On episode #105 of the Hockey Strength Podcast and episode #7 of the SCAPH Alumni Series, Mike Potenza and David Rosales interview Matt Nichol.
Matt is the owner of Paragenix Systems Inc, the Director of Player Health and Performance with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, founder of Biosteel sports, and more.
In this episode, we discuss Matt's varying influences from nutrition, to powerlifting, to football, and how all those different perspectives contributed to his development as a coach. We spend a lot of time focusing on Matt's offseason hockey training group and how over the years he's built a powerful culture into it that keeps players coming back. Finally we touch on generalization vs specialization, advice for young coaches, and the controversial role of internships.
