ELITE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE | EDINA, MN

Empowers Performance goes beyond traditional strength and conditioning. We combine NHL-level coaching, experience, individualized programming, objective performance testing, and recovery resources to create a comprehensive athlete development experience. Rather than putting every athlete through the same workout, we evaluate their individual needs and develop a plan designed to improve the physical qualities that matter most for their sport, position, age, and long-term goals. Our focus isn't simply on getting athletes stronger. Its on helping them become better-prepared and more resilient athletes.

Athletes can benefit from age-appropriate physical development well before they begin traditional weight training. For younger athletes our emphasis is on movement quality, coordination, stability, body control, speed mechanics, and foundational strength. As athletes mature, their training progresses based on their individual development, physical readiness, and training experience. The goal is to build a strong foundation early and develop it progressively over time.

Yes. Individualization is a central part of our development philosophy. We consider each athlete’s age, training experience, physical abilities, sport demands, competitive schedule, and long-term goals when designing their program. As athletes progress, their training is adjusted to reflect their development and changing needs.

The off-season provides an important opportunity to prioritize physical development without the same competitive demands of the hockey season. This is when athletes can dedicate more time to developing strength, speed, power, and overall athletic capacity. Our off-season programs are designed to build the physical qualities that support improved performance and prepare athletes for the demands of the upcoming season.

Training frequency depends on the athlete’s age, experience, goals, competitive schedule, and recovery needs. Some athletes benefit from training multiple times per week, while others require a more limited schedule during periods of heavy competition. Our coaches help determine an appropriate training frequency that supports progress while accounting for the athlete’s overall workload.

As hockey players advance, the game becomes faster and more physically demanding. Skill development remains essential, but athletes need the physical capabilities to execute those skills against increasingly competitive opponents. A structure training program helps develop speed, strength, power, movement efficiency, and physical resilience. At Empowers. we help athletes build the physical foundation needed to support their on-ice development and prepare for the demands of higher levels of hockey.

No. We work with athletes at different stages of development, from motivated youth players to high school, junior, collegiate, and professional athletes. What matters most is a willingness to learn, work consistently, and commit to improving. Our coaching and programming are adapted to each athlete’s current abilities and goals.

Advancing in hockey requires more than skill alone. As competition increases, athletes must be prepared to handle greater speed, strength, physical contact, and training demands. We identify the physical qualities an athlete needs to improve and develop a structured plan to address them. Through individualized training, objective assessments, experienced coaching, and consistent development, we help athletes prepare physically for the demands of their next level of competition. While no training program can guarantee advancement, we believe intentional preparation gives athletes a stronger foundation for pursuing their goals.

Yes. Physical development shouldn’t stop when the hockey season begins. Without an appropriate training stimulus, athletes may lose some of the strength and power developed during the off-season. Our in-season programs account for practices, games, travel, fatigue, and recovery needs. The goal is to maintain important physical qualities, manage training demands, and continue development when appropriate without unnecessarily adding to an athlete’s workload.

Absolutely. Our training is designed to complement an athlete’s on-ice development, team practices, games, and other hockey commitments. We recognize that athletes often participate in multiple programs throughout the year. Our goal is to provide the physical development component of their overall preparation while managing training demands responsibly.
