Strength and Conditioning

Building Faster, Stronger, More Durable Athletes

Pottie Method Strength & Conditioning is the performance foundation behind everything we do at Pottie Method Training. Our program is led by Shane Pottie, an elite performance coach with over 14 years of experience in personal and athlete development, including serving as a Strength Coach for Team Nova Scotia in Olympic Weightlifting. Shane has trained both individual athletes and full teams across multiple levels of sport, bringing professional standards, proper progression, and long-term athlete development principles into every session.

This is hockey-specific performance training, not general fitness. Our athletes build real speed, power, strength, endurance, and durability in a safe, structured, and highly supervised environment that families trust and athletes are excited to return to. We focus equally on performance and injury prevention to keep athletes strong, healthy, and confident all season long.

- Explosive skating power & first-step acceleration
- Strength for puck battles, contact & physical confidence
- Core stability, balance & coordination
- Speed, endurance & shift-to-shift recovery
- Mobility, flexibility & joint health
- Discipline, confidence & work ethic

Our Injury Prevention focus includes:

Strength & Conditioning Small Group Bundle (12 Sessions)

DESCRIPTION:

The Strength & Conditioning Small Group Bundle is a high-performance, hockey-specific training option built for athletes who want more individual coaching, tighter structure, and faster results. This is not generic gym training or random workouts. Every session is designed with intent to develop real strength, speed, movement quality, and durability that carries directly onto the ice.

Athletes are coached, corrected, and progressed throughout each session. We emphasize proper mechanics, smart loading, accountability, and injury prevention to ensure athletes build strength without compromising movement quality or long-term health. This level of detail allows players to train at a high intensity while still receiving hands-on coaching within a small group setting.

With flexible scheduling and capped group sizes, this bundle is ideal for athletes looking to accelerate development, clean up movement patterns, and build a stronger physical foundation within the Pottie Method performance system.

- Hockey-specific strength & power development
