From Other Strength and Conditioning Experts:
National Team Strength Coach Touts:
“Kim’s training programs...are the highest quality of training available...and
completely athlete-friendly!”

“Kim is simply one of the best and brightest hockey-specific strength and conditioning
coaches Canada has to offer. Kim's background as an elite hockey player, passionate
coach and academic researcher make her as qualified as you can get.
I can confidently recommend Kim's training programs to anyone knowing that they will
receive the highest quality of training available.

Throughout my 15 year career as a coach and as the Strength and Conditioning
Coordinator for a major university, I have found that most young athletes have not
developed the fundamentals they need to excel. This compromises their ability to learn
new skills and hinders their long-term development. When athletes address these
critical needs, they decrease their risk of injury and improve their ability to deal with the
physical demands of the game at the next level.

Kim has put together a tool that is essential for the development of all young athletes,
not only in hockey, but in all sports. The program is completely athlete-friendly - it
addresses all the common questions and concerns about player development and is
presented in a simple format with clear descriptions and pictures of every exercise.

Every dedicated coach and determined young athlete owes it to themselves to invest in
their future by following a program such as this.”

The Guru of Athlete Development names Kim as
“One of the Greatest Youth Coaches in the World”
“I had the honour of training Kim back in the mid-90's when she was a talented young
hockey player - full of ambition, drive and passion. Over ten years and thousands of
athletes later, Kim remains as the most memorable young athlete I ever had the
pleasure of working with.

It is the same qualities she possesses athletically that make her one of the greatest
youth coaches in the world today. Kim's intelligence is beyond impressive and she
aspires to learn as much about both the philosophical aspects of coaching, as well as
the scientific aspects of conditioning, on a level that is equal or greater than any coach I
currently know throughout my entire international network.

The ambition, drive and passion that she exhibits as an athlete and the intelligence and
conscientiousness that she carries through her professional pursuits are truly inspiring.
To be trained and coached by Kim should be viewed as nothing less than an absolute
honour.”
Brian Grasso
Executive Director & Founder, International Youth Conditioning Association


From Hockey Coaches & Parents:
An amazing resource for players, coaches, and parents!
“As a high-performance coach, I have been privileged to work with many elite athletes
throughout my career and the exercises included in this program are the same or similar
to those used in university, national team, and NHL training programs. I highly
recommend the Kim’s programs to any player and team looking to reach the next level -
and beyond.”

Patrick Carew, Assistant Coach,

2008 Novice C Provincial Champions


“Kim provided our team with current and relevant information which our players
immediately put to use during pre-game preparations. Her approach was very
professional and I feel the instruction our players received will have a significant
influence on how they prepare for all future athletic competitions.”
Marty McNally
Head Coach, Cambridge Jr Fury (Provincial Women’s Hockey League)
Assistant Coach, 2007 U18 Team Ontario - Blue


“I was able to attend a session of Kim's about proper off-ice training and found her to be
an informative and motivational teacher. She broke down the exercises for us and gave
some examples of "fun" techniques to introduce to our novice players. I use her pre-game warm-up with my team (as well as for my own games) and have noticed a real
improvement both my players’ and my own skating and agility.
I would definitely recommend attending one of Kim's clinics and plan to myself when
she comes back into town.”

Coach, Burlington Girls’ Novice hockey team
