Dallas Stars AAA Hockey

What does it take to be great? 

Many players and teams talk about it, but very few actually do it.

The "great ones" do every day what the "good ones" do occasionally.

A great player works on her mental game...
A good player thinks it's "weird".

A great team does a warm-up before every ice session...
A good team does a warm-up when they feel like it.

A great player stretches after every ice session...
A good player stretches only when she is sore.

A great team trains off the ice throughout the whole season...
A good team trains off the ice in the off-season - if at all.

A great player goes out of her way to eat properly each and every day...
A good player eats whatever is available.

The great ones do whatever it takes on a daily basis...
The good ones do it when it's convenient.

I am not talking about just having a good season.

I'm talking about having your best season ever.

I'm talking about being great.

There are lots of good players and teams out there,
but very few are great.

The difference between the good ones and the great ones is
what they do on a daily basis, away from the crowds and away from the rink.

I know that mental preparation, warming-up, on-ice conditioning, off-ice training, stretching and eating right
are not nearly as exciting as playing in the big game.

But it's your attention to detail on all of these "little" things that will make the biggest difference in your season.

If you are ready to have your best hockey season ever, then this is for you.
