    About this ebook

  • Over one million players and coaches are involved in minor hockey across Canada and the US (612,976 players and coaches in the US and 639,500 players and coaches in Canada)

  • Minor ice hockey has become more competitive over the past 5 years and teams and organizations are looking for a competitive advantage so they are expanding the mental coaching programs for players, coaches, teams, and entire leagues

  • More than 70% of all youth athletes quit playing their sport by the age of 13 because of the mental pressures that go along with their sport and this book provides strategies to slow this trend (at least in hockey)

  • The mental game in hockey is upwards of 70% of the game and yet it is the least coached skill (this is beginning to change however)

  • Hockey Grit increases confidence, focus, resilience, passion, perseverance, and toughness in hockey to make the game more fun, and to increase the longevity of players pursuing the game.
