Hockey Anxiety Kills Creativity
In hockey, we all know that the ups can be supercharged, and yep, the downs can too.
The great players in the NHL that I coach develop mental performance tools to deal with the roller coaster of emotions both on and off the ice.
You too can build powerful hockey resilience today by putting your game in perspective.
It does take discipline, but hey, so does skills practice eh?
Here's how:
- As you look back on all that you have achieved in hockey, ask yourself what were your most fun moments? Why were they fun?
- Then ask yourself what were your biggest successes and why were they true successes for you?
- Then ask what moments are you most proud of? Why did they make you proud?
- Then ask what were your biggest learning moments in hockey? What did you learn that helped you to be a faster, more elite player? A better team-mate? A better resource for your team?
When you look at the bigger picture, you can see that your hockey career has had its ups and its downs.
By looking more at the ups, when you notice hockey anxiety kicking in, you can get a balanced picture of what is going on long term.
Each and every time you play, you are learning and growing as a player no matter what. Use the big-picture perspective to develop your own hockey resilience and your own Hockey Confidence.
