Wolverine Speed Skating Tips:
To Make You Faster and Stronger
Both Physically and Mentally

  • GOING back to the basics at the beginning of a competitive season is sure to make one better in all relms in our sport. This along with entensity will start you off at the top of your game from where you left off the season before.
  • Off Skates Training is important for everyone but not everyone is comfortable in doing the same type of off skates training. Figure out what works for you, Jogging, Ridding, Exercises, the gym, yoga, walking, Swimming or even school / city sports can enhance and improve you in all areas of your skating.




  • Feeling the pressure at practice, feel even worse when competing? Are your FEARS stopping you from reaching your goals. Is your coach, parents, friends, your negative self driving you crazy? Then you have to read this.. .......... "FEAR: A look Within".


















  • From a Wolverine Champion from the past, Theresa Cliff, Theresa Cliff Ryan had this to say on THE QUALITIES NEEDED FOR SUCCESS: The most important tips & tricks to me aren't very technical, but I think of them as building blocks for success. It's what coaches have been saying for years, HARD WORK, DETERMINATION, and PERSEVERANCE. You need to have these three qualities. At national and international levels natural talent alone just won't do it.  
       
HARD WORK: Doing every training session, making it to every practice, skating through the finish, doing the little extras, giving it 100%, and NO COMPLAINING!

DETERMINATION: You have to want it; you have to have heart and guts.

PERSEVERANCE: When you're doing your training and your 3-4 weeks into it, and you have to get up at 6:00am before work or school to do it, or have an injury, this is where perseverance comes in. These are the things I  live by in everything I do. If you train hard and use these building blocks you can achieve greater success in anything you do in life.
