Today at OnsideHockeyTraining. you’re in for a special treat. I’ve been fortunate to connect with Ryan Van Asten from Hockey Canada. Ryan is the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the National women’s hockey team as well as the conditioning coordinator for the National Luge team. Needless to say 2010 has been an exciting and busy time for Ryan. Read on as Ryan shares with us a little bit about his background to bring him to where he is adidas tubular norge , his training philosophies, with specific emphasis on hockey, what working for the National Team has been like as well as his dream team of practitioners and the best resources he has found to allow him to have had suess with his athletes. So sit back and enjoy a one on one with Ryan Van Asten. Background OnsideHockeyTraining. Where did you go to school? What made you want to do this for a living? What was your sports background? Who were some of your mentors along the way? What are some of the interesting places you've worked? Ryan Van Asten - Master of Science (Exercise and Health Physiology) - University of Calgary - Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Subject of Specialization - Life Sciences) - Queen's University, Kingston Ontario - Bachelor of Physical and Health Education - Queen's University, Kingston Ontario - Certifications: CSCS (NSCA) adidas zx flux norge , Certified Exercise Physiologist (CSEP), NCCP Level 1 Olympic Weightlifting, FMS Certified My sports background was varied as a child (i.e. hockey, soer, lacrosse adidas stan smith dame , baseball, alpine skiing, water skiing, wakeboarding, etc.) but specialized in Hockey and Lacrosse as a teenager. Eventually adidas stan smith norge , just focussing on hockey I played Provincial Jr. A in Ontario, 4 years collegiate (Queen's University), 1 year semi-professional in Germany - retiring at age 24 to peruse my graduate degree in Calgary. As a result of my sports background, dry-land training was always a part of my life and I loved every second of the training. While at Queen's University I was fortunate enough to work with and play hockey with Anthony Slater (now a major part of a pany called Athletes' Performance in the United States). Anthony (although young himself at the time) put me on a training program one summer and the results were astonishing because for the first time in my life I was on a periodized program that wasn't centred around bench press. After that I was hooked and couldn't get ahold of enough information on training - I was digesting the stuff like it was my job...one problem: it wasn't. At the time I was just finishing up my Bachelor of Science degree and wasn't sure which direction to go...this had all changed by that point, I needed to work in sports performance. So the following year I enrolled in the Bachelor of Physical and Health Education program at Queen's to bring me closer to my goals. It was in 'Phys Ed' where I met David Frost (a Mechanical engineer who also had a passion for training and biomechanics). Dave was a big guy who loved to train and knew a hell of a lot more about pretty much everything than I did - so I hung out with him a lot and since we were the old guys in a class full of 18 and 19 year olds we clicked right away. Training with Dave brought my strength to an even greater level adidas superstar dame norge , however, it was not necessarily do to the physiological aspects anymore - Dave was skilled at breaking down and assessing biomechanics and he tweaked pretty much everything I did and my strength went through the roof. This is when I realized that it is not about the exercise or the exercise selection; it's about the coaching and the implementation of the exercise in an appropriate manner that are the important factors. Evidently, today Dave is finishing up his PhD at the University of Waterloo where he is mentored by Stuart McGill (now famous in the realm of strength and conditioning). My first two mentors (and continue to be to this day) in strength and conditioning were Anthony Slater and David Frost. I then moved to Calgary and began my graduate research - working under Dr. David Smith and Dr. Stephen Norris (two of the most prominent exercise and sport physiologists in the world) my knowledge expanded even further. I was also fortunate enough to get exposure to excellent Strength and Conditioning coaches at the Canadian Sport Centre - Calgary (I am one of them now...ha)(Matt Jordan, Scott Maw, Mac Read adidas superstar 2 salg , and Matt Price) - These are guys who have training numerous Olympic and World champions in both summer and winter sports and I have learned a lot from every one of them and continue to learn from them on a daily basis. At the tail end of my Masters degree I was looking for ways to hone my coaching skills to bring me to the next level - then I ran into Mark Verstegen and Kevin Elsey (both from Athletes' Performance - although I knew Kevin from Queen's University) at an Adidas Conference at the University of Calgary. I asked them about the possibility of an internship and that got the ball rolling. So at 27 years of age, I dropped everything to move down to Pensacola Florida to do an unpaid internship at Athletes' Performance for four months. This decision turned out to be the best thing I have done in my career. At AP I learned how to coach and I learned about physical movement. Up to this point I prided myself as being an expert in the weight room - but put me on a field or track and I was lost in terms of coaching and drill progression. I had to be on my game at AP, working everyday with NFL pro-bowlers and other professional athletes and watching some of the best coaches in the nation work. I really learned the value of watching other people coach and looking at things from a number of different angles. Right before my Athletes' Performance internship was almost plete the Canadian Sport Centre - Calgary called and told me there was a job opening and the rest is history. At the same time the University of Calgary offered me a position as a lecturer in Kinesiology for a sports performance class. I lectured for on.
