FACTUALLY BETTER
The SEDIAHOCKEY SlackBoard by nature of its design offers a variable feedback loop to the neuromuscular system that results in an increased level of demand and stress that drives adaptation in a positive manner for the athlete.

These include, but are not limited to:
A narrow base of support when aligned along the length of the foot mimics the contact a hockey athlete has with their playing surface. This creates opportunities for extreme specificity to the sport of hockey.

A variable counterforce to athlete-applied forces in a closed kinetic chain (CKC) movement system that requires the nervous system to properly modulate force production. This also creates an environment that aligns with sport-specific principles: Hockey players do not compete against static opponents or in a completely stable environment.

The line creates tremendous challenges for the neuromuscular system as it attempts to maintain proper upright positioning where the athletes’ center of mass can remain in a functional position inside their base of support. (Which is moving and can be extremely narrow – Just like hockey!) This results in a high frequency of Musculoskeletal adjustments that are being run by the athletes’ nervous system. Every one of these is a repetition for the nervous system to succeed - stay up and strong. These result in advanced opportunities for adaptation. When you examine every muscle involved, it’s ultimately thousands of smaller exercises during each one repetition.

The board is safe and appropriate for athletes of all ages.

Initially, all athletes will be challenged with just the ability to maintain simple athletic postures on the line. Athletes are not compromised with anything beyond their body weight until they achieve more advanced levels.

Bodyweight exercises are safe for all ages. Age-appropriate loading of the musculoskeletal system with weights beyond body weight does come with risk which is eliminated with the SEDIAHOCKEY SlackBoard. The when and how to do that is athlete-dependent. The ability to introduce progressive challenges without adding the risks associated with outside resistance in the form of weights is a risk-mitigated way to increase demand on the neuromuscular system.

The board is VERY cost-effective, is BETTER TRAINING, and more importantly, it is FUN!

In addition to costing less than most hockey sticks, the SEDIAHOCKEY SlackBoard is very portable, very durable, and comes with a 2 year warranty!

FUN MATTERS! This board has proven to be incredibly fun. My family started with a single board in the house, we were forced to add a second board just to accommodate the demand for its use.

Why does fun matter? Think about what expenditures of time are competing for your child’s attention. The best fitness tool on the market isn’t worth anything if it isn’t being used.

Advanced athletes will be intrigued by the level of challenge they experience and this is likely to drive them to compete against themselves. Intermediate and novice athletes will enjoy the simplicity and discover how they are getting way more development and having fun doing it.

We know the advantages of training for hockey using the portable SEDIAHOCKEY Hockey SlackBoard creates opportunities for athletic development that will transition directly to on-ice performance in ways that other methods are less likely to provide or take much longer to.

"Rob, you and your team have done it again! I am a big proponent of strength training for young athletes and I put my sons in multiple local fitness programs. The programs were fine and my boys got a little out of each of them but they were all the same. My boys noticed the overwhelming difference just 10 minutes into the first workout on your boards. This is truly the first time they look forward to off ice training. Dan H. / Amherst, NY

"Thank you very much for your efforts to ensure each member of our team received a SEDIAHOCKEY SlackBoard. The team workouts are so fun and challenging, and every player can feel the difference. Our team will be much stronger and better as a result of these workouts!" Andrew & Lisa K. / Pittsburgh, PA
