Team of "Under-Agers" Over-Achieves in Pre-Season Tournament
"We were looking for a sport-specific training plan for our team - and we found exactly what we were looking for...Your program, mixed with the hard work and dedication of our players, allowed us to finish as runners-up in our pre-season tournament against players 2 or 3 years older. We can't wait to see what happens once the new season begins."

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 any young player 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

“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.”

“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.”
