Why? Because he\u2019s passionate about instilling \u2018the fundamentals\u2019 of sport, training, and the importance of play.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether we are destined to be an elite athlete or simply want to enjoy a full life, Chris teaches\u00a0 that multi-sport learning is crucial not only to health and wellness, but to excellence in our sport of choice. He notes that the trend toward focused, single-sport training has had the side effect of diminishing young athletes\u2019 potential.\u00a0 He observes that society has shifted direction at the expense of play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really important to learn math, but play has taken a backseat. It\u2019s not about cramming schedules, it\u2019s about teaching kids the full range of play \u2013 catching a ball, basic sport rules. I\u2019ve seen many kids at 17 who don\u2019t even know which hand to put a baseball glove on. Parents will say, \u201cMy son\u2019s a hockey player. I can\u2019t take away the time from that.\u201d, but I see it like this: If they know how to play tennis, they\u2019ll probably pick up a racket if someone asks them to do it. But if a kid has focused on hockey alone, he\u2019s missed out on the joy of play. If he\u2019s used to being the very best hockey player, it can be mentally tough to play another sport for fun and not be the star.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThere are so many crucial lessons in sport. On the high end, you have a guy like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Daniel_Alfredsson\">Daniel Alfredsson<\/a>\u2014he can play ping pong\u2026 with both hands. That\u2019s how good you have to be.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot everyone is going to stay fit and healthy by jumping on a treadmill. Sport\u2014or play\u2014is the most inclusive way for young people to develop the fitness habits that will take them through life. We learn a lot from the challenges and problem solving in sports, the cooperation aspect,&nbsp; the win and the loss. You can\u2019t have that on a treadmill. Sport offers so much more than fitness alone. Most kids will never become pro athletes, but they can learn and benefit from a lifelong love for and ability to play sports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris points out that the growing \u2018business of sport\u2019 has impacted the bedrock of healthy living and training. \u201cParents are asking me about supplements, but their kid is skipping breakfast. I\u2019m a bit of a stickler about the fundamentals\u2014making good food choices, and what\u2019s in it outside of just becoming a good athlete. I don\u2019t want to see kids getting up every morning and having a protein shake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cMost Canadian kids have never been to a farm. They don\u2019t know where their food comes from. They don\u2019t know the fundamentals of these things, and it concerns me. We\u2019re getting to the point where businesses are preying on parents and kids promising shortcuts. There are no shortcuts. You have to teach your kid to work \u2013 not chase butterflies.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited to work with Dairy Farmers of Ontario because I drink milk. For me, it\u2019s a full circle to&nbsp;<em>why.&nbsp;<\/em>If I don\u2019t think it\u2019s right and my own kids aren\u2019t doing it, I\u2019m not going to get behind it. We offer chocolate milk in the Senators\u2019 change room, and the players go for it. They grew up with it. To me as a sports performance person, I like to know where my food comes from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out Chris Schwarz\u2019&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/senators\/fans\/dairy-farmers\">video series<\/a>&nbsp;on the Ottawa Senators website!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/hockeycircles.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/RCM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.sportsa.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/26210003\/RCM.png 606w, https:\/\/cdn.sportsa.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/26210003\/RCM-300x214.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Acknowledgements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HockeyCircles wishes to thank Kayla Crnic with Dairy Farmers of Ontario and milk.org. for providing links and reference material for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Schwarz&nbsp;is the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the&nbsp;Ottawa Senators, and he likes to get to young athletes early.
