Dedication to Training
"Another prime example of extreme dedication to training is Boston Bruins forward Jaromir Jagr. At 41 years of age this future first ballot Hockey Hall of Fame freak of nature is still playing a lot of quality minutes at the highest level in hockey. Recently during the overtime games in the 2013 Eastern Conference and Stanley Cup Finals, Jagr seemingly got better as the game went on. In fact what happened was that Jagr’s play stayed the same while everyone else fatigued and slowed down.
Arguably Jagr trains more than any other player in the National Hockey League. Early in his career with the Pittsburgh Penguins a strong commitment to training was instilled into him by Hall of Fame player Paul Coffey. In 20+ years playing professional hockey it has served Jagr well as he keeps going in a game that punishes aging.
His workouts are legendary. Following games Jagr will put on the weight vest and do skating drills (he recently did this after the overtime games in the Stanley Cup Final). Sometimes he will perform a combination of plyometrics, quick feet drills, various leg exercises and sprints in the hallways while all his teammates have showered, dressed and left the building. Other times he puts weights on the end of stick does a variety of dryland drills and movements to train the shoulders, wrists, and grip. Consistently day in and day out Jagr performs workouts that leave many in the NHL shaking their heads at how dedicated he is with his fitness."
