F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 9 | M H J ON L I N E . C O M 09 HOCKEY SHOT TIP OF THE MONTH LISTEN: It may sound simple, but those who listen and pay attention to the small details will get better faster. When a coach is trying to help you, they can only do that if you're listening to them. FOCUS: Be 100% present in the moment. This is a very difficult mental practice, but it is one of the greatest skill advan- tages you can give yourself. If you're on the ice for an hour, don't allow your mind to wander off and think about homework or Fortnite or anything else. Be in the moment and get a full hour of training in. Not 45 minutes. Not 30 minutes. But 60 minutes of focused practice. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE: The only way to get better is to take our current abilities and push past them. It's very easy to get caught staying in the com- fort zone because it's exactly that, com- fortable! But comfort is the enemy when it comes to development. Identify your current level and push just to the edge of what you can already do. We don't want to go too fast because we need to be able to process the information in order to get feedback from our failures and successes.
