Great athletes are made from discipline, hard work, effort, and sacrifice - with Travis Martell I Love Kelowna
-
- Imprenditorialità
Travis Martell with Martell Elite Fitness is an Edmonton, Alberta native by birth. He moved to Kelowna, British Columbia at a young age where he played hockey for the local teams from the moment he could skate. Growing up, he always heard the same thing from his coaches "you need to improve your foot speed and strength."
Looking back, he realized he needed to start his off-ice training at a younger age with the help of a trainer or knowledgeable professional in order to give himself the best chance on the ice.
The unique combination of strength, power, speed, agility, and endurance hockey players must have in order to succeed in their sport differs from any other sport. When training the cardiovascular system, more emphasis needs to be placed on the anaerobic system while still maintaining a high level of aerobic capacity. This balance between the two systems allows better recovery between each shift in hockey and a full recovery after each game.
Over the last 10+ years, Travis has worked with young athletes one-on-one, in camps (Edge of Excellence, SD23 Hockey Canada Skills Academy, and Sicamous Hockey School) and even online, to help them achieve their personal fitness goals. In 2008 he became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength Conditioning Association (NSCA).
