## Watch the recording and learn how Minnesota Wild aims to maintain optimal performance all season long.

The NHL season is a marathon, not a sprint, and with each team playing 82 games in a regular season, one of the biggest challenges for coaches and players is knowing how to maintain a high performance all season long.

 

In this Firstbeat webinar, special guest Matt Harder, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at Minnesota Wild, will join us live to discuss how he uses Firstbeat Sports to help manage training load during the NHL season in order to maintain optimal performance, avoid injuries, and support long-term player development.

 

During the webinar, Matt will also take a deep dive into how he organizes the Firstbeat data, how he is able to successfully communicate and deliver this information to coaches and players, and why this is so important to the team’s success.

“Finding consistent practice days in an   
NHL season is difficult. Using Firstbeat´s   
workload measures allow us to choose   
the appropriate dosing of intensity for   
the limited amount of practices during   
the season.”
