2/2 Try and reframe this anxiety as excitement. Tell yourself “I’m excited for this” instead of “I’m anxious or nervous about this”

If you ever feel the anxiety coming reframe it and watch how this helps your game.

1/2 Hockey Players — do you struggle with performance anxiety? Try this trick⬇️

Anxiety and excitement cause the same physiological response. They both:

- Raise your heart/breathing rate
- Make you feel a heightened sense of awareness

Players often get criticized for skipping certain things like mobility.

Truth is they may not have a deep understanding of how it will help them on-ice

As coaches, it’s our job to educate them on how these actions directly improve them on the ice to make them want to do it👌🏼

One of the best ways to ensure you're getting your lifts in during a hectic game schedule?

Workout AFTER your last game of the weekend!

In-season performance on the ice come from consistency off the ice. Focus on smart, small doses, and watch your performance grow by season’s end.

In-season workouts AREN'T the same as off-season—they’re shorter and less intense and that's ok.

Here are the 4 biggest mistakes I see hockey players make with their in-season training:

Mistake #4: Not doing enough explosive work. Power is essential on the ice. Even in-season, include explosive exercises to stay fast and agile—just keep the reps low.
