2016 Highlights

Personal Statement

I grew up in a hockey family – my dad coached and my brother and I played. I started skating when I was four years old and I’ve lived in a hockey rink ever since. I’ve grown to love the game of hockey and I know that my goal is to play at the highest level possible. I currently play for the Aberdeen Lady Cougars, the U19 South Dakota Girls National Team, and the AAA Minnesota Mustangs summer hockey team. I am dedicated toward being a college athlete – along with skating, I work with a strength and agility coach 2-3 times a week. Some of my biggest strengths include my desire to dig in the corners, be a physical presence, and make plays on both ends of the ice. I want to attend a college where I can be challenged to grow both athletically and academically. I want a university where I can play college hockey at the highest level of competition while earning a degree in Biology so that I can practice as a small animal Veterinarian.

Training

Strength, Speed and Agility Training

Running Treadmill to analyze and improve mechanics. Lengthen and quicken stride, to improve speed and become more agile. Increasing speeds and inclines, so your body gets conditioned to recover quickly from bursts of activity. Footwork drills to improve balance, agility, endurance, vertical jump, and the ability to move quickly and explosively. Core Strength Training and Balance Training with the use of weightlifting equipment, to improve my power base. Also use such power building tools like medicine balls, balance balls, balance boards and exercise bands.
