Turkey v. Slovenia 2011 - Delaying High on Offensive Rush

Slovenia is IIHF Group 3 Team, in 2010 they were in group two. We did not want our club to delay high in 2010 or 2011. We were playing Olympic teams, IIHF Group I and II clubs. Turkey was a group five team. We did not have enough talent or experience to delay high. Most of the woman had only just started playing hockey 2 years ago. 

Tactics:  Delay High

Defensive Tactics:

•  Slovenia Defense reads the delay and intercepts the puck

Tactical Mistakes Turkey:

• Turkey failed to take the easy shot
• Turkey failed to have anyone drive to the net
• Turkey fails to have offensive triangle - We have three players in straight line.

Sports Psychology Tips:  Three Types of Goals; Performance, Process and Outcome Goals

Performance goals are things you can do that you are 100% control of  such as the number of hours you will train and number of repetition in gym. Performance goals focus on success or failure at the task.

Process goals focus on mastering specific skills such as skating, puck control,  passing and shooting.  Executing process goals increase the probability of achieving your desired outcome.  Process goals break things down into manageable components or actions to improve your tactical and technical skill development.

Outcome goals such as “I want to make the national team” or “win the championship” etc. However, outcome goals are usually not under your full control. Outcome goals can be huge motivational factor or become a major source of pressure and frustration. Athletes must balance performance, process and outcome goals to reach their optimum motivational level.

Sports Psychology Tips:

Eliminate Negative  Self-Talk

We talk to ourselves throughout the day, practices and games. Your self-talk can become frequently negative after a mistake. Often we re-play these mistakes with an internal dialog. Negative self-talk creates anxiety about the future. Practicing positive self-talk can help you set in motion, actions that will bring success on the ice. The first step is  for you to become aware of negative self-talk. Turning negative self-talk to positive thoughts can take time. Your positive or negative self-talk is habit. To break these negative patterns, you must replace habitual negative talk with a positive statement. The key is to challenge yourself to turn every negative into a positive. It takes about 30 days to make this a positive habit.
