If you are trying to catch the person in front of you (or trying to pull farther away from the person behind you) you can not afford to to skip a workout or a practice.
If a coach told you "it is optional" you better take the option of the showing up and working hard. That is the only way you can catch up and bypass.
No matter how long you play the game of hockey, it is going to be too short. You can't afford to miss things!

Daily Training Tip #559
Soak up as much knowledge as you possible can. There are lots of resources out there that can benefit you and your career. However, the key is to sort out what works for you and what doesn't!

Daily Training Tip #558
Continuing from yesterday, what are you doing to keep the pecking order the way it is?
If you are on the top line and the top power play, what are you doing to stay there?
If you are on the top team, what are you doing to stay there?
If you beat a team the first time you play, what are you doing to assure you beat them again?
The pecking order is always changing, which means if you are on the top, you had better be paying a heck of a price to stay there. There is always someone else that is trying to take your spot. There is always someone else that isn't happy with their pecking order and are doing everything they can do to change it. You need to be doing everything you can do to stay on top. You don't have time to sit on top and enjoy the view, you need to be making strides up and up!

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!

Daily Training Tip #556
When you are on a tight training and competition schedule, there is no room for drugs and alcohol. You can't perform to your best ability if you abuse your body!

Daily Training Tip #554
You need to push yourself off of the ice, just like you do on the ice. With the proper workouts and the proper work ethic off of the ice, you can really seperate yourself from your opponents.
Pay a Price!
