Dmen. Shots Gotta Get Through

Dmen. Just some footage from recent NHL games showing the positive things that happen when shots get through to the net. It really isn't about how hard you shoot but how quickly you shoot and your ability to get the pucks through traffic. If you are trying to score from the point, you won't. Focus just on getting your shots through and you will end up scoring and being rewarded.
Watch these clips and look at how quickly the dmen shoot. Enjoy!!!





And here is an example of what can happen when you don't get the shot through.

Humble and Hungry

Humble and Hungry

Humble and Hungry. Two words that are key to a life and career of continuous improvement and growth. Whether you are just starting out and trying to make a name for yourself or you have achieved the pinnacle of success it’s important to remember to be humble and hungry.

BE HUMBLE

• Don’t think you know it all. See yourself as a life-long learner who is always seeking ways to learn, grow and improve.
• See everyone as a teacher and learn from everyone you meet.
• Be open to new ideas and strategies to take your life, school and work to the next level.
• When people tell you that you are great don’t let it go to your head. And when they tell you that you stink, don’t let it go to your head.
• Be kind to everyone and let people know that they matter.
• Live with humility because the minute you think you have arrived at the door of greatness it will get shut in your face.
• Humility doesn't mean you think less of yourself. It just means you think of yourself less.

BE HUNGRY

• Follow your passion, continuously improve, and continue to dream.
• Seek out new ideas, new strategies and new ways to push yourself out of your comfort zone.
• Invest the time, energy, sweat and dedication to be your best and let God do the rest.
• Be willing to pay the price that greatness requires. Don’t be average. Strive to be great.
• Become the hardest worker you know.
• Love the process and you’ll love what the process produces.
• Decide to leave a legacy. Even at a young age it’s important to think about what legacy you want to leave because knowing how you want to be remembered helps you decide how to live today.
• Don’t focus on where you've been. Focus on where you are and where you are going.
• Make your life and work a quest for excellence. Every day ask how I can be better today than I was yesterday?
• Make your next work your best work.

It's Not Always Just Hockey

Just some random things that I came across and felt like sharing. No specific reason. Just like them both. 
Where else can you get a hockey blog that references a native american warlord and Springsteen in the same post??? :)  
Hope it gets you thinking and you enjoy!

So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.

Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and

demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life,

beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a

friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all

people and grovel to none.

When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy

of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only

in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones

to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are

filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep

and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.

Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
Tecumseh

Tecumseh was the courageous, legendary leader of the Shawnee tribe who inspired one of the largest Native American armies in the Great Lakes region and was killed in battle on October 5th, 1813. This is the poem that was featured in the motion picture Act of Valor.

And remember, we are in it together!!! Always moving ahead.....and never looking back.
