Hockey Grit, Grind & Mind

If you’re serious about becoming an elite hockey player, this guide will help you reach your full potential.

Hockey is a tough sport. Not everyone will develop the passion and perseverance it requires. But for those who are dedicated to becoming the best, honing one’s skills, experience, and mental toughness is essential. In Hockey Grit, Grind & Mind, sports specialist Kevin L. Willis helps players, coaches, and parents understand what it takes to play hockey at the highest levels.

Here, you will learn how to increase the consistency of their game, step up in pressure situations, play with more confidence, create a reserve of energy to tap into when needed, and persevere when other players are giving up. Willis also offers practical tips on how to develop your personal vision of success and stand out on the ice in both games and practices.

Hockey Grit, Grind & Mind provides the tools, insights, and strategies to help players train and compete like the pros and take their game—and their grit—to a new level.
