How Core Stix Was Born!

As an experienced fitness professional with a strong passion for hockey, it was a natural progression for me to become an NHL strength coach. In 2004, I joined the Los Angeles Kings as their Strength and Conditioning Coach, working with top-level athletes to improve their game. However, I found that traditional training equipment did not effectively build the kind of functional core strength required by hockey players, which prompted me to develop a training product that mimicked real-performance movements.

In the same year, I met a NASA engineer who shared my vision, and we developed Core Stix, a versatile and innovative training product. My understanding of the importance of core and functional strength deepened, and I realized that Core Stix could benefit not only high-performance athletes but also physical therapy patients and seniors seeking to maintain their quality of life.

I brought Core Stix with me to the Pittsburgh Penguins, where I served as the Strength and Conditioning Coach for eight years, contributing to numerous victories and a Stanley Cup win in 2009. The next 7 years split between the Detroit Red Wings and the New Jersey Devils, Core Stix surpassed my expectations and proved versatile for high-performance athletes, physical therapy patients, and senior living adults globally, including Australia, Brazil, Europe, South Korea, and Thailand. As an athlete-tested product, I'm proud to share it worldwide.
