"Joining the YEA Program was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my hockey career!
Coaches Joshua and Mariah helped me build 35+ pounds of lean muscle and completely level up my nutrition, hydration, and recovery habits.
That edge helped me go from AAA in New York, to starting at Brunswick Prep, and ultimately signing in the OHL with the Peterborough Petes.
Thank you for being in my corner every step of the way!"
JACK SCHIERAU

Coaches Joshua and Mariah encourage me to stay consistent with my nutrition weekly, which helped me gain 15 pounds of muscle and supercharged my energy levels.
I learned about meal timing, healthy supplementation and proper nutrition habits for enhanced hockey performance and I saw the difference in my game as I played his BEST playoff hockey.
Team YEA continues to play a big role in my development. I highly recommend their Program.”
