What’s the difference between training and practicing?

Whether an athlete is competing in a recreational capacity or has eyes set on earning a college scholarship, training and practicing need to be incorporated in their field hockey regimen. Training and practicing may seem the same but they are quite different.

Practicing is a useful tool for helping an athlete maintain or improve specific sport related skills. Practicing involves doing an activity over and over again until it becomes second nature. For example, an athlete may practice a certain play over and over again so they don’t have to think about it when they are on the field. Field hockey shooting drills and passing drills are all examples of skill specific practice. Practice is great for maintaining your field hockey skills while training focuses on growth and being a physically complete athlete.

Training improves upon physical abilities and techniques that are needed for the athlete to perform at their best. Growing muscle mass, gaining greater endurance, and increasing speed are all ways to train for increased performance. Field hockey athletic training consists of drills such as runs, sprints, resistance training, and strength training. Developing strength and speed through our custom athletic programs results in huge performance gains on the field.
