MENTAL SKILLS TRAINING

- INTRODUCTION -

This MENTAL SKILLS TRAINING program allows players to achieve the maximum
potential that their physical and technical training will allow. MENTAL SKILLS
TRAINING helps remove barriers to a player achieving a peak performance. MENTAL
SKILLS TRAINING cannot replace your physical and technical training, but it can help
give you a performance edge!

Mental skills are just like physical skills and technical skills in that you have to work on
them and the more you understand and practice them the better you get.

We will work on developing your ATTITUDE CONTROL, ENERGY CONTROL and


ATTENTION CONTROL in order to allow you to perform at your peak performance. To
control your Attitude, Energy and Attention we will develop and refine COPING
STRATEGIES to address these areas. The skills we will learn to use include Goal Setting,
Physical Projection, Breathing, Relaxation, Self Talk and Visualization.

We will work on MENTAL SKILLS TRAINING through discussion, keeping records and
journals, taking assessment surveys, practicing skills through activities and utilizing them
in practice and game situations.

Controlling the mental aspects of your performance is just like working on the physical or
technical parts of hockey; you will get out of it what you put into it and the more you
practice, the better you get! During this learning process, it’s important to build a solid
foundation in the beginning and then continue to develop and refine the skills and
strategies throughout the year. MENTAL SKILLS TRAINING is a life long learning
opportunity and a set of skills you can use throughout your life.

Develop the mind of a champion through MENTAL SKILLS TRAINING. To realize your
full potential as a hockey player you have to start training your mind as well as your body.
You can learn to master these skills and take your performance to a new, higher level.

Become well versed in MENTAL SKILLS TRAINING and utilize the most powerful
resource you own: you mind. Be prepared for victory/success physically and mentally!
