Sports Psychology Tips:

FLY LIKE A BUMBLEBEE 

• Do not let people or events in your life stop you!
• Do not let your little voice stop you from flying!

According to the laws

of aerodynamics,

the bumblebee is

unable to fly.

This is because

the size, weight, and

shape of its body

in relation to the

total wing-span

makes flying impossible.

The bumblebee,

being ignorant of

these laws,

goes ahead  and flies anyway!

Tips For Teaching Defensive Zone Coverage - Practice

Power Thoughts:

~ Glenn Shepard

Sports Psychology Tips:

Great Athletes Learn to Break the 15 Minute Barrier: Great athletes know they do not have to feel like practicing. Sometimes you just need to practice first and feeling will come later. The key is to get your body in motion and the right emotions will follow. Once your start moving, you can break the negative energy holding your back. It takes about 15 minutes to get the right juices flowing. Start your warm-up routine and start training. Do not let negative feeling stop you from training. Just start, do not stop and you'll be glad you did.
