Does your mind feel restless and unable to focus when you are stressed? Does this lead to you making silly mistakes?

If this is what is happening with you, then it's time to develop a strategy so that you can play like the pros - focused and making smart decisions.

Calm focus is an outcome of inner strength; this inner strength is a key trait developed by the NHL Players that I have coached. It wins them Stanley Cups, multiple times over. 

No matter how stressful or high pressure the situation, developing a strong inner strength enables you to dominate on the ice.

Tip: Start by focusing on developing your inner strength by cultivating a circle of people around you that believe in you.

Maarten van Doorn with a Ph.D. in Philosophy, writes: "The people we surround ourselves with are the biggest influence on our behavior, attitudes and results."
 
Who you are around — what they’ve got you thinking, saying, doing and becoming — sets the course of your life.

Whenever you spend time with people who raise you up, you will improve your state of mind. This will have a profound impact on how well you play as well as create a more powerful Hockey Confidence.
