As a player and coach, Herb saw Europeans using dryland training to develop skills and athleticism - even the youngest beginners. He was struck by their integrity, hard work and the results of their training. 'The Czechs have so many players and so few arenas, they even teach skating off-ice." Brooks said, "but the best plan includes on-ice and off-ice workouts to create synergy in the training."
