We offer goalie training, puck skills training, and dryland training options for all ages. At The Lab we believe that in order for any athlete to reach their full potential there must be an innate passion for the sport he/she is participating in. We want to be part of this experience and help our athletes increase their love for their sport of choice. We know this love and passion is what will fue
l their success as they grow older and increased pressure to perform come into play. All sports are in essence "games" and we must help our younger athletes to keep this in mind as they mature. We believe that athletes succeed in a positive environment that encourages failure and rewards effort over results. Results will come as a byproduct of hard work and determination. For example, don't do 100 push ups incorrectly just to say you did 100 push ups...do 10 the right way and aim to do 15 the next time. We know that the only way to improve is to get out of your comfort zone and our coaches will help you do this. We believe in accountability. Although results are secondary we believe in the importance of measuring improvement and the role competition plays in motivating our athletes to push themselves out of their comfort zone. How do you know if you got stronger/faster if you never knew how strong/fast you were? Ongoing evaluation and testing is an importance part of our development process at The Lab. Lastly, we believe that improvement much like life is a journey. We always hold our athletes long term well being and success above any short term gain. We strive to help our athletes achieve life long success in their sport of choice which includes educating them on the importance of playing multiple sports at younger ages to avoid burnout and attain a balance in life.
