A reminder for my beer league buddies.
Simple detail, but missed constantly… stopping at the net off the rush! So many players miss easy goals by curling into the corners like it’s warmups.

Jared Goff said, "I've learned to just be consistent." "Show up for your teammates every day. That's the hard part..." Everyone wants to be a champion on Sunday. Few want to be a pro on Tuesday. Consistency is the separator.
Next time your watching hockey practice, here are a few things to consider
Not every shot needs to be a bullet. The soft floater is an excellent option. Off speed/change up shoots are awesome:
For your preseason meeting:
Don’t let your perception of your identity ruining being a winning basketball player @mindthegamepod. Winning players adapt and evolve:
Dragging the D into poor spots while a teammate fills the open lane. Great example of Pasta getting off the wall and dragging the D with him. Teammate comes through for great scoring chance. Awesome concept for creating off the rush.

Today we look at a “boring” tactic… sitting on passing options. Be proactive to take away easy plays and force the opponents to make difficult plays. The defender that never touches the puck nor is near the puck make can cause turnovers!
Playing off the pass is a critical area of the game as you rise up the hockey pyramid. Mindlessly chasing pucks is a quick way to become irrelevant. Yet, being a cunning opportunistic hunter should never leave your game. McDavid has always been a hunter:
Financial planning research… “DONT JUST DO SOMETHING, SIT THERE.” Investing in public markets… one of the extremely few areas in life where doing more almost always leads to worse results.
Creativity still has a long way to go. Too many players still think in 2-Dimensions. Air passes to hands are a great way to pass to a teammate, especially in difficult or crowded spots. Check this one out:
Simple and effective:
Players cross their feet hundreds of times during a game…crossover technique matters! 📢 Tyler is a new to the group and said he had never really thought about his crossover mechanics. Check out his improved toe drive and technique. We’ll continue to add speed and reps, but…

Shorting the zone Rather than waiting at the blueline, defensemen can position themselves lower in the offensive zone to be more involved in the play. Notice “all 5 in the picture”
