My eyes were wet from start to finish. I thought of being little in a big world & watching my son's first tries at this mad game. ESPN's Open to the NHL season is beautiful. I didn't expect to cry today-this is stunning. There's nothing like this sport. We at ESPN love the sport as you do. ❤️ Enjoy.

Can competitiveness be taught?
Some players are naturally wired to compete. Others have to develop it over time.
Does that competitiveness push them forward or hold them back?
What do you think: nature, nurture, or both?
What are you actually paying for?
Before signing up for another team, skills session, or trainer. Ask this:
Is there a development plan?
Does the coaching fit your player?
Is it actually helping them grow?
Hockey is an investment, make sure you know what you’re investing in.

While on-ice training is important in the summer, it's important to give your body & mind a chance to recover from the season. It can also be an opportunity to spend more time in the gym, focusing on off-ice strength, mobility, and development that translates into on-ice play🏒
