Alors voici que l'été s'achève, le mois d'Aoust qui est ici déjà. Pour plusieurs d'entre vous, ce mois signifie les camps d'entrainement. Encore une fois la chance de faire ses preuves et de se remettre au boulot.

Ceci aussi veut dire que les attentes de chaques entraineurs envers vos performances sont à la pleine alerte. Donc, fini les vacances, les gâteries sucrées, les jeux vidéo...maintenant, on se remet en forme pour ce qui nous attent. Pas rien de compliquer ou surcharger là! Un simple régime d'exercices de base pour élever le cardio et remettre les muscles en forme, prêt pour les épreuves à suivre.

N'oublier pas, bonne bouffe, quelques exercices accompagnateurs et du bon repos, tout ce qu'il faut pour une bonne saison à venir.

Bonne chance!!

Vous la connaissez sûrement cette blague, du moin certains de vous. L'exemple que j'apporte avec cette petite blague est que, pour bien suivre la leçon il faut porté attention! Il y a beaucoups de distractions lors d'un entraînement, alors il faut bien se concentré sur les instructions de l'entraîneur et garder son focus au maximum. Apprendre devient plus facile par la suite.

Bon hockey!

Often enough i'll see a team practice and there will be no goalie coach, which means the goalies will be used mostly for forward drills and practice. Not the best situation for you to learn, but regardless, try to take advantage of the ice time you have available.

While your teammates are doing their drills that do not involve you goalies, move to the side and get into a routine of doing basic movement drills (ie...shuffles/t-push/b-fly recovery/b-fly slide, etc). Just because no goalie coach is present to tell you what to do, that doesn't mean you should waste valuable time for practice. Repeating these movements will only make you better and more comfortable. Once you get to work with a goalie coach, then you will be able to get corrections done and work on specific situation drills.

So next time you're out there, keep busy. Remember...practice makes perfect ; )

"Today, I develop a winner's attitude. By adopting a positive attitude focused on success, I can bring energy and determination to all of my projects I undertake. Winners want to win. Winners know that in the long run, with work and practice, they will win. Failure has no place in a winner's world. Winners may lose an occasional game, of course, but they use that opportunity to learn and to become wiser and even more skillful. Winners use all the lessons they learn to help them win even more.

Today, I adopt a winner's attitude. I know that I can come out on top and I know that eventually, my efforts will be rewarded. I look straight ahead and I walk confidently into the future. I use my inspiration and all my talent to succeed."
