Erzurum 18U Championship

The below comments were made to the press at the GSIM Office in Erzurum Turkey on 6/25/14. It was updated and distributed to the press on 6/27/14.  It was translated to English to make sure there was no misunderstanding in the translation.

Turkish 14 Under National Championship

Erzurum GSK won all their matches in Kojeli and qualified for the championship game. There was a problem with the ice and the championship game was canceled.The Federation said, " they would contact us by phone when the game would be played. The TBHF told management most likely the game could not be played until September."



Let it be clear - The TBHF actions are political.  This was the third time in two years the Federations made changes and did not tell us!

The Federation sent a fax after 5 pm on Tuesday, June 24, 2014. GSIM was closed! GSIM read the email Wednesday, June 25, 2014. The TBHF scheduled the game for Friday, June 27, 2014 at 1600. On Wednesday we tried desperately to make arrangement to get to Istanbul. We would have had to leave that afternoon to make the game. It is a 20 hour bus trip from Erzurum to Istanbul. It was impossible with the holiday to get a bus and two drivers. We offered to play the game any other day in Istanbul. The Federation refused to change the date. We spoke directly with Oktay Yavuzarslan from BOĞAZİÇİ. We were told arrangements were made last week. The Federation and BOĞAZİÇİ said they would not change the game.


In the press conference I want to remind BOĞAZİÇİ over the past three years, GSK accommodated BOĞAZİÇİ and changed games for them. Three years ago we changed the time of the game for a game - because they were missing some players. Last year, the time was changed for 18U. This year 18U playoff game was changed for BOĞAZİÇİ without even notifying GSK. Our team was dressing when we found out the game was changed. BOĞAZİÇİ or the Federation never even called us to tell us about the change! Furthermore this season GSK spent $3000 dollars to play BOĞAZİÇİ in Kojeli -BOĞAZİÇİ did not show up.


I told the press that BOĞAZİÇİ has a good team. BOĞAZİÇİ has a good organization. BOĞAZİÇİ have great players and parents. Oktay is a great coach; Oktay is a good person and friend. But I am sorry - BOĞAZİÇİ and the TBHF failed to demonstrate true sportsmanship. You robbed BOĞAZİÇİ children of a chance to win a championship with hard work and fair play.

The main objective of coaching should be to teach children fair play, work ethic and teamwork. Our philosophy with GSK is work hard in school; be a good person; be honest; Be a good friend; work together with others; Unfortunately the actions of TBHF proves these values mean nothing in Turkey. The Turkish Ice Hockey had stolen a championship away from GSK. The TBHF is teaching children that hard work and good character mean nothing!


On June 27, 2014 - BOĞAZİÇİ wrote a letter to the Federation. I did not see the letter. But according to management, "the letter stated BOĞAZİÇİ would not accept the championship under the terms set by the TBHF.'' I want to honor Oktay Yavuzarslan and Bogazici Hockey Club for supporting GSIM. But most importantly, they should be honored for showing good character. As I said; " Oktay Yavuzarslan and Bogazici are good people." The decision of Bogazici not to support the Federation is the correct and fair decision. Hopefully, the TBHF will work with the clubs for the good of the game.


Notes:

The court in Turkey has ruled two times the TBHF did not provide the correct delegate list to vote for the election. The TBHF election has been canceled two times.

The 14U Championships was moved from Ankara to Kojeli - Dropping participation by 10 clubs. Despite the fact that everyone knew there were ice problems. This was done to influence the election.

The TBHF submitted a third list of delegates for election - that being challenged in court. It looks like the election will be canceled third time.

 Sports Psychology Tips: 

Let Go of Losses, Setbacks and Anger

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.”
-Isaiah 43:18

Venus Williams  failed to win medal at the  2012 Olympics.  She suffered from depression after the loss. She was devastated by her poor play and struggled daily with her game. Venue "said" I needed to let go of the loss.  
1.  Forgive yourself and others
2.  Learn from your mistakes
3.  Find support -  Venus  went to her father.
4.  Find the upside of the loss 
5.  Plan your comeback 
6.  Write down some new goals

Eliminate Negative Self-Talk

 Narman Spor - 3rd Place National Championship  and Regional Champs

 Erzurum Gençlik Spor Kulubü 18U 2012-13  National Champs and Regional Champs

          Erzurum Gençlik Spor Kulubü 14U 2012-13  National Champs and Regional Champs

Eliminate Negative Self-Talk Over the course of the day; during games and practice, we talk to ourselves. Our self-talk can become negative after a mistake. Often we put ourselves down; we re-play these mistakes with an internal dialog. Negative self-talk creates future anxiety. Practicing positive self-talk can help you succeed. Awareness to our negative voice is the first step to eliminating negative self-talk. Your positive or negative self-talk is habit. To break these negative patterns of self-talk; we must replace them with positive empowering statement.
Turn Negatives Into Positives:

Most psychologist say, “it takes 30 days to create a new habit." On the ice, I found it takes 10 days to create momentum to break bad habits. It takes a lot of energy to break a habit. Negative self-talk is no different. But once you discipline yourself to turn each negative into a positive - it become easier. It's important to remember; negative thoughts will come; this is natural; we can discipline our thoughts; but not stop negative thoughts from coming.


Teaching Points:

The key is to change negatives into positives. It critical we do not to replay the negative thoughts over and over again. The best athletes choose the information they will replay; they provide positive instructions to themselves. They use self talk to coach and motivate themselves; They use self-talk to immediately correct their performance. Our goal should be to challenge ourselves to turn every negative into a positive.
Pay Attention To Your Self Negative Talk: If you want to improve your game; Start paying attention to your negative self talk. 1. What you say to yourself at practice means everything. 2. What you say to yourself, can interfere with your performance. 3. What you say in-between practice drills and between shifts, determines your focus. Action Steps to Take: 1. Start a log and record your self talk. 2. Recognize negative self talk and replace with positive. 3. Use cue words to direct your focus and performance.

Quality Repetitions Elevates Skills and Tactics

Any skill, tactic, system or belief; can be learned with quality repetition of thought and practice.
