Mark Richardson
I have been playing pro hockey now for over 23 years, and for the Great Britain national team for over 20 years.
The experiences of playing for so long have been invaluable, and to still be playing the game at my age, so much has been down to my dedication to my training during the season and in the off-season.
Over the years training has changed, and my passion has been to give myself the chance to keep playing at as high a standard as possible for as long as possible. I gained my qualifications in personal training to further educate myself, and I believe that how you train has a huge impact on performance and longevity.

I have had the honour of playing pro hockey now for 8 years, and I have also represented the Great Britain national team through all age groups.
I moved away at 16 to play at the top level in the Swedish junior system for 4 years, and I have implemented a lot of how we were pushed in that environment on a daily basis into my training and lifestyle as a professional athlete.
I want to help other professionals and young prospects who strive to get the most out of their careers. I believe training hard is important, but training smart is essential.
