Training Camp opens tonite for me. Well, at least that’s what I am calling it. My Level II skating and skills courses start tonite for two hours of ice-time. Next Monday, my skills course at the SensPlex starts. And when I throw in Friday night pickup hockey, I’ll then have three nights a week of hockey until November 20.
So in my mind I am seeing this time as a period to really work hard, improve and also to drop a few pounds. I am 217 now, but I am setting the goal of being at 200 by the time camp ends. How’s that for a goal?!
The other aspect of this ‘training camp’ is I want to really go out there each night, haul ass, take chances, and become a better player. Last year towards the end of my courses there was an element of being happy, “hey, look I am doing a cross-over! I am hockey player” but this time out I want to view the courses as an opportunity to get better and improve. Last year it was about seeing if I could do it. Now though, I know I can do it, but I want to be able to do it better. And for me what this means is going out of my comfort zone and making mistakes. Or simply put, this means I am going to be falling on my ass a lot!
