As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect on your journey as a hockey player—not just on the ice, but in your mindset, habits, and approach to the game. This reflection isn’t about judging yourself. It’s about taking stock of who you were, celebrating your growth, and identifying the areas where you can elevate your performance.
The Player You Were
Ask yourself:
- What were my strengths this past year?
- What challenges did I face, and how did I respond to them?
- Did I consistently show up as the player—and person—I want to be?
Maybe you had moments of brilliance where your preparation and confidence shone through. Or perhaps you struggled with self-doubt, frustration, or inconsistency. Both are valid and part of the process. The key is to understand how these moments shaped your season and your mindset.
The Player You Want to Be
Now, imagine the player you want to become in the new year.
- Do you want to be more mentally resilient in tough situations?
- Are you aiming to elevate your leadership skills, focus, or composure under pressure?
- What does the best version of you look like on and off the ice?
This vision is your north star, and the habits you build today will guide you toward it. But change doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intention, strategy, and support.
Step Into the New Year With Purpose
As we turn the page to a new year, it’s time to align your actions with your goals. Who you are now doesn’t have to define who you will become.
