The backhand is one of the most feared shots in the world of girls hockey.  Goalies hate backhands because they can be very unpredictable when done well and players hate them - well, because they aren’t very good at them…

 

…Here’s The #1 Reason Why:

 

=>  You need to get your top hand away from your hip.

 

What do I mean by that?  If you are a right-handed shot, your left hand is your top hand. Most female hockey players (for some strange reason I still can’t quite figure out) hold their top hand very close to their hip. In this case of the righty, it would be on their left hip.  This means that both hands and the stick are being carried very close to the body and that the stick is most likely no where close to the ice (but that’s another topic entirely).

 

When your hands are that close to your body, it restricts your ability to stickhandle, shoot and pass effectively.  The reason is that you lose a significant range of motion with your arms and your stick when you carry your hands close to your body.  So why is this important for your backhand?

 

Because you need to be able to cup and sweep the puck the same way you do on your wrist shot in order for your backhand to be effective (as a side note, having your top hand glued to your hip has devastating  effects on your wrist shot too). 

 

Most young players shoot what I like to call a “pitchfork backhand”. Their blade never cups the puck at all, they don’t start with the puck behind their back foot and they basically try to lift the puck into the air by flinging their stick as high and hard into the air as they can.  Shooting like this gives you zero control and very little power. Not to mention the fact that it just looks so wrong.

 

Once you get your top hand away from your hip, you give yourself a much greater range of motion with your arms and stick. That allows you to cup the puck, sweep the puck like you would in a wrist shot and follow through at the end pointing your stick at the target.

 

Getting your top hand away from your hip is something that I am constantly telling my players to do to help their passing, stick-handling and shooting.  Sometimes I feel like a broken record out there, repeating myself over and over again. It’s one of those little details that makes a huge difference in the way you play the game.  So as you are practicing and playing in your games this weekend, I want you to think about making this little adjustment to your game. It may feel a little awkward at first if you aren’t used to it, but I can guarantee you that it will have a positive impact on your performance.

 

Keep Working Hard and Dreaming BIG.

 

Your friend and coach,

 

Kim

 

PS - We will be working on critical “little” details like this - as well as many more - at the TOTAL FEMALE HOCKEY “KICK START” HOLIDAY CAMP. This two-day camp runs on Thursday December 30th and Friday December 31st at Chesswood Arena in Toronto.  As of this morning, we still have some spots left in each group - but I’m not sure how much longer they’ll last.  So if you are interested in joining us for two days of high-intensity work (and fun) please make sure you register soon to secure your spot.

 

We are splitting skaters into 2 groups based on age:

Group 1 - Atom & Peewee:  On-ice 9:00am-11:00am, Off-ice 11:30am-1:00pm

Group 2 - Bantam & Midget:  On-ice 11:00am-1:00pm, Off-ice 1:30pm-3:00pm

It’s college hockey week here at Total Female Hockey. This week I am touring Vermont and New Hampshire with the PEAC Girls Hockey team to visit NCAA Division 1 schools and play a few games against some top-flight teams.  We will be watching team practices and training sessions, touring the campuses, watching a Division 1 game and getting a first-hand experience of what it really takes to get to, and excel at, the college hockey level. Then the day we get back from our trip, I fly out to Vancouver to speak at  Hayley Wickenheiser’s tournament on “How To Get Noticed & Recruited”.

 

One of the most common questions I get from players, parents and coaches about the whole college hockey recruiting process is:

 

“What are the scouts looking for?”

 

There is really no easy answer to this since a college hockey coach needs to fill their roster with players who fill a position and role, which changes year-by-year based on their team’s particular needs.
 

 

To keep it simple for you, I’ve broken it down into what I call the “3 As”.

::  Academics
::  Athletics
::  Attitude

 

 

 

ACADEMICS:

When it comes to academics, the better your grades and test scores, the easier it is going to be for you to get into the school.  Having high marks and scores will only help you throughout this process. I’ve seen far too many players focus all their time and energy on the hockey side of things only to miss out on a great opportunity because their academics weren’t up to par.  Remember, you want to use your ability to play hockey to get a better academic opportunity.  We aren’t chasing million dollar NHL contracts, we are looking to get a great education that we can use for life.
 

 

ATHLETICS:

Coaches aren’t just looking for the players with the best skills. Don’t get me wrong - your skating, shooting, stickhandling, passing and checking are critical to you getting noticed, but college coaches need much more than that. They are looking at your coachability, your sportsmanship, your work ethic with and without the puck (as well as on and off the ice). These aren’t always things they can see directly from the stands, but a quick conversation with your club coach or opposing coaches will tell them a lot.

 

ATTITUDE:

Last, and certainly not least, is your attitude.  To be honest, I’ve heard from many college coaches that a player could have great academics and athletic ability, but if they have a bad attitude, they won’t be able to go anywhere.  They need to be able to visualize you being a part of their team. They want to see how you interact with your teammates, coaches and opponents. They are watching you when you walk around the rink. They see how you carry yourself away from the ice. This stuff matters.  It is about much more than just your playing ability.

 

 

BOTTOM LINE:  They are looking for the COMPLETE PACKAGE.  That’s what the “3 As” are all about.  It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and discipline to get there. But the payoff is worth it.

Keep Working Hard, Dreaming BIG and Taking Action On & Off The Ice.

 

Your friend and coach,

Kim

This is a little embarrassing.  Even if you’ve only been part of the Total Female Hockey community
for a few weeks, you know all about the mistakes I made when it  came to training off the ice on my way up to the next level.

 

I did too much, too soon, with no foundation in place, and ultimately ended up permanently tired, injured and frustrated.

 

But there is another BIG mistake I made when I was a young player that I rarely share with anyone.

 

I sometimes bring it up when I do my live seminars and camps, but even then, I get really emotional about it and I usually don’t tell the full story because I am worried that I might cry right there on stage (I know that sounds sappy, but it’s true).

 

I may have screwed up my off-ice training pretty badly when I was looking for ways to get an advantage on my competition as a young player, but I screwed up my NUTRITION even more.

 

 

::  Oh boy, did I screw up my NUTRITION.

 

 

From the time I was 12 to the time I was 22 (OK even until I was 25), I was all over the place with my nutrition and I think it had an even bigger, and more negative effect, than my misguided training did.

I thought I was doing what was BEST for my health and performance…

But the truth is…

 

 

=>  I had NO IDEA what I was doing.

 

It would take me pages and pages of writing to tell you the full story…

 

So I decided to make a video instead.

 

 

Watch Kim’s McDiet video here:


http://totalfemalehockeyclub.com/video-sample/nutrition_story/

 

 

I’m finally going to tell my entire nutrition story…

Even though it is one of the hardest things for me to do…

Because I know that if it will help at least one young player avoid making the same mistakes I did, it will all be worth it.

 

 

So here we go - the McDiet video that has been 15 years in the making:

Best Tournament Ever

Posted by Kim   Comments Off

This past weekend, I spent everyday in the rink watching a few different tournaments running here in Toronto - and my team wasn’t even playing!  At this point in the season, I’m sure your team has been in at least 1 or 2  tournaments - I know some players and teams who have been in 4 or 5.   There is no doubt that tournaments are great fun. You probably remember just as much about what happened off the ice as what happened on the ice. It’s a terrific way for the team to bond and get some games in against  opponents you don’t face on a regular basis.
 

But there is nothing worse than showing up at a tournament and underperforming.   You spend all that time, energy (and money) only to give a mediocre effort. It’s frustrating for the coaches, players and parents.

 

Playing your best all tournament long is tough.  Especially when you’ve got games that are just a few hours apart or when you have to travel a long way.  In order to perform your best, and make sure you’re still playing on Sunday,  you’ve got to take care of all the details.  You can’t just expect to show up and win.  You’ve got to prepare.

 

I want to help you make your next tournament the best one ever.

That’s why I am giving you a free copy of the "Best Tournament Blueprint".

In this free report, you’ll find a step-by-step plan that will  help you to be at  your best both physically and mentally, whether it’s your first game of the tournament or your fifth. And as an added bonus, I have also included the "Blueprint Basics", an audio  recording where I talk you through the entire blueprint and show you exactly how to use it so that you play your best every time you hit the ice.
 

But before you go grab your free copy of the report and audio, I want to make sure you are getting the one that is right for you. I created 3 different versions of the plan:

==>  One is for COACHES.

==>  One is for PLAYERS.

==>  And one is for PARENTS.

 

 

Each of you are going to have slightly different roles in making sure the tournament is a success, so I personalized the audio for each of you.  Make sure that you click on the right link below to get the Blueprint  that’s been designed with you in mind.

 

COACH Blueprint:

==> http://totalfemalehockey.com/tournament_blueprint_coach_dl.shtml
 

PLAYER Blueprint:

==>  http://totalfemalehockey.com/tournament_blueprint_player_dl.shtml
 

PARENT Blueprint:

==>  http://totalfemalehockey.com/tournament_blueprint_parent_dl.shtml

 

Feel free to pass these links along to your fellow coaches, parents and teammates, so that they can have their best tournament too.

Enjoy and good luck at your next tournament.

 

 

Your friend and coach,

PS - I am thinking of running a 2-day camp here in Toronto on December 30-31st as a way to close out 2010 and start 2011 with a bang.  There will be a group for atom and peewee aged girls and one for bantam and midget aged girls and the camp will include 2 hours of ice and 2 hours of off-ice training each day.
 

If you are interested in receiving more information about this camp, please send me an email with the subject line, “Dec 2010 Camp” and include your daughter’s name, age and current team (name and playing level) and I will add you to the VIP list so  that you are the first to know when the camp registration is officially opened.

Face-off plays are definitely not something I get excited about as a coach.  Teaching them usually involves a lot of standing around and it’s hard to run through them at game-like intensity with your own team since everyone knows the same plays.

 

All that being said, they are absolutely critical to the success of any team, so we spend a good amount of time working on them.

 

Face-off plays aren’t as fun and exciting as playing 5v5. They don’t get the same glory as the power-play.  But they are a very necessary evil.

 

Because the game of hockey is all about gaining advantages all over the ice. It’s about gaining as much control as possible at every opportunity.  Set plays like face-offs give you a great chance to gain a quick advantage over your opponent and to capitalize on the opportunity that advantage creates.  That’s why we spend so much time on them at practice. Because that one play can have a dramatic effect on the game.

 

 

Winning a key face-off in your own end with 30 seconds left in a tied game gives you an opportunity to get the puck out and down the ice. Winning a key face-off in the other team’s end with 30 seconds left in a tied game gives you an opportunity to score and win.

 

In a game that is all about capitalizing on the mistakes of your opponents, you need every advantage you can get.  Even if that means spending more time than you’d like to working on a play that may only get used once or twice during a game.

 

 

The same is true OFF the ice as well. 

 

 

Taking care of your off-ice training, nutrition and mental game takes time.  And you aren’t going to see an instantaneous change in the way you play from a single workout, change in your eating habits, or the way you get focused before the game.   All of these things can have a dramatic effect on your performance - over time.  But you have to consistently spend the time and energy on them in order for them to have any kind of effect at all.

 

Drinking enough water, stretching every night, working out and setting goals aren’t nearly as fun and exciting as working on your skills or playing games.  We can all agree on that.  But they are absolutely critical to your success as a player.

 

You need to focus on the details in order to be the best.  And whether that’s getting your pre-game routine of nutrition,hydration, mental preparation and physical preparation down to a science, or perfecting your face-off plays, every little bit counts.  It’s focusing on the details that will give you that small advantage that you need over the competition that will allow you to pull away when the opportunity arises.

 

 

So take the time to be more prepared than your opponent on and off the ice.   The more prepared you are, the better your chances of capitalizing on your opponents’ mistakes.  That means you’ll have to spend the time and energy focusing on the little things. But remember - it’s the little things that make a huge difference.

 

 

Keep Working Hard, Dreaming BIG and Taking Action.

Kim

You can admit it. There are players you play against that you absolutely can’t stand. And since I’m betting that you’re as competitive as I am, pretty much anyone who plays on a team other than yours in the enemy. You still respect them - but you will do everything in your power to beat them. In the heat of the game, there is no reason for being “buddy buddy” with the other team.

 

BUT then there’s that really annoying type of opponent.  The one who is…

 

::: Extremely skilled
::: Ridiculously smart
::: Nice to everyone
::: A great teammate
::: And just downright classy

 

You want to hate them because they are the enemy, but you realize that you just can’t.

 

I played against this exact player in college.  She was unquestionably the enemy - she went to Harvard and there was a huge rivalry between Harvard and Dartmouth (there still is).  She led the country in scoring  for all 4 years and holds the record for the most points by any player (male or female) in NCAA hockey history.  Her ability and skill will never be questioned.  That was enough to find her annoying and to want to stop her in her tracks every time she was on the ice. You wanted to hate her because she was the enemy, but you couldn’t.

 

Because she is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, she is ridiculously smart, she made all of her teammates better and can best be described as a class act. There’s a reason she’s been on the Canadian Olympic Team 4 times.  There is no doubt she is a great player, athlete, and teammate. But even more than that - she is a terrific person and a wonderful role model.

 

As a special bonus to you, I’ve included an exclusive interview with this amazing player as one of the 3 bonus interviews that are a part of the Total Female Hockey Mentorship Program.   These players tell their story and share their secrets of how they went from playing for the love of the game (and they still do) to becoming some of the best players in the world.

 

I wish I had the opportunity to hear the secrets of success from players of this calibre when I was young.  Just listening to these interviews today gets me excited about all the amazing opportunities that are there for the taking  for players and teams that are willing to do all the little things to not only get  to the next level - but even more impressive, stay there for the long-term.

 

 

That’s the whole point of this Mentorship Program. This is NOT just about the next 30 days or 12 weeks.   This is about setting the foundation for your future success.  Being a part of this program will help you have a great season. But I’m thinking more “long-term” - and so should you.  This could be the start of something bigger than you ever dreamed of. Getting the information and inspiration you need to get to the next level might just be the first step towards making the top team next year, getting that college hockey scholarship or making the Olympic team.

 

The players I interviewed were just like you at some point.  What got them to the top?

 

Taking Action Each and Every Day Towards Their Dreams.
 

And when you join the Mentorship Program, you can hear exactly how they did it. Plus you’ll also get the exclusive “7 Secrets To On-Ice Success” Coaching Call.  So if you are ready to take your next step towards greatness, click on the link below to get started:

My Birthday Gift To Girls Hockey Players

Posted by Kim   Comments Off

This past weekend was my 31st birthday and it was filled with celebrations with family and friends, as well as a few trips to the hockey rink.  To pass on the celebration of the last 30 years of my life to you, I have taken $30 OFF the price of the next 100 spots in the Total Female Hockey Mentorship Program.

 

You and I both know that opportunities for you to gain a big advantage on the competition only come around so often. That’s why I am personally inviting you to join this exclusive program.  The $30 discount is only available until Friday at midnight.

 

 

::: Click on the link below to take advantage of this amazing offer :::

 

http://www.totalfemalehockey.com/mentorship_special.shtml

 

 

I just have one question for you…

How valuable would it be to you if you knew exactly what it took to  become an elite women’s hockey player, and were being personally coached every single step of the way by someone who has not only played at the highest level of female hockey, but also teaches players how to get to the next level every single day?  Your passion, commitment and determination are essential to getting to the next level - but they aren’t enough.
 

 

You need to have the *right* information, inspiration and support that will help you move closer to your dreams every single day.  And that’s exactly what you’ll get as a member of the Total Female Hockey Mentorship Program.

 

 

In this 12 week personal video coaching program, you will learn how to:

:::  Take All of Your On-Ice Skills To The Next Level
:::  Gain Confidence So You Avoid Getting Frustrated & Nervous Before Big Games
:::  Eat Right So That You Can Perform Your Best At Home & On The Road
:::  Get Noticed, Scouted and Recruited
:::  Become The Fastest, Strongest and Fittest Player So You Dominate All 3 Periods
:::  Stay Laser Focused On Your Goals So You Move Closer to Your Dreams Every Day

 … and much, much more!
 

 

I know what it feels like to have to figure out how to get to the next level all by yourself.  I didn’t have anyone showing me what to do, and what not to do, to stand-out and get noticed when I was young. I was constantly worried that I wasn’t doing enough to get ahead of the competition or doing the right things to get noticed at tryouts or tournaments. I dreamed about playing college hockey and playing for the national team, but I had no idea how I was going to get there.
 

 

 

I wish I had the opportunity to learn exactly what it takes to get to the next level from an expert - someone who had been through exactly what I was going through, who had achieved their dreams in women’s hockey, and who could let me know I was on the right track.

 

I had no one to show me the way…

… but YOU do.
 

 

This is your opportunity to get ahead of the competition and I will personally help you every step of the way. I have spelled out exactly what you need to do to get to the next level. All you have to do is take action.

Is 10,000 Hours Too Much? (video)

Posted by Kim   Comments Off

I’m sure you’ve heard this before. That in order for you to achieve a level of "mastery" in anything,
you need to spend 10,000 hours practicing and perfecting your craft.

 

10,000 hours is A LOT of time, especially when you consider that most girls’ hockey teams are only on the ice for an average of 6-7 hours a week.

 

Reaching 10,000 hours requires a MASSIVE commitment.  I guarantee you that the women who were playing for Canada and the US in the Olympics a few months ago have put in far more than 10,000 hours.  Most elite women’s college hockey players will be close to that target within their first few years playing at that level - and many of them may have hit it already.

 

I’m not telling you this to scare you. I’m telling you this to inspire you. Because IT IS POSSIBLE. 

 

:::: So How Are You Going To Reach That 10,000 Hour Target??? ::::

 

I’ll show you exactly how to make it happen in this 5 minute video clip.

 

Click on the link below to watch the “10,000 Hour Rule Video”:

I have to admit it… I’m tired.  Just one month back into the season and I feel like I need a week-long nap. If you’re feeling the same way, I don’t blame you.

 

A lot the players I’ve coached, trained and spoken to this month are finding it hard to give 100% on the ice, in the gym and in the classroom. It’s hard to keep the initial excitement of the season going once the reality of hockey, school and your social life hit full force.

 

But…

 

And this is a BIG but…

 

You and I both know you can’t go through the rest of this month as a walking zombie. Because this is a critical month for all teams to set the tone for the season by coming out of the gate flying and getting all their skills, systems and strategies in place.  It’s also one of the most important months for players who are looking to get noticed, scouted and recruited by college coaches. Early on in the season, you need to gain any advantage possible over the competition.
 

 

You can’t afford to be exhausted. You can’t let a little fatigue get to you.

 

As your schedule gets more intense on and off the ice in the next few months, your challenge is to keep passionately pursuing your goals with as much energy and effort as you had back a few short weeks ago.  I know that’s a tall order.  I’m feeling it too.

 

When you are doing everything you can to be your best on and off the ice, it’s hard to think about adding another thing to your already hectic schedule.  In fact, the most common question I get from highly motivated players who have already made the choice to become the best player they can possibly be is…

 

::  How Do I Fit It All In?  There always seems to be MORE to do.
 

 

I’ve been there.   When I was high school, it felt like there just weren’t enough hours in the day to do everything I thought I needed to do in order to excel on the ice and in the classroom.  I didn’t have any idea if I was wasting my time doing the wrong things or missing the important things entirely.  It wasn’t until I finally reached the elite level and starting coaching young players that I realized how much time and energy I wasted worrying about whether I was on the right track to achieving all my BIG goals. 

 

I am here to help you figure out exactly what you need to be the best you can be.

 

::  I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I made as a young player.
::  I don’t want you to worry that you aren’t on the right track to success.
::  I don’t want you to miss out on your opportunity to become the best you can be.

 

I want you to achieve each and every one of your goals and realize every single one of your dreams on and off the ice. Becoming the best takes more time, focus and energy than most people are willing to give. But if you are willing to make that investment, the pay-off will be great.

 

Remember - EXCELLENCE IS A CHOICE you make each and every day, even when you are feeling exhausted or overwhelmed. In fact, that’s the most important time to be excellent because that’s when most people let their foot off the gas. 

But you’re different. Because you are going to choose to be excellent no matter what life throws at you.  That’s what the great players do.

 

 

Make The Choice.  Work Hard & Dream BIG.

Your friend and coach,

 

Kim

 

PS - Next week, I will be opening up the next 100 spots in the Total Female Hockey Mentorship Program. All the players who have been through this program have learned exactly what they need to do to get to the next level, have taken massive action towards achieving their dream and are on the road to success. I don’t want you to miss out on your opportunity to take a huge step closer
to your dreams - so keep your eyes peeled for that big announcement.
