Breakfast Club: Week 4 with Kirk
I didn't have all my stuff today on the ice. Did you see Coach Scottie smile when we were doing our backward skating drills while dropping down to your knee? Don't try that without a lifeguard on the scene. He loves to see us suffer.
How ‘bout the full-ice drill while stick handling, all was going well until the kick the puck piece of the drill. I had to circle back a couple times when I missed the kicking part, I only think half the class noticed as they watched in amazement. Scottie made up for lost time today following his bad attitude last week. That boy can generate a little speed but the problem is his stopping move is unreliable. Always keep one eye on Scottie … you don't want to become an ice rink statistic.
Laura was a no-show today – Germany trip for work. Laura II and Emily made it. Donnie J had an honors code violation, suspension in the works. Yes Lyle, I'm still perfecting my snap shot, it takes a little time.
Trivia question - does anyone know how many shots of Tim Hortons coffee Lyle needs to get his voice in shape for the practice? Besides the sounds of Coach Lyle's voice ringing in our heads, what is your favorite sound of hockey? Mine is the puck hitting the goal post and then the puck going in the net if I shot it.
OK, so we were tossed and turned in a lot of different ways today, why, to put us in situations we're not normally in. Do you notice when you try that new move or position the first time you resist it but doing it the second and third time you actually can begin to do it. The whole process is what helps us develop new skills. Albeit small steps, these steps build on one another until you'll see noticeable improvement. Yes, there are times when I view my hockey as my failed experiment but I quickly snap out of it when I objectively view my progress in 2-3 month intervals. Hockey is a very tough sport; it's not like playing darts at the pub. Pinched hit for Laura today, she'll be back and writing next week. Kirk out
