Strength Training for Ice Hockey Players
April 19, 2009 by admin
It gives me great pleasure to introduce yet another new feature to CoachChic.com, as well as another great contributing writer.
Scott Umberger is the Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at Robert Morris University. He is also the owner of Umberger Performance which specializes in training hockey players.
Scott has worked with high school, college (athletes from 20 different NCAA schools), and professional athletes (from the NHL, ECL, MLL, MLB, MLB, NFL and NBA), 2 Hobey Baker Trophy Finalists (top 3 and top 10), a top 10 NCAA scorer in Men’s Hockey, a member of the USA U-22 Woman’s Team, 3 All-Americans (track, swimming, hockey), a Biletnikoff Trophy Winner (top DI Football Receiver), FINA Master World Championship Qualifying Swimmer, ECAC/IC4A qualifying track hurdler.
He has recently ventured into power lifting, having dead lifted 625 and bench pressed 420 in his second power lifting meet at a drug free bodyweight of 198.
Scott can be reached through his website at www.scottumberger.com, email at scottumebrger@gmail.com, Facebook, Twitter, or Myspace.
Look for Strength Training for Ice Hockey Players to appear regularly in its own area under Highlight Reel Skills.
I hope everyone is as psyched as I am to welcome Scott Umberger aboard!
