Hemsworth Strength & Wellness is extremely excited to announce its partnership with Zulie's Goalie Academy. I have known Colin Zulianello for a few years now and he has always been someone who I felt could excel at anything he did. Lucky for goaltenders, he has stuck with what he knows best: Teaching & Goaltending. His goaltending academy is very on par with my philosophies of training as he hires VERY qualified and current goaltending instructors and has a very impressive 1 instructor to every 2.5 participant ratio.
Specific off-ice conditioning is something that they feel is missing at the team level and Hemsworth Strength & Wellness will be providing this. I will be releasing a series of articles relating to the importance and application of goalie-specific off-ice training in the near future. Again, we are very excited to be teaming up with Colin and Zulie's Goalie Academy and look forward to providing goaltenders around the Northwestern Ontario area with an extremely well-rounded integrative training approach.
I also wanted to give you a review of the past week and the public presentations that I was lucky enough to give. The Thunder Bay 55+ Center asked me to give a presentation on kettlebell training and their application to older adults. It was a great turnout and a nice intro to the class that I will be running in April. It will be an intro to kettlebell training and will run twice a week for 4 weeks starting April 4th. For more information, you can contact the Thunder Bay 55+ Center and they will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
After the presentation I was interviewed by Shaw Cable and the interview will be airing sometime this week on Channel 10 (Thunder Bay region) as part of "The Daily" loop that airs over and over. So, eventually, you might get sick of me!
Later on Tuesday, myself and physiotherapist Leah Boeckermann-Belanger presented to the Metre Eaters running group on Injury Prevention and Strength Training for Running Performance. Leah did a fantastic job talking about many factors that contribute to overuse injuries as well as informing the group on the Functional Movement Screen that she uses to screen for future injury. I talked on many of the myths associated with strength training and runners, as well as touched on the latest research linking proper strength training with running performance. All in all it was a great evening with many intelligent questions asked.
Lastly, I just wanted to let everyone know that the spring sections of both Building a Strong Foundation and Lift Strong classes are now up on the website and open for registration. The response has been great for both classes with 2 sections sold out very quickly for the last set. Check out www.hemsworthstrength.com for info and registration!
Thanks for reading and have a great week!
Paul Hemsworth
