Hey there,
Building Hockey Confidence starts with understanding where you are today. This quick and simple ABC quiz will help you gauge your current confidence level on the ice and identify areas where you can grow. Ready to get started? Let’s go!
A – Assess Your Confidence Level
Rate yourself on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (absolutely) for each statement below. This will give you a snapshot of your confidence foundation:
-
I trust my skills even in high-pressure moments.
-
I can recover quickly from mistakes or setbacks.
-
I’m focused and calm during challenging games.
Total up your score.
- If you scored between 3-6, there’s room to build more confidence.
- 7-11 shows you have a solid foundation but could enhance your mental game.
- 12-15? You’re already projecting strong confidence on the ice!
B – Build on Your Emotional Resilience
The ability to stay calm and manage emotions is key to confidence. Think about the following:
- Do you know your emotional triggers and how to handle them?
- When things don’t go as planned, can you keep calm and focus on your next move?
- Can you channel your emotions into positive energy during games?
If you answered “yes” to most, your emotional resilience is solid! If not, focus on strategies like deep breathing and positive self-talk to boost your emotional control.
C – Check Your Habits
Your habits play a huge role in building Hockey Confidence. Answer these:
- Do you visualize your success before games?
- Are your goals clear and actionable for both short-term and long-term success?
- Do you take time to reflect on your wins and learn from setbacks?
Visualizing and setting achievable goals can improve your confidence, while reflecting on past successes can reinforce it. Keep building these habits to strengthen your mental game.
