Strength
Your force-producing ceiling. Stride tracks not just how much you lift — but how fast the bar moves.
Training
Eight qualities.
One system.
Performance is the interaction of eight qualities. Stride measures all of them — and trains the one holding you back.
Power
Hockey gives you fractions of a second to produce force. Explosive intent and velocity-based training make your strength usable.
Acceleration
Most of hockey happens in short bursts, not top speed. 10-meter testing and acceleration work win the races that matter.
Speed
Flying-10 and blue-line-to-blue-line testing separate raw speed from acceleration — and give you a measurable target, not a feeling.
Conditioning
Hockey isn't a 5K. It's repeated high-output efforts on incomplete recovery. Train to preserve performance deep into the third.
Mobility
Hips, ankles, thoracic spine — assessed, not stretched blindly. Horsepower is useless in positions you can't access.
Recovery
Training stress is managed against your game calendar, so adaptation happens on schedule — not at the cost of Saturday's game.
Nutrition
Rest day ≠ tournament day. Meals, macros, substitutions, and shopping guidance matched to your workload and goals.
The Stride Principle
Train the limiter.
Two players. Same sport. Completely different prescriptions. That's why Stride starts with measurement — not a template.
A
Strong but slow
Excellent max force. Poor acceleration. Average bar velocity. More squatting won't fix this.
- Velocity & explosive-intent work
- Acceleration & ballistic training
- Plyometrics to express the strength
B
Fast but weak
Explosive, quick, great first step — with a low force ceiling that caps everything else.
- Build maximum strength
- Raise the force-producing ceiling
- Keep the speed while adding horsepower

What's yours?
Powerful but poorly conditioned? Mobile but lacking force? Your assessments decide — not a template.
- Baseline testing builds your profile
- Stride finds the weak link
- Your program attacks it
The Season
Training that knows
what month it is.
Your game schedule is part of the prescription. Far from competition: bigger stress, bigger adaptation. Close to puck drop: readiness and movement quality, minus the fatigue. Build in the summer, sharpen in the fall, maintain through the grind, peak for playoffs.
May – Aug
Off-season
Build the engine. Strength, speed, and the biggest gains of your year.
Sep – Oct
Pre-season
Convert summer strength to ice speed. Tryout-ready conditioning.
Nov – Feb
In-season
Maintain, recover, stay out of the trainer's room. Short, smart sessions.
Mar – Apr
Playoffs
Peak when it matters. Taper the load, sharpen the details.
It starts with measurement
Your game, measured.
Vertical jump. 10-meter acceleration. Flying-10. Blue-line-to-blue-line. Bar velocity. Mobility screens. Your assessments build an Explosiveness Score and Pure Speed profile — then retesting closes the loop: assess, train, reassess, adapt.

Your watch knows
if it's working.
Apple Watch brings game data into the system — heart rate, movement, speed, shift activity — alongside the stats you log: goals, assists, plus/minus. Training performance meets hockey performance, so the question isn't "did you finish your workout?" It's "did it make you better?"

Questions
Asked in every
locker room.
What is Stride?
A hockey performance system, not a workout library. Stride measures your speed, explosiveness, strength, and mobility to build a performance profile, identifies what's limiting your game, prescribes training to fix it, and adapts as you retest and improve.
How is Stride different from other hockey training apps?
Most apps hand every athlete the same four-week program. Stride trains the limiter: a strong-but-slow player gets velocity, acceleration, and plyometric work; a fast-but-weak player builds their force ceiling. Same sport, different athlete, different prescription.
What does Stride measure?
Standardized assessments including vertical jump, 10-meter acceleration, flying-10 speed testing, blue-line-to-blue-line skating speed, strength and bar-velocity data, and hip, ankle, and spinal mobility. Together these build your Explosiveness Score and Pure Speed profile.
Does Stride train around my game schedule?
Yes. Stride treats your hockey calendar as part of the prescription: far from competition means bigger training stress and adaptation; close to puck drop means readiness, movement quality, and less fatigue. The rule: don't win the workout and lose the game.
Does Stride work with Apple Watch?
Yes. Apple Watch data — heart rate, movement, speed, and shift activity — combines with your manually entered stats like goals, assists, and plus/minus to connect training performance with actual hockey performance.
