About this plan

Program Type: General Training

Length: 4 weeks

Frequency: 4 days per week


Structured for 4 days per week, this program integrates seamlessly with in-season training and matches, allowing strikers to improve speed, agility, and shooting performance without compromising on-field readiness. You can also create extra sessions each week through the CURVA app.


About the Plan

Become a Top Striker is a 4-week program designed for field hockey strikers aiming to maximize their attacking impact. The plan focuses on building explosive speed, agile movement, and powerful shooting to consistently beat defenders and finish in the attacking circle.


Through sprint drills, plyometric exercises, agility work, and core strength training, athletes develop the acceleration, directional changes, and shot power required to be a dominant forward. Emphasis is placed on lower-body strength, hip drive, and balance to support efficient movement and repeated high-intensity efforts.


By the end of the program, players will be faster, more agile, and more powerful — capable of creating scoring opportunities and finishing decisively under pressure.
