    The Ride To The Rink - The 3 Things You Should Say To Your Parents Before You Skate

    The Ride To The Rink - The 3 Things You Should Say To Your Parents Before You Skate

    This week's 5 minute long episode promises to be a game-changer for young skaters and goalies as Lee addresses the importance of expressing gratitude and appreciation to parents or guardians. 

    We're flipping the script on our previous episode that advised parents on the key messages to share with their kids before a game. Now, it's the kids' turn to learn what they can say in return to acknowledge and appreciate their parents' support.

    We dissect three powerful phrases - 'Thank you for supporting me,' 'I love playing hockey,' and 'I love you', reflecting on the positive impact they can have on parents. We delve into the sacrifices parents make and encourage the young ones to recognize this through simple acknowledgments. 

    So, strap in for this heartfelt ride to the rink, which wraps up with a reminder to relish the journey and the game we all love. And remember, the right words can make the ride to the rink even more enjoyable.

    NHLer, Olympian, and World Junior Champion Adrien Plavsic

    NHLer, Olympian, and World Junior Champion Adrien Plavsic

    Imagine playing in D1 college, the world junior championships (and winning gold) and then competing in the Olympics in just 5 years. Then having an NHL and international career after. 

    Our guest, Adrien Plavsic, did just that. But above and beyond that impressive hockey resume, he is a great person who is dedicated to helping others.

    You will hear about how he has dedicated his life to the mental fitness space and discuss how as a child he used his imagination (or what he now knows is visualization) to propel him towards reaching his goals. 

    A lot of gold (pun intended) in this one!

    Lance Pitlick - Former NHL Hockey Player and Career Entrepreneur

    Lance Pitlick - Former NHL Hockey Player and Career Entrepreneur

    In this episode of the Performance Collective™ Podcast, Dr. Sinclair interviews the former professional NHL hockey player, hockey coach, and career entrepreneur, Lance Pitlick. 

    SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

    • Short sprints of hard and focused work can put you ahead of others in a relatively short period of time. Lance did this when he taught himself to stickhandle left-handed in 90 days.
    • Set a goal, build a system to accomplish your goal, and get to work.
    • We have to maximize our effectiveness in the short time we have. Use data to understand the true scope of the situation. 

    Lance was born in Minnesota, started playing youth hockey in 1986, played hockey for the University of Minnesota, and was drafted into the NHL in the 9th Round (180th Overall) to the Minnesota North Stars, and played 1st NHL Game at 27 Years Old. Lance had a 12-year professional hockey career that spanned 393 NHL Games as he played with the Ottawa Senators and the Florida Panthers. 

    Following his hockey career, Lance coached high school hockey for 17 years and retired as a Level 5 USA Hockey Master Coach. In 2009 Lance started providing private off-Ice stickhandling, passing, and shooting lessons with Pitlick Off-Ice Stickhandling and Shooting Training (sweethockeycoach.com). Additionally, Lance invented SweetHands Stick Handling and was the Trainer and Founder of Snipers Edge Hockey, which he sold in 2018. 

    In 2011, Lance launched Online Hockey Training.com (onlinehockeytraining.com), which houses the world's largest database of off-Ice stickhandling, passing, and shooting drill videos. In 2016 Lance’s dedication to building exceptional stickhandling skills drove him to teach himself how to stickhandle, pass, and shoot with his left (opposite) hand.

    In 2022, Lance launched the Hockey Journey Podcast, where he has produced over 100 episodes detailing stories of successful hockey players.

    Lance’s life objective is to help as many hockey players as he can to reach their hockey dreams. Both of Lance’s sons have been drafted into the NHL.
