Are you aiming your mindset this summer on what ma Are you aiming your mindset this summer on what matters most to your game performance process🤔 🎯 As @ryan_donato put so brilliantly in this video… Are you “aiming that hard work in the right place?” “What are the couple things that I need to work on that are gonna make a difference for me this year?” Watch this video again and again💯 While watching, ask yourself and identify key metrics in your thought process. Here’s a few ways to direct your thought process👀🧠 RECOGNIZE🎯 What have I recognized is a part of my game that I believe I experience often??? REPEAT🎯 How often do I deliberately work through the physical, mental, and emotional cues of working through that specific process? Physically: What type of movements are required for this play I am working on specifically? What type of power may I need in specific or various situations of this play? Are there different tempos I should practice with this play? Mentally: What type of specific decisions are required for this play I am working on? Are certain choices and decisions easier than others? Are the harder choices necessary to work on, or should I simply focus on mastering the easier choices that I know will work and happen often? Emotionally: What type of belief do I have in the play I am working on specifically? Do I feel this is a valuable investment of my time? Does this play or process have a meaningful connection to my game I consistently experience? General physical preparation is useful and important. But as you become significantly more competent in your process, specific preparation becomes the only way you can become a unique and extraordinary asset to a team #iykyk What do you think??? Own your process or the process will own you. It’s as simple as that #play4THATfeeling #offseasontraining #IDO

CHAMPIONS MINDSET: Lessons from Frozen Four Champi CHAMPIONS MINDSET: Lessons from Frozen Four Champion Robby Drazner 🏆 Before this season began, @rdrazner shared wisdom that would ultimately guide him to a national championship with Western Michigan: “Focus on becoming the best version of yourself, not on what others are doing.” Robby’s championship mentality centers on three key principles in this message: 🏆 Stay in your own lane - everyone progresses at different rates 🏆 Develop and trust your process, especially during slumps 🏆 Maintain consistency, regardless of external pressures The difference between good and great often isn’t talent. It’s the mental approach of sustaining a mindset that doesn’t stress you out and blow up your progress. Robby’s commitment to personal development over comparison proved decisive when it mattered most. Congratulations, Robby! Enjoy every moment brother❤️ What a story you have to tell🔥 #iykyk #ChampionsMindset #trusttheprocess #FrozenFour #WesternMichigan #Hockey #mindset
Protection + Deception = Mindset for Elite Stickha Protection + Deception = Mindset for Elite Stickhandling👀🧠🏒 The foundation of elite puckhandling comes down to two simple mindset principles we teach and share with all our players: 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: Become aware of how you can consistently put the puck in a position where defenders must reach to get the puck. 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: Become aware of how you can sell your opponents with your body language. Make them believe you are going to move one way while you’re really intending to move another. Watch Lane Hutson’s highlights closely. Notice he never dangles through or under sticks? It’s all about positioning the puck strategically and using subtle deception to get defenders flat-footed. When you can consistently protect effectively and create hesitation in defenders, you’ll always have the mental advantage against any opponent you face. At the end of the day, isn’t that the point of what any puck possession player is trying to achieve?? Hutson’s game is a masterclass in these stick-handling mindset fundamentals. This is a simple high-percentage mindset at the highest level in the world🏒​​​ It’s as simple as that #play4THATfeeling #silkysmooth #mindset #protection #deception 🎥: @hockeyforever
