Each athlete will begin the summer with Mobility Assessments and Performance Assessments to create a measurable starting point, and undergo periodic reassessment to gauge performance and program effectiveness. Acumen Performance is looking forward to guiding you through the entire off season from start to finish. We work closely as a team, our Athletic Therapists/Strength & Conditioning Coaches use evidence based training and proper periodized plans to help you achieve your best off season yet.

Off Season training allocates proper time to improve muscle imbalances that are created during a hockey player’s season. We spend quality time focusing on mobility, flexibility, strength, speed and conditioning. We target the whole body for muscle re-education to help reduce risk of injury or overuse issues. This is how we prepare athletes for rigorous tryouts and on ice competition.

In Season training accommodates the athlete and team’s schedule and demands to offer proper recovery and strength adaptation. Studies show that when incorporating in season training we can not only reduce risk of injury but also enhance individuals performance throughout a season. We want to focus on continuous growth and not just maintenance.

If you are a hockey player, our team of professionals will design a customized training program that is specific to your position on the ice, tailored to your individual needs. Our team includes Private Orthopedic Surgeons, and experienced and Certified Athletic Therapists and Strength and Conditioning Coaches. Combined, we have many years of experience and knowledge with not only hockey players, but a multitude of different sports from the amateur to professional level.

At Acumen we have options:

In person training sessions at Acumen Sport and Shoulder Clinic/Acumen Performance in either Edmonton or Calgary locations.

Virtual assessment and training via PUSH Pro training app.

Our remote training app will provide the hockey player the unique ability to have their programs delivered to them no matter where they are, and having the program tailored to their specific needs for the situation they are in week by week. We are aware of the ever changing hockey schedule, time commitments, and injuries that can arise. We are adaptable on the go with programming as needed.

Our team with Visonary Sports and Development works with high-performing athletes across Canada, and we focus on partnerships with individuals & companies who radiate energy & passion for what they do. That is Acumen without a doubt. Knowledgeable, professional, dedicated and transparent through the entire process. We teamed up with Acumen to bring the best to the table for our athletes, and we have received so much more. Not only have they gone above and beyond for our young men & women, but they also did so for myself. I began training with Acumen focused on regaining my old form, and I’ve lost 18 pounds in 6 weeks and rebuilt my strength, flexibility and endurance. Their approach is detailed and customized to the individual, and I feel confident the results our athletes experience will match my own. Our entire company is thrilled with the partnership working alongside Acumen and we are very optimistic moving forward because of their love for what they do.
