COACHES & PROFESSIONALS

"I've had the privilege of working with Tyson for many years during my professional career in the NHL, and now I'm witnessing the incredible evolution of his coaching and training methods as he guides my son on his hockey journey. Tyson has always been committed to pushing the boundaries of training methodologies, and the results have been truly remarkable.

During my time in the NHL, we trained using the methods that were prevalent at the time - rigorous strength and conditioning programs, off-season regimens, and a lot of trial and error. Those methods certainly helped me achieve success and longevity in my hockey career. However, it wasn't until my son began working with Tyson that I truly understood the potential for redefining our approach to training.

Tyson introduced my son to an innovative training philosophy based on the core principles of specificity, transfer, and adaptability. He delved deep into the intricacies of sports movements, leading to a significant transformation in our training methods. This transformation aimed to enhance the specific components of movement that truly matter in hockey.

The key to this new approach is understanding that hockey is more than just strength and power; it's about coordination, adaptability, and stability in the ever-changing dynamics of the game. Tyson has skillfully integrated the principles of motor learning into my son's training sessions, creating a seamless connection between traditional strength training and the sport's specific movement patterns.

What's most impressive is that Tyson has made these advanced training philosophies accessible to athletes of all levels, not just the pros. His scientific approach, combined with a deep understanding of the sport, has had a profound impact on my son's development, and I can only imagine how it could have benefited my own career.

In conclusion, I can confidently say that Tyson has not only transformed the way we approach hockey training but has also paved the way for athletes of all ages and levels to maximize their potential. As a former NHL player and a parent, I am excited to witness the positive influence this training philosophy has had on my family and the entire hockey community. Thank you, Tyson, for your unwavering dedication, innovative thinking, and commitment to the future of the game."

" Our son is a 15 year old AAA hockey player who had the privilege to train under Tyson Mount during our stay last year in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. Our goal with Tyson from the beginning was to develop Ryker in all the areas necessary for him to become a quicker and stronger athlete. Ryker loved going to Tyson’s twice a week during the season and 3-4 times a week during the off season. Ryker not only became stronger but also became quicker and more powerful in his skating stride. Tyson’s workouts were focused and designed for Hockey specific movements, this training method helped in every aspect of Ryker’s game. As a former professional hockey player, I was thoroughly pleased with the training methods at TMX Athletics and would recommend this not only to hockey players but to young athletes who want to learn how to prepare and how to become better, stronger athletes.

"Tyson's enthusiasm for what he does was initially what drew me to sign my 3 boys up to train with him in the off season. I could quickly see that it was the right choice and also recommended it to the group of 2008 hockey players that I coached. Tyson soon developed a hockey specific training program with strength training designed to translate from the gym to the ice. There was a noticeable improvement in strength in all 3 of my boys. Most of the players I coached ended up training with Tyson during the season and in the off season. My team, the 2008 Soo Jr AAA Greyhounds, who I coached from 2018-2022 was top 10 in Ontario for 4 years. I would like to take all the credit but there was a team behind this exceptional team and Tyson was a part of that. "

"Why choose TMX Athletics? From a parent perspective, it’s not only about clearly seeing my child’s results in their capabilities and physical attributes, it’s also about the frequent positive comments they make about their training sessions with Tyson. Hearing them rave about the facility, the workouts, and personnel is very reassuring as a parent. As a Chiropractor I also see the benefits of training at TMX from a healthcare professional perspective. I am impressed with Tyson’s attention to detail when it comes to the science of sport specific training. Tyson does not just provide “cookie cutter” workouts for the athletes at his facility. He studies the science of what the athlete is training for, and creates tailored, sport-specific workouts to enhance the athlete’s performance in their sport. I highly recommend TMX Athletics for elite athletes in any sport."

" As hockey players, we have been brought up through the ranks training hard to get into shape utilizing different movements that focus on strength, power, and speed. This has included Olympic lifts, Plyometrics, and Sprints to name a few. However, we have come to find that, while these types of exercises allow us to increase our overall fitness, it does not increase the strengths in the movements that we constantly perform on-ice. Tyson has developed an amazing program that focuses on manipulating the muscles that are stimulated in movements such as skating strides, absorption of contact, and shooting. His approach accomplishes the same goals as traditional programs in improving fitness and preventing injury, but the greater focus on sport specific movements allows for easier transition to on-ice improvements. I believe his program has the ability to take many young athletes to the next level in the game of hockey. "

"Both are boys are going to TMX workouts with Tyson Mount and love their training session. Neither one ever wants to miss a workout. Our oldest son has been with at TMX for 2 years now and really enjoys his workouts/sessions. We have noticed a lot of improvements in our son’s strength, agility, and speed in his hockey skills since starting. Our youngest son couldn’t wait to be old enough to start training with Tyson, since he has started, he comes home and tells us all about his workouts, how he’s improving and how much he enjoys training. Tyson is fantastic with his athletes; he is very supportive and encouraging with them. With our oldest son not only have we noticed physical improvements we have also noticed that our oldest son’s confidence and self esteem has improved since starting at TMX. You will often see Tyson online watching the boys live stream hockey games, he will often attend the home games of his athletes as well as cheer them on at their track in field meets. We chose Tyson for our boys to train with due to his reputation with in SSM and training athletes specific to the sports that they are in (hockey, soccer etc.). "

"I can’t express enough how grateful we are for our experience with TMX Athletics and the exceptional guidance our daughter Elena has received from owner Tyson Mount. As a parent of a figure skater, we’ve watched our daughter strive for excellence and needed a coach/trainer who could truly understand the nuances of the sport. Under Tyson’s mentorship, we’ve not only seen immense improvement in her strength but also in her skill on the ice. His expertise is truly remarkable, and his ability to inspire and motivate is second to none. TMX Athletics provides a nurturing and supportive environment for athletes to flourish. Tyson’s dedication to each of his students is evident in the personal attention he provides to each athlete. He tailors training programs to suit individual needs, pushing the athlete to their limits and helping them achieve their goals. His unwavering belief in our daughter has been a driving force behind her success. We wholeheartedly recommend TMX Athletics to any aspiring figure skater or athlete. With Tyson Mount at the helm, you’ll find a mentor, a friend, and a coach who will help you realize your full potential. Thank you, Tyson, for being an integral part of Elena’s success on the ice."

" Our son has been training with Tyson at TMX since he was 11 years old. We wanted a training program that works on conditioning, strength and agility, and were cognizant about avoiding programs focused on heavy weight training at this age, or simple cardio which he is already getting plenty of. TMX offers the perfect balance & meets all our criteria. We can see a difference in his core strength which is beneficial for any sport! His confidence has increased as well. My son loves that he can train with a group of dedicated athletes who all have a common goal. Tyson is very supportive and takes a personal interest in each athlete’s success. Amazing to see such mentorship. You get more than a training coach when you work with Tyson and TMX athletics! "

"Tyson has trained both of my daughters from a young age. They each play a different sport and have very different personalities and he has trained them specifically for their sport in a way that’s effective for them. He’s very detail oriented in making sure that the movements are being done correctly no matter what the sport is. Ari is a goalie at a very high level accomplishing her goal to play NCAA D1. Tyson recognized her drive and power and helped her strengthen and balance as she developed. Vivianna is working towards playing post secondary soccer. Tyson recognizes that she requires a different kind of motivation than her sister did. He also trains her specifically for soccer and builds her confidence and her speed and power in ways that are effective for her. I’ve never seen a trainer with so much passion for each athlete he trains. Tyson trains them and then watches them compete and cheers them on. They love seeing him and Daniella in the stands so they can show off what their training is doing for them. Tyson understands that he’s not only building athletes but that he’s building humans and these strong humans will remember everything Tyson has done for them for the rest of their lives. "

Jess Merlino: Hockey, Basketball and Soccer Parent

"Our daughter has been working with Tyson on and off for a number of years. This year she became more consistent with her training and we have noticed huge strides in her performance. Her confidence, strength and agility as an athlete has notibly improved in her respective sports. Not only does Tsyon focus on strength, but more importantly the mechanics of how to perform specific movements to eliminate the risk of injury. Tyson pushes and encourages her to reach her full potential. His personality is infectious and she absolutely loves attending her training sessions!"
