Episode Notes
Tryouts are tough for most players.
But they don't have to be.
I have played 20 years of hockey and have tried out for many teams.
I want to share with you what I learned and what I stole from other great tryout players.
Keys:
Instead of charging you 1000 for this
I am going to give you everything you need to maximize your chances of making your team based on the assets you already have.
Tryouts are like an interview
Wanna see who is qualified
Wanna see what value you bring
This is both ability and character
1. Master Your Mental
Focus - mediation
Confidence - visualize, confidence programming, affirmations
2. Know your unique player Identity
Ideally, build it
Know your skill set player your game
If not, just focus on playing your strengths
Know what scouts
3. Be stable
Coaches don’t wanna see an angry outburst
They wanna see energy and passion
Know the difference
Be in control
4. Be vocal and alpha
(but not fake)
5. Set intentions and release them
Think of this like a prayer
6. Have a prep routine that can be altered easily
Mind
Body
Skill
7. Relax
You can’t control everything
Trust that what is meant to happen is meant to happen
