Daily Training Tip #557

What are you doing to change the pecking order?

If you are playing on the third line, what are you doing above and beyond the six (6) players on the top two lines?

If you are on the B team, what are you doing above and beyond the players on the A team?

If you lost the first game against a certain team, what are you doing above and beyond them to beat them when you face them again?

If everyone is doing the same things, everyone is going to improve in a similiar fashion. My question to you is, what are you doing above and beyond everyone else to catch back up to them or to pull ahead of them even further. It doesn't matter where you stand, it matters where you are going.

There are lots of "little extras" you can be doing to put yourself in a position to change the pecking order. You can always shoot more pucks, stickhandle more, spend more time in the gym or get on the ice more.

The pecking order is always changing, make sure you are always moving up!
