I wanted to get some strategies to focus on the positives and improve my game and so I began working with a Mental Performance Consultant. We worked together on and off for many years and I learned a lot of different skills and strategies during that time. Overall, I was able to focus on the parts of the game that I could control and not to worry about the rest. For example, one of the key strategies I developed was to take a few minutes to write about my strengths as a hockey player before every game. This simple strategy helped me focus on the game and feel more confident because I was focused more on what I can do rather than what I couldn't.
