When the Vancouver Canucks released their short film “Going Home” it offered more than a glimpse into the life of Brock Boeser - it revealed the process behind his resurgence. For anyone who’s followed his career, this season’s breakout wasn’t luck. It was the byproduct of a deliberate, consistent, and intelligent approach to training.
At Empowers Performance, we see that same formula every day - the athletes who commit to refining the details, taking ownership of their process, and showing up with intent are the ones who see real transformation. Boeser’s story is a perfect case study of what that looks like when it all comes together.
In “Going Home,” Boeser’s off-season is built on purpose - not flash. You see the small things: movement quality, acceleration, strength through range, and energy system development. Each piece connects back to performance on the ice.
🎥 Watch the Vancouver Canucks “Going Home” feature on Brock Boeser below to see how his off-season commitment shaped his breakout year.
He’s not chasing volume for the sake of it - he’s chasing efficiency. That’s what elite players understand: every rep, every session, every recovery choice has a purpose.
At Empowers Performance, we train our athletes the same way - not just to work harder, but to work smarter. Movement integrity, strength under control, and repeatable explosiveness are at the foundation of everything we do. Those principles are what turn an off-season into a breakthrough.
The transformation showed immediately. Boeser came into the season looking faster, leaner, and more explosive - and it showed up in every stride and every battle along the boards. His ability to sustain power throughout a game wasn’t random; it was earned through structure and discipline.
That’s the return on investment of doing the invisible work. When fatigue hits most players late in shifts or late in the season, the ones who’ve built true durability and recovery capacity still have another gear.
Our athletes hear it all the time: you don’t rise to the occasion - you fall to your level of preparation.
What stands out most in Boeser’s story is his quiet leadership. He doesn’t need to talk about work ethic - he shows it. The early mornings, the focus, the consistency - that’s what sets the standard in a locker room.
That’s exactly what we try to build at Empowers: a culture of accountability, where every athlete, from pros to high school players, understands that leadership starts with what you do when no one’s watching
Another key theme from “Going Home” is Boeser’s connection to his family and community. Balance isn’t a weakness in high performance - it’s fuel. Athletes who stay grounded mentally and emotionally can train harder, recover faster, and perform longer.
That’s why at Empowers, we integrate recovery, nutrition, and individualized support into our programs. The best athletes are those who not only train hard, but live in alignment with their goals - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Whether you’re a youth player building your foundation or a pro looking for an edge, Boeser’s example highlights the key truths of performance:
Brock Boeser’s success this season isn’t just about skill - it’s about preparation, precision, and mindset. His off-season work didn’t just help him rebound - it redefined his career trajectory.
And that’s what we believe in at Empowers Performance: Building athletes who are durable, adaptable, and ready when it matters most.
