Life lesson I have learned from hockey #9

The last and final life lesson I have learned from hockey is confidence. I started to figure out confidence when I hit high school. It all started when I was playing bad as A sophomore in high school on the varsity team and didn’t get much playing time. My mom proceeded to come in my room after my game and said you got to start doing better, you got to get the confidence and what do you know the next game I went out their and I scored. I learned that if you have the skills and desire to do something you just have to have the confidence. This goes for school as well when you have a big test coming up and you don’t know if you were going to go or not you half to believe in yourself that you were going to do well or else there’s no point of taking the test. Confidence will be something that I will take with me for the rest of my life and will come in handy in times when I need it.

Life lesson #8 I have learned from hockey.

The next and second to last Life lesson I have learned is commitment. As I started to get older in the sport of hockey I learned that it would take up most of my time. I knew that if I didn’t show up I wouldn’t play. I knew it would be every day and that’s why I loved the commitment because hockey was the best thing ever to me. Commitment is a big deal, that means when you were there at the rink you have to give it your all. It’s translates to everything else in the world like a job where are you at the be there every single day as well as a relationship with a girlfriend/boyfriend were you have to give 100% all the time.

Life lesssons learned from hockey # 7

The next life lesson I have Learned from hockey is goalsetting. I started to figure out goalsetting was a big part of hockey and life at the age of 12. It all started when my coach asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up and I said I want to be a hockey player. Coach said how are you gonna do that and he said you you have to set goals. Ever since then I have set goals not only in hockey but in my daily life as well. I set daily goals, I do long-term goals I do them all. In daily life I just used goal-setting to help get me to a construction place where I can make a lot of money.

The next lesson I am here to share with you is communication. Communication is a huge part of hockey and matter of fact any sport you play. You have to work with your teammates and in order for you to do that you have to use your voice. Also communication with coaches is very hard, but very good skill to have. If you weren’t getting enough playing time or had a problem with someone you would have to do that and that was something that got me out of my comfort zone. It was good and I will take that with me for the rest of my life. I will take it to my jobs or school or even at home. I know now that if I want something to change I have to speak up and communicate. Also if I want to work with my co workers better then I have to communicate with them as well.

Life lesson learned from hockey #5

The next life lesson I have learned from hockey is teamwork. I have learned over that the game is so much more than just individual work it is being able to work together to a common goal. Me and teammates learned that we could not do it by ourselves or else the other team would beat us. Like all of the coaches and parents said, “teamwork makes the dream work.” And that quote really stuck with me and I have been able to use that to my advantage in today’s life with my working environment. At the restaurant I have used what I learned at a young age to make the place so much better and bring everyone together.

The next life lesson I have learned from hockey is to be patient. Patients has been a huge part of the game and overall in life it’s self. I learned you have to be patient to be good in the game of hockey, growing up I was never the best kid on the ice, I had to wait my turn to be great. It all started when I hit my growth spurt and started to play faster and harder because I felt so much more mature. Patient has taught me to know that everything might not be ok right now, but that things will get better. I have taken this lesson and used it to my advantage in real life. I learned that if I am not good at someone new I have doing that I need to give it some time to see where my skills will take me. Patients for a job will also be a key roll in how I will take that about and how I could beat out someone that maybe doesn’t have patients.

The next lesson that I want to share with you competitiveness. Everything about the sport of hockey is always about competition. It all started for me when I was a young kid trying to make a summer hockey team and ended up not making it. This taught me that in order for me to compete I have to be at my best and at a young age I didn’t know what that all meant. Competitiveness has taught me to fight for my spot and to always tell myself that I can do it. It is such a big part not only hockey, but fighting for a job or fighting for a spot at a college. It really all comes into play and the people who have a competitive demeanor are more likely to go farther in life.

The second life lesson I have learned is respect. This is probably the most important lesson I have learned throughout all of my hockey career. It all started when I was young when I had a super bad temper. One game I lashed out on a referee and after got yelled at by my coaches and parents. They said this cannot be happening and that I need to respect my opponents and the game hockey itself. After that experience I have learned respect is a huge part of the game and life in general. I have learned to use respect in my job as well to my teachers and students. It is a skill that many jobs and things in the future need.

Today is all about hard work. Throughout my hockey career my coaches and family have pushed me to be the best athlete possible and that all started with them telling me I have to work hard. As a young kid I have spent countless hours shooting pucks in the garage to try and get my game to be better. It really has paid off for me as I have accomplished all of my goals that I have had playing hockey and had really shown me how much hard work can do. Not only does hard work apply to hockey but it applies to everything else in life. When I do homework I work hard, at my job I work hard, I always do my best work in a timely matter. Things in life don’t come easily, you have to work hard like it is your last day playing that sport, or last day on the job, or else people are going to catch up to you and take your spot.
