Insights from an unexpected life coach...
At this time of year you would be hard pressed to find anyone in Canada who hasnât started to think about winterâŠIâll be shameless and will say, âwinter is comingâ â and with the approaching season, we also find ourselves thinking about hockey. We watch it, we play it, and some literally live it ⊠itâs a national sport after all.
Hockey is a game I wasnât particularly good at, havenât played for years, and as a fan, not interested in anymore â probably because (as I said) I wasnât very good at it. Interestingly enough though, I found myself at a hockey complex the other day (where I sometimes train) and was drawn to a hockey practice. A group of young players who were down on one knee listening to their coach.
I was inspired.
A coachâs passion offered insight into something much bigger than just hockey â
Have a strong body.
Have a strong mind.
Work very hard.
Someone will always be watching â use any feedback to be better.
Do something â it is better than doing nothing.
DO something⊠it is better than doing ânothingâÂ
Take that trip.
Take the CFO gig.
Quit that job and travel the world.
Build that house.
Be that lover.
Propose to that girl.
Start that company.
Be who you want to be.
Take that job, although you are scared âshitlessâ
Do something for fuck sake,
How you interpret this is up to you⊠all I ask is that you do something.iamgpe

Thanks for the comment and insights CityVP \ud83d\udc1d Manjit... ya it does seem our athletes and getting bigger, faster, stronger. The reasons are definitely up for debate but what I have observed is everyone seems to have a trainer... Ya hockey is definitely part of our cultural fabric and arguably the fastest game on the planet... sadly I'm not very good at it (although I still consider myself a Canadian)... lol
