🏅 THE OLYMPIC EDGE | NOVEMBER 3 SHADOW DAY! 🏒

Two Elite Sports Careers. One Exclusive Experience.

GForce Sports Academy is bringing Olympic-level experience to the ice for an extraordinary Shadow Day featuring Jan Hejda, 2010 Winter Olympian, World Championship Gold Medalist, and 627-game NHL veteran, alongside Tom Anderson, U.S. National Team speed skater, Olympic Trials competitor, and 2024 U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee Developmental Coach of the Year!

Coach Anderson leads the legendary Northbrook Speed Skating Club, a program founded in 1952 that has produced more than 20 Olympians and built a reputation as a pipeline to the Olympics! His national coaching award recognizes excellence across BOTH Summer and Winter Olympic sports. Our athletes will have the exclusive opportunity to train with Coach Anderson on the ice, focusing on speed generation, explosive acceleration, skating mechanics, and efficiency, applying elite speed skating principles to hockey performance.

Following training, parents are invited to join Jan and Tom for The Olympic Mindset: Work Ethic, Discipline & the Pursuit of Excellence, an inside look at the dedication, resilience, and habits required to compete at the highest levels of sport.

This is more than a Shadow Day. It’s an opportunity to experience the GForce Sports Academy difference through elite athletic development, sports performance training, and academics, while learning from individuals who understand what it takes to pursue excellence.
