This week Topher and Jeff fly solo to talk about the 5 attributes of great hockey players. Between the two of us, we have coached players of all skill levels, from just beginning, to the NHL and PWHL level. Although all of these athletes are uniquely incredible, we have found commonalities between the best of the best. Listen for our top 5 traits that the best share.
In this episode we talk about:
— The power of self belief
— That it’s perfectly okay to “sulk” and feel failure
— Finding your tribe: people that you can be completely yourself around
— How the effort you put forth matters more than whether you win or lose
AND SO MUCH MORE!
