Is this a good workout for a hockey player?!
Question: I just designed a new workout plan, and was wondering if it was good, :
Day 1- weight train entire body intensely (core, biceps, quadriceps, triceps, calves, traps, pecs, deltoids, forearms, back) + Long, slow jog
Day 2- Plyometrics and Sprints
And then alternate days for five days a week
BTW I'm 15

It's good. Your training week is pretty intense and i think 4 training days (2x resistance training, 2x cardio) is probably sufficient. Your cardio plan is good but I wouldn't do a long jog on weights days. Maybe you could try day1: jog, day 2: weights, day 3: rest, day 4: weights, day 5: plyo, sprints, day 6 and 7: rest and if you feel you need more, add some days.
I don't know your exercise selection, but try to make it functional. With your weights training don't include lots of single joint exercises (leg extension, leg curls) and vary some of the exercises. For example, one day you might do bent rows, the next you could do pull ups or something. Also, since there is a lot of running and single leg activity in hockey it makes sense to include some single leg training to your workout. Single leg squats, single leg press, lateral step ups and lunges are some you could include.
yeah that sounds pretty good. make sure ur do ur plyos before sprints and before streching, but after a warmup. speaking of which i did some burpees, clap pushups, tuck jumps, and medicine ball throws earlier. awsomeness
