The Challenge:
Write or type out a "2021 Hockey Training Goals" plan for the new year using process-based goals.
What Are Process-Based Goals?
Process goals are about doing the right thing, regardless of the outcome, knowing that the right activities will lead you to ultimate victory in achieving your goal.
i.e. - Instead of "I want to lose 10 lbs" you would say "I will workout 5 times per week.Β Or instead of "I want to become a faster skater" you would say "I will follow the full Off-Season Domination '21 program"
To put it simply the process-based goal is what you need to get done in order to achieve your goal.Β If it makes it easier, you can think about the outcomes you want and then work backward to figure out what you need to do to achieve that and make those your goals.
Coach Dan recorded a good video on this. Watch it here.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β My 2021 Hockey training goals
I started playing hockey 5 years ago and thereβs so much I want to improve!Β
My goal this year is to workout 5 days/week and follow a training program that will improve my performance on the ice. Therefore I bought the female hockey training program!
I also plan to do the hip fix program because my hips are really tight and not so flexible.
I want to be healthier when it comes to food and thanks to your articles about food and nutrition Iβve gotten a better idea of how I should be eating. I will be documenting what I've eaten everyday and track my calories. And do meal prep as well so I have my food ready everyday, I think that will be a game changer.
And because we donβt have any on-ice training (due to covid-19) I will be training more stickhandling and practise my shooting at home in my garden. Me and my sister have decided to train together and do this everyday! She is a sledge hockey player.
And with all this I wish to become stronger, lose fat and, because of this, improve my on-ice performance.Β
If I complete this I will reward myself with a new pair of skates :D

The Challenge:
Do some mobility training (mobility session, yoga, stretching) for at least 10 minutes every day for 7 days in a row.
The Hockey Benefit:
How you move is the foundation of everything. It doesnβt matter what your strength and power potentials are if youβre movement quality is so poor that your technique suffers. In many cases, movement quality will make an otherwise good athlete appear unathletic. Learn more here.
