Effective On + Off Ice Training, Using the Transfer Principle in Curling
Mimi Stevinson is a member of the Rock Creek Curling Club, Colorado. Her background in Strength and Conditioning, her certification in JOGA, and her curling experience make her a perfect instructor for curlers who are looking to improve physical fitness.
This week’s session Mimi will explore the principle of transfer and how curlers can make the most of their off-ice training and on-ice practice to improve their overall curling performance.
Topics include:
• Basics of the transfer principle.
• How coaches and trainers help curlers take what they learn about fitness and curling skills and structure their training session with the player or team.
• How training sessions on and off ice transfer to on-ice performance.
• Examples of gym to ice and practice to performance.
• Take-aways that players, coaches and trainers can use for themselves and others.
A fantastic topic that leads us into the “pre-season” for 2021-22.
Coaching Tip: “The Transfer Principle suggests that learning and performing one activity affects the performance of related skills and activities. This principle is essential for designing practice strategies that have the greatest positive impact on competitive performance. Correctly applying this principle saves valuable training time while accelerating results.”
