. We believe players of all ages are capable of understanding the "why" and we always provide a "why" with each and every drill. We believe in practicing the basics just as hard as we practice advanced skills and we encourage repetition with corrections to our movements. Lastly, we believe in getting the most out of every minute on the ice and looking like a hockey player at all times. You'll often hear, "No leaning on the boards" as a reminder to our students that the only thing that should hold us up is our strength, balance and determination!

What Makes You Qualified to Coach?
I am often asked, "What is special about your teaching?" when it comes to ice hockey training. I see parents hand big bucks to coaches who are qualified only by virtue of where they have played without any regard for whether these coaches can TEACH and so impart their knowledge to their students, your children. Fact is, good players are not always good coaches. Some are, most are not.
Just as with playing hockey, COACHING and TEACHING require practice, training and lots of preparation. Some people are born to be teachers. I'm one of those people.
I am a good teacher and I have a lot of patience with my students. I am new enough at this game of hockey that I can remember what it feels like to not be able to do a particular drill or move and struggle with it. I know how to break moves down into parts to help identify weaknesses and strengths, and then help my students put the moves together, incorporate tempo and rhythm and finally speed.
I come well prepared and my lessons are well thought out. I study the work of other skilled coaches and base everything I teach on sound hockey principles. I particularly enjoy the European teaching influence which fosters the development of body and mind and helps to create a hyper-agile, thinking athlete.
I am a certified strength and conditioning specialist and fitness trainer and a registered nurse. I am a USA Hockey Level 5 certified coach, the highest level attainable. Much of what I do on the ice incorporates my health and wellness training to so that my students strengthen their bodies, develop core strength, and also improve on quickness, agility and explosiveness as they learn to negotiate any posture or weather any battle they find themselves in during a hockey game.
I believe that it takes a long time to get good at something… many hours of practice. I practicing coaching every day.
