Ice-hockey players combat winter blues with daylight

Hannu Jortikka, the former head coach of the KHL hockey team Admiral Vladivostok, shares his experiences from back when he tried to motivate his players to use the Valkee daylight headset in order to combat the effects of winter blues and to compensate for jet lag.

The players of the Vladivostok Admiral team must often travel all across Russia to participate in other games. Naturally, the long-haul flights, time zone differences, as well as seasonal depressions effect the mental and physical capacity of the athletes. Even well-trained ice hockey players are not spared from such influences. It is no wonder that the coach and his players were constantly seeking tools, which help mitigate these consequences and preferably have no negative side effects.

The daylight headset Valkee seemed to be the perfect candidate for a trial: It is small, discreet, has virtually no side effects when it is applied with the proper dosage, and has been proven to improve the motoric responsiveness of athletes. Furthermore, daylight is also effective in the treatment of symptoms of the winter depression and has also proven positive in the reduction of jet lag problems. Hannu Jortikka tested the Valkee daylight headset with his players in autumn and was able to report a very positive result. Since then, he has been recommending the Valkee daylight unit to other athletes.
