Our Athletes: Behind the Scenes of Training and Preparation

Every player knows — performance isn’t just about match day. It’s built in the hours of practice, the early mornings, and the quiet focus before the whistle blows.

At Woven Carbon Products, we’re proud to support athletes who put in the work long before the crowd arrives. Here’s a look behind the scenes at how our players prepare, train, and use our sticks to bring their best to every game.

Strength, Speed, and Skill

Training sessions are where champions are made. Our athletes focus on building core strength, speed, and stick control — using equipment they trust completely.

From drag flick drills to sprint repetitions, our Woven Carbon sticks deliver the same reliable feel session after session — so players can push their limits without worrying about their gear.

“You can tell the difference in every touch — the feedback through the stick is instant,” - says one of our university-level athletes.

Precision in Every Touch

Hockey is all about fine control.That’s why our sticks are designed for consistency and response — every pass, trap, and deflection matters.

During training, our athletes often switch between different models — comparing feel, balance, and stiffness — and feeding that feedback directly to our design team. It’s a constant loop of player insight → product improvement → performance on the pitch.

Training in All Conditions

From summer tournaments to freezing winter mornings, commitment doesn’t stop for the weather. Our sticks are engineered to perform in all conditions — the woven carbon layers prevent softening or flex loss, even in damp environments.

That reliability means our athletes can train year-round with full confidence in their equipment — no matter what the forecast says.

Focus and Mindset

Physical skill is only half the game. Our athletes emphasise mental preparation — focus, recovery, and self-belief. The best players don’t just train their bodies; they train their minds to stay sharp, calm, and adaptable under pressure.

We’re proud that our sticks support that mindset — offering reliability that lets players trust their tools and focus on their game.
