"Anthony has shown intense dedication to training athletes while using the most advanced techniques in his field. His thirst for cutting edge training methods drives his knowledge base. He continually researches the most recent strength and agility techniques and applies them to the individuals he trains. He accurately uses sports specific drills that promote performance enhancement and, more importantly, injury prevention. Although his sports background is ice hockey, his broad knowledge base allows him to successfully train a multitude of athletes from all sports with equal expertise and purpose."

"Anthony has been an excellent coach and resource for my son, who is seeking to improve his hockey-specific strength in order to make his high school team. Anthony is knowledgeable, encouraging, and he stays abreast of the latest training applications. He's open minded enough to change his recommendations if new information warrants it, and he's motivating enough to keep young athletes interested. I'd recommend Donskov Strength and Conditioning to athletes or active people of any age who are seeking to improve their strength and fitness level."

“Having Anthony work with our teams was a huge benefit to our kids and our program. My U18 players really took to Anthony’s passion and knowledge of hockey conditioning. The players benefited immensely from the in season maintenance program he ran for us. I can tell you his program reduced our time lost due to injury plus it had a positive influence on our game conditioning.”

Ed Gingher, Ohio AAA Blue Jackets Program Coordinator/U18 Head Coach

"Having Anthony as our strength coach has been a huge benefit to our hockey club. With his strong hockey background, Anthony targets hockey specific muscles in unique ways which keeps our athletes interested and challenged. Core muscles are essentially a hockey player's foundation and these workouts are the perfect building blocks. The results have been impressive and easy to see. Our players look and feel stronger and have also found increased flexibilty which is often overlooked. As a coach, I have also noticed a little extra self confidence on the ice from the players that excel during the workouts. These players seem more willing to engage and ultimately win many more one on one battles as a result of the workout program."

Marty Laroche, Ohio AAA Blue Jackets U 16 Head Coach

"I can't emphasize enough how important the Dryland Training we received from Donskov Conditioning was to our success this year. Our Skating, Stamina, and Power were all increased this year, leading to the winningest season in our 29 year history. We were able to maintain a high level of play throughout the entire game and be more physical due to our added strength and conditioning. I would recommend Anthony Donskov and his team at Donskov Conditioning to any team wanting to improve their chance for success."

John Graham
Head Coach, Upper Arlington High School

Dear Mr. Donskov:
"On behalf of the Westerville High School Hockey Association (WHSHA), I am writing to you.

Prior to starting our 2006-07 high school hockey season, our club had committed 22 players to attend your 6-week off-ice conditioning program. Your intense workouts took place in a very positive and fun environment where team camaraderie amongst our players was strongly encouraged.

At the start of our regular hockey season, our Varsity Warcats team enjoyed a 10 game undefeated streak that in part could be contributed to the physical preparedness of our players, and the benefit of off-ice conditioning. By season end, our club had seen its penalty minutes reduced significantly over last year due to improved strength, endurance, and decreased on-ice fatigue.

Thank you for a job well done. We are very pleased with the results, and would not hesitate to recommend your program to other organizations.

We look forward to continuing our work with you."

Douglas H. Drescher
President, WHSHA 2006-08
