Kendall Coyne Schofield in Workout Gear Says "Keep Crushing It!"

The pro ice hockey player Kendall Schofield has multiple gold medals under her belt from the 2018 Winter Olympics. Posing in her hockey gear with the olympic rings in the ice, Kendall captioned the photo “watching #PARIS2024 has me reliving some of my favorite memories. Let’s go Team USA, keep crushing it!” What does Kendall do to stay in great shape on and off the ice? We found out some of her go-to moves to stay on top of her health.

1. She fuels her body

She eats her overnight oats for energy. “It fuels me for my morning workouts and skate, it fills me up enough and consists of so many nutritional benefits. I am an avid milk drinker, which surprises a lot of people, but I wanted to eliminate some of my dairy intake so that is why I switched to coconut milk yogurt. I have milk at dinner every night at home. Also, I am not gluten-free but use gluten-free oats because they are easier to digest and give me energy faster,” she said to ESPN.

2. She encourages others to play hockey

She’s a leader in the hockey community, inspiring others. “After a year off in 2023, the 8th annual Kendall Coyne Hockey Camp made its comeback! A massive thank you to everyone who helped make this camp possible and to all the future @thepwhlofficial players who brought their A-game, worked hard, made new friends, and even got to see @disney & @pixar’s Inside Out 2,” she said on Instagram.

3. She prioritizes her family

She puts her family first, but still manages to keep up with her athletic career. “A captain, leader, countrywoman and above all else, mother. On this Mother’s Day, we celebrate Kendall Coyne-Schofield’s story as she navigates her pregnancy and makes her mark in the PWHL during their inaugural season,” CCM Hockey posted on Instagram.

4. She celebrates everyone's wins

She encourages others wins and stays positive. “History Earned. What an honor to be part of this special team and bring the Walter Cup to the State of Hockey for the first time ever. Hoisting the Walter Cup represented the efforts of so many people and players who have played a role in paving the way for the game to be where it is today,” she said on Instagram. “The inaugural PWHL season was extraordinary on and off the ice. The sport, players, fans, staffers, media, partners, and the next generation - we all won this year.”

5. She ice skates

As a pro hockey player, she loves to ice skate, as seen in many of her Instagram posts, like this one captioned “new season starts today! Playoff mode: activated.” According to playkettering.org, “skating works nearly every muscle group in the body, and gliding requires synchronized movement of the legs, which is important for joint flexibility. It also builds up the leg and abdominal muscles. Like any workout, skating is great for cardiovascular health – it gets blood pumping and the heart rate up. And it’s a lot of fun to glide around the ice; unlike with other types of exercise, you probably won’t even remember that you’re working out!”
