P.K. Subban Hockey Dryland Training Success Story

“Hey, guys. It’s P.K. Subban here.

This summer was the first year that I participated in the Athlete Activation System program that was put together by Clance Laylor.

Now that I’m 45 games into the season, I can talk about the differences that I’ve seen in my game and the differences that it’s made for me in a positive way on the ice, in terms of, my explosiveness and how long I can sustain that power and strength on the ice.

I think that if I continue to do this program like I’ve been doing during the season, as well as in the off-season, I know that it’s going to continue to make a difference in my game.

You could just see the difference between myself and other athletes especially in back to back game situations being able to bring that same level of intensity.

Like I said, that sustained strength and speed every shift is the biggest difference, in my opinion, between the great players and the good players in the league.

I’m looking forward to this offseason again of doing the Athlete Activation System program once again.”

“LPS is a big reason why my game is where it’s been for the past couple of years… Back to the short (2012-13 lockout) season when I won the Norris Trophy, I remember how I felt that year and every year since then. It’s probably made the biggest difference in my career.”

P.K. Subban Started Early, But It Was His Mom’s Idea

His mother (Maria) was an ex-sprinter and a smart woman.

She once beat Angella Issajenko (who went on to earn a silver medal in the 1984 Olympics for Canada).

Through her research of all the sports training facilities in Canada, she decided to send her son to us.

P.K. started with us when he was about 15/16 years old when his mother felt that what his team was doing was inadequate.

He came in with all sorts of shoulder issues, wrist issues, and a weak lower back.

Not to mention that he was overweight, slow, and weak.

We remapped his body in just 14 weeks.

He would take an hour-long bus ride each way, everyday to the gym.

On the days he couldn’t make it, he would beg to train on Sundays to make it up.

Or come in twice the following day.

He made absolutely no excuses not to do his program.

When it came to the combine, he was the top performer, by far.

He got drafted to the Belleville Bulls (OHL), then to Montreal Canadiens (NHL) in 2007.

Awarded the James Norris Memorial Trophy.

Signed a $72-million dollar contract.

Imagine you can be so great that people will pay you millions to play a game you would easily play for free.
