7 Pre-Game Habits of Pro Hockey Players
Hockey players and parents will spend thousands of dollars this year developing
physical skills to improve their performance on the ice. Players will spend countless
hours of hard work shooting pucks in the backyard, playing shinny on the pond, or
stickhandling in the basement to improve their performance on the ice. Yet many parents,
players, and coaches fail to take the mental aspect of hockey into account.
7 Pre-Game Habits of Pro Hockey Players by author Brett Henning expands on specific
techniques and exercises that pros use to prepare themselves for games. Henning’s
unique insights come from a place close to the game. Before an injury forced Henning to
retire, he played collegiately at Notre Dame, as well as for the USA National Team in the
Under 20 World Championships, the most prestigious amateur hockey tournament in the
world. He’s also the son of former Islanders great Lorne Henning, who has spent 40
years in professional hockey and won four Stanley Cups as a player and coach. The
book is a passion project that Brett wrote as he looked for a way to pass on his
knowledge to people serious about the game.
“People are right to focus on their physical skillset, but NHL players and coaches believe
that 80 percent of the game is mental,†Henning said. “At every level players battle the
mental elements of hockey, either playing down to a weaker opponent or getting nervous
and tight in big games. This book is about helping people play up to their potential.
Different players have different personalities, and this book was designed to help
everybody. There are over 50 techniques to help players find the right mindset for their
personality and help them unlock their untapped potential.â€
This step-by-step guide to pre-game preparation teaches:
