Because, I've been in your daughter's position and I just want to help. I had to figure out exactly what it takes to get to the elite level of women's hockey all by myself as a young player. I didn't have anyone showing my what to do (and what not to do) to get noticed and get better. I was constantly worried that I wasn't doing enough to get ahead of the competition or the right things to get noticed at tryouts or tournaments.
I dreamed about playing college hockey and playing for the national team, but I had no idea how I was going to get there. I just happened to do a lot of things right early on in my career, but I also made some huge mistakes that almost cost me my playing career. I truly believe that every player deserves the opportunity to realize her hockey dreams and I want to make sure that you do too. I want to make sure that you avoid the same mistakes that I made as young player and that you are doing the right things to stand out from the crowd.
I Want You To Know How This All Works
So if you're confused about how to help your daughter stand out from the competition, or if you're worried that she's not doing the right things to get noticed, or if you aren't sure if she has what it takes to get to the next level, or if you want to make sure you get the right information about how to become the best player possible from someone who has played and coached at the highest levels of women's hockey, and especially if you want to make sure that your daughter has every opportunity to realize her dreams...
Then keep reading, because you're about to find a solution.
I sure wish I had known the secrets of standing-out and getting noticed when I was a young player looking to get an advantage on the competition, when I was constantly confused and frustrated.
But before I reveal the secrets to your future success, I want to share my personal story that started 15 years ago...
How I Went From A 13-Year-Old Who Couldn't Skate To Playing Division I College Hockey and Trying Out For The National Team Just 6 Years Later.
Unlike a lot of my teammates, I didn't start playing until I was 13. When I finally "caught the hockey bug", I spent every minute of every day out on the rink or in the gym trying to take my game to the next level. I spent a tremendous amount of time training on and off the ice - only to end up tired, injured and frustrated. I thought that I was doing the right thing by “doing more and going harder” than everyone else, so I continued over-training and under-preparing - all in my quest to become the best player possible, get a college hockey scholarship and play for the National team. The irony is that the things I did to realize my academic and athletic dreams were also the things that ultimately ruined my career!
I've made absolutely every mistake in the book when it came to training on and off the ice and my body, and my hockey career, suffered for it. I spent so much of my time and energy focusing on doing things that weren't specific to my age, my gender or my sport - it was no wonder I felt completely lost and frustrated throughout my young career. Now, after studying female hockey player development for over a decade, I know that all the things I was doing back when I was a young player were completely WRONG. I only wish that there was someone out there who could have helped me back then.
As the Director and Founder of Total Female Hockey, I've been very fortunate to be an on-ice and off-ice coach for thousands of girls who want to take their game to the next level, all they way from 10 year olds to players on the National team, and I am honored to be able to work every single day with girls like you who share the same passion and commitment to excellence that I had towards becoming the best player possible. I can honestly tell you that helping players like you become their best is the most rewarding thing I have ever done and I absolutely love every single second of it. This might sound weird, but I actually enjoy it more than I did playing!
I am so happy to be able to fill that void that was missing for me as a young player desperately trying to figure out how to get to the next level but having no one to turn to for information or advice. I didn't have anyone who had been through exactly what I was going through and had achieved their dreams in women's hockey there to show me the way and let me know I was on the right track...
... But you do.
