Summer Improvements
Like most sports nowadays, early specialization and year-round athletics is becoming commonplace in the game of hockey. It is widely published and regarded as not the route many take on their way to their ultimate dream, playing in the NHL. In talking to the most elite athletes in the world, many will tell you the different ventures they took to reach their goal, and many are quite different. Oddly enough, you can look throughout the sporting industry and find that Hockey was a steppingstone for professional athletes in other sports. We love posting their stories on our Facebook page, so head on over there to check them out.
Here at Elite Amateur Sports have a different answer to the question; “What can I improve on this summer to be a better hockey player?”. The answer is YOU! Summer is a great time to be able to become a better person. We encourage everyone to find ways to change bad habits within themselves that may be holding you back from being your best self. This includes parents as well. For both players and parents alike, taking time for yourself to decompress after a long season is good for the soul, and can help improve everyone’s chances of becoming a better person.
Obviously taking the best sport in the world out of the equation for the whole summer is a little crazy. We all know once we have been bitten by the Hockey bug, its tough to shake it for long periods of time. That why we have created the single day pond hockey tournaments in Michigan to be able to come into a stress-free environment for just a day and allow the kids to get their hockey fix during the long summer months.
