T2T – Advanced (Train to Train)

Provincial Team – TRAIN to TRAIN (T2T) Advanced Programs (Approximate Ages: 13-16)

T2T programs are mainly intended for those skaters who have reached their “Growth Spurt” (Peak Height Velocity) and wish to refine better skills and habits for their sport.   Participation in this program expects the incorporation of both OFF ICE as well as ON ICE training.

Your success comes from YOU – It is developed from the dedication & commitment to YOURSELF to achieving YOUR GOAL(s).  There is a MENTAL COMPONENT to every one of these training sessions.

IF there is NO Mental component that “YOU” use to embrace your Commitment to improvement, what will drive you during a training session?  This development of mental skills happens ON a Daily Basis .


Train 2 Train Advanced

Since their can be a physiological spread of 4 years in chronological ages in the Training to Train development stage,  SSNB has developed a 2 tiered approach dividing this development stage into Basic (3.1)  and a more Advanced program (3.2).  Only once the 3.1 programs become easy, should you move to the 3.2 programs
These development programs are designed to include all the training windows required at this stage and to prepare you for the next stage at the Learn to Compete (L2C) Stage 4.1
