LAUREN PENNY,

Performance Coach & Mentor
Former International Hockey Player

Dear Hockey Player,

I'm so excited that you're here.

What I'm about to share with you is how I went from missing out on selection, feeling overlooked, wanting to quit hockey, to becoming an international player.

When I didn't get selected I almost quit hockey.

A few years later...
I made the 2012 Olympic team even though:
  • I never made a junior national team 
  • ​I lived 6000km from my home country 
  • ​The selectors didn't know me
There are many reasons and excuses you can use if you don't achieve what you want...

I used to blame all sorts of things, such as politics, coaches, injuries, etc.

But then something changed in me,

And that is when I started to get noticed.

I know how it feels to work hard but not get the results for the effort you put in.
If You're Here Now, Maybe You:
  • Not using your skills in games
  • ​Don't play your best consistently which leaves you feeling frustrated after games
  • ​Doubt yourself and hesitate in games because you're scared of messing up
You compare yourself to others and wonder why everything comes so easily to them?

You beat yourself up when you make mistakes.

You question if you're good enough and if you have what it takes to reach a higher level.

If this sounds like you...
DON'T WORRY - YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
I've been through this journey myself and I understand what you're going through...

Which is why I want to help you.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Teenagers

Aspiring To Reach Regional, State Or International Level

Club players

Wanting To Play In A Higher Team Or League

Masters players

Looking To Break Into Or Dominate At State Or National Level
There are other players like you also wanting to reach a higher level, but not sure what to focus on or where to start.

It's not your fault,

But you cannot ignore it,

You have to take ownership.

Your coaches WON'T help you with this.

They won't address the root causes of inconsistency and underperformance.

Because they are qualified to address your skills, not your performance issues.

That is why this is different.

YOU'VE PROBABLY TRIED:

  • Watching Youtube Videos 
  • Practicing Your Skills At Home
  • ​Going For Runs To Get Fit 
  • ​Using General Fitness Apps ​
  • Joining The Gym
  • ​Hiring A Trainer or Private Coach
If you've tried any of these you may have still fallen short of your goals...

Despite any effort you put in.

Why?

Because none of these 'short term fixes' will make lasting change.

All of these are pretty general and just give you more information...

When what you really need is implementation!
These things DON'T address:
  • ​ Self doubts and beliefs that hold you back
  • ​​Muscular imbalances created from playing hockey which can cause preventable injuries
  • ​​Your ability to make good decisions and perform consistently under pressure
What's the point in having potential if you're not showing it in games?

As humans we are conditioned to fear failure and to worry what others think of us.

And this keeps us stuck.

No matter how much effort you put it...

If you don't upgrade your mind, edit your beliefs and stories you'll always second guess yourself.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO:

  • Feel more confident so that you walk off the field feeling great after every game
  • ​Get fitter and faster so that you are a threat and have more impact in games
  • Be more unpredictable and make better decisions in key moments of the game
Imagine if you had a structured plan so you knew exactly what to do...

And you had all the right tools?

The good news is...

If you're looking to improve your performance and would like some help reaching a higher level I can help you.

But don't just take our word for it.

We've helped hundreds of hockey players from around the world reach a higher level.

Here are just a few players we've helped...

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Want to know how I helped
these players reach a higher
level in their game?

I'm going to take you through our system called the 4 core pillars.

Most players only focus on this pillar.

80% of your skills comes down to the basics.

Being able to do elimination skills is pointless if you're not able to pass or receive effectively.

A common mistake is that most players focus too much on the FANCY SKILLS

(which they hardly ever use anyway)

I'm talking about things like dragflicking for example.

Think about it...

There is only ONE dragflicker in the team and it's a specialist skill that is only useful at corners.

Don't waste time on skills that won't necessarily get you selected.

You need to master your skills,

However...

Having good skills is NOT enough to reach a higher level

And that's because:

Skills are NOT the only thing selectors look for.

Simply going for runs will not get you fit for hockey

That's because there are so many different aspects of hockey fitness that is required

Endurance is just ONE part.

Think about this:

In a game when do you ever run for 5km in a straight line without changing speed or direction?

Never!

As a hockey player you also need:

  • Strength on the ball to maintain possession
  • Explosiveness to win the 50/50 balls
  • Agility to react to changes of direction
  • Speed endurance to recover between sprints
  • Mobility to reduce your risk of injuries
  • Core stability to stay balanced
  • Quickness for better footwork
  • Optimum nutrition for a higher energy levels
  • Recovery strategies to manage your body
But you cannot work on ALL of these things at the same time.

That's why you need a structured program

So that you can focus on the RIGHT THINGS at the right time of the season.

If you try to do TOO MUCH you may burn out,

And it could lead to overtraining

(which takes months to recover from)

OR EVEN WORSE...

Get injured.

And trust me, you don't want to get injured.

Imagine working so hard to reach your goals and then at the last minute getting injured.

That was me.

Injury is the reason I had to stop playing at international level.

I made several common fitness mistakes

And I failed to address the imbalances created from playing hockey (not knowing about them).

Most of the common injuries can be prevented with the right training.

Most personal trainers don't understand how to train hockey players and this often leads to making bad movement patterns worse.

RESULT = INJURY

Or they prescribe workouts that have very little transfer onto the hockey field

Which means you waste your time, energy and effort which lead to subpar results

And a decrease in motivation.

The 2 second advantage

How would you like to always be in the right place at the right time?

To know when to pass and when to go yourself?

The ability to recognise and create space is a valuable skill as a hockey player.

You know those players who always get the ball and seem to have so much time on the ball.

You have to study the game

(off the field)

Sure your decision making will improve gradually over time, but that can take years.

Why wait 10 years?

You can fast track this with deliberate learning.

It's not up to the coach to teach you how to improve your decision making.

This is a big part of your game so you need to spend time working on this away from the field if you want to be the best that you can be.

Being able to anticipate the next move before it happens can literally be a game changer.

Without this pillar, you will NEVER reach your potential!

This pillar is the MOST important, and it's what sits between your ears.

Your mindset is where most of your opportunities lie.

Most players DON'T train their mental game...

But training your mind is as important as training your body.

Why?

If you're not in the right state of mind you will hesitate, overthink and panic under pressure.

Just think of the last time you worried about making a mistake and you did exactly that.

COACHES MAY HIGHLIGHT THE PROBLEM

Saying things like:

"You just need to believe in yourself"

"You need to be more composed"

"You need to be more consistent"

BUT THEY WON'T GIVE YOU THE SOLUTION!

And not knowing how to solve this is even more frustrating...
Mastering your mindset will help you to:
Be more motivated so that training on your own is never a problem
Feel more confident so that nothing stops you from playing your best consistently
Develop a high level of focus so you're able to let go of things you can't control and you can move on from mistakes
Manage your emotions to perform under pressure (even at trials and in big games) and stay in the moment
Bounce back from setbacks to come back better and stronger than before (i.e. injury, not selected, etc)
These ESSENTIAL performance skills are not taught by coaches.

So it's up to you to invest the time in yourself to learn how to get a step ahead to reach the next level.
