Can’t help to feel blessed to have the opportunities to teach resilience and connect with awesome people each and every time.
The feedback and inspired conversations charge me up.
Take some time this weekend to put the devices away and connect for real. And thank yourself!

Well that’s 42 years in the bag. First pic is from a couple weeks ago as we didn’t get any as a family today. But we had a great Port Hope birthday. Ganaraska Forest hike, Gusto for lunch, and watching the salmon run. Last pic shows my two training partners as we finished the day with Mount Trinity sprints. Perfect ending. It was a 90hr work week and I say that not to brag but that I missed the family too much so family time is all I wanted for my birthday.
Weekend started off great as well, having the honour of getting to help run some testing for a hockey training camp with some very motivated athletes. This past year some of my favourite moments have been afforded to me from working with and and all the great kids that come through the doors.
Also a huge thank you to all those amazing people that walk through the doors of Walton Resilience and trust me with their physical and mental strength. It’s a dream come true to get those opportunities.
Major life changing moves are just on the horizon so looking forward to this next trip around the sun more than ever. Let’s get it.
PS. Little less caffeine and cell phones this year but more on that later.

Got to attend hockey high performance summit last weekend and it did not disappoint! Every speaker was an expert in their field and what they bring to the hockey performance world is at an elite level!
When you coach kids and people invest/trust you to guide them you owe it to both the student and yourself to continue to learn and seek out the best practices.
Can’t wait to add to and tweak some of our systems to raise our players to the next level. Let’s keep pushing!

Summer 2024 brought with it many blessings and the partnership with Gillian Davis was one of the best. Finding someone with the same singular goal, to help every student optimize their potential, was a dream come true. We couldn’t be happier with how things went and are looking forward to continuing to improve the athletes throughout the season.
It’s important to remember that to lose new speed and strength over the season makes for a complete start over come the spring. If you’re looking to gain that edge with your skating, speed, power, mental focus and strength then we guarantee you can find it with us. Don’t hesitate to reach out!
