Trainer Dave (Dave Torrance) has been a Sports Trainer for over 50 years and until one of his hockey players dragged him out to Track and Field over ten years ago, he was in a hockey rink nearly every day of the week. When he wasn't in a rink with youth and Junior A hockey teams, he was "Personal Trainer" to elite players who wanted to excel and has many University Scholarship and even NHL successes.

Dave's mentoring includes everything from pre game mental and physical preparation to recovery and Injury Management. He also promotes his athletes on his own website http://www.athletes4excellence.com  where coaches and recruiters can see updated info and statistics and even view videos of future candidates.

For the last ten years, Dave has been Trainer for the Thousand Islands Secondary School Pirates in Brockville, Ontario, Canada and rarely steps inside a hockey rink (Got bitten by the running bug!!). He also continues his "personal Training" and now has several "successes" attending University on Scholarships.  Some of these athletes are from the Pirates and a few are from other schools and other areas.

Dave has recently taken on the task of creating event videos for RunnerSpace.com.
