A training assembly comprising a resistance training device (RTD), an athlete, and a coach. In preferred embodiments, the RTD is used in conjunction with a skating rink and is secured to the dasher board of the rink by use of a mount system. A first end of a line extends from the RTD from an electronically controlled motor driven drive spool. The opposed end of the line is coupled to an athlete such as a hockey player to provide resistance to the athlete as they skate across the ice rink. The RTD can be configured to not only vary resistance, but also to collect data relative to the athlete's performance against the line tension. The RTD can be configured to move between an operable configuration and a folded configuration while remaining mounted to the dasher board. A rechargeable battery is located on board the RTD to drive the motor.

A system and methods for training lateral motions. The disclosed system can include an elongate core member having a proximal end and a distal end; a pivoting guide arm rotationally coupled to the proximal end of the elongate core member via a pivoting joint, the pivoting guide arm comprising a foot pedal opposite the pivoting joint for securing a foot of a user; and a resistance system mounted to the elongate core member, the resistance system comprising a brake drum affixed to the elongate core member and having a friction strap threaded therethrough, the friction strap being affixed to the pivoting guide arm and rotationally coupled to the elongate core member, wherein the friction strap is configured to apply a friction force to the brake drum as the foot pedal of the pivoting guide arm is pushed laterally away from the elongate core member.
