Having Some Hockey Hardships? EP112
11/05/23 • 29 min
In today's episode, we're not only going to explore the hardships that come with the game of hockey but also the indomitable spirit of those who rise above them. We'll take inspiration from the timeless wisdom in the pages of three remarkable books that helped guide me through tough times. I hope some of the most significant ideas I will share today can help you if you're going through a rough patch early into this winter hockey season.
Remember that adversity and hockey hardships are merely a checkpoint on the path to success. It's where character is built, where legends are born, and where the heart of the game and its players shine brightest.
If there was a quote that you really connected with and you want to pick up a copy of the book so you can read it in its entirety, I've put links to the titles below. Thanks for stopping by and have an awesomely productive day :)
