PORT HURON LADY ICEHAWKS 2009 / 2010
We do have a game vs. Walled Lake on 1-9-10 at Suburbun Ice Arena 730pm. It is on our schedule< but for some reason it isa not showing up on the website.
Here's what determines the level of success a player achieves...
It's NOT...
:: The team you play for
:: The camps you go to
:: Or the coaches you listen to
And it's NOT...
:: How hard you shoot
:: How fast you skate
:: Or how fit you are
What truly separates good players from the great ones is the mental side of their game. I've talked a lot about confidence
and focus in the past, but today I want to talk about something
even bigger than that...
:: Your EXPECTATIONS.
A great player doesn't wish, hope, want or strive for success...
She EXPECTS it. She 100% believes in her ability to successfully achieve her goals.
This doesn't happen overnight - it's a process where success breeds success.
It's the accumulation of small victories over time in practice, in the gym
and in games that lead to bigger victories and help you to believe that
you can achieve any goal you set your mind to. When I think back to my final year of high school, I realize that I expected to be the best player every time I hit the ice. Whether I always succeeded in being the best player or not, it was my expectation that I would be that drove my success.
And that's the difference.
I didn't just WANT to be the best - I EXPECTED it. So what are your expectations for yourself when you hit the ice?
:: Are you holding yourself to a high enough standard?
:: Or are you letting yourself off the hook?
:: Are you stepping outside your comfort zone?
:: Or are just playing up to your potential?
:: Are you consistently making the hard choice to be great?
:: Or are you making the easy choice and just going along with the crowd?
As we head into the second half of the season, a new year and new decade,
this is a great opportunity to start setting higher expectations for yourself
and holding yourself accountable to meeting and exceeding your goals.
I promise that you'll be amazed at what can happen when you believe
in your ability to achieve all the success you've dreamed of. Work Hard, Dream BIG and Expect Success.
Your friend and coach,
~ Kim
