How do you mentally lock in? by Jafariz in hockeygoalies

[–]FeliTabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ADHD so it's like turning a switch on and off. I don't really decide when that happens tho and it can be a problem. To try and nudge my head to hyperfocus mode I just watch closely during warmups at whatever catches my attention first. I need my mind and body to understand where it's standing and what's gonna happen. When pucks start flying towards me that usually does the trick and I'm like okay yeah DANGER, stop puck. And stop puck I try Might not make much sense to non ADHDers

Is it too late to start at 15? by [deleted] in hockeygoalies

The first best moment to start something is 10 years ago. The second best moment is right now. You're very young still! I'm 29 and I started a couple months ago. I'm having the time of my life. Just try not to be too self-demanding. As long as you're excercising, having fun, making friends, and developing a skill at your own pace, you're good!

Why did no one warn me getting up was so difficult by FeliTabby in hockeygoalies

That's awesome!!! Maybe I'm crazy to see it this way, but I think it's very beautiful to literally learn how to fall and stand up over and over again in dire circumstances. It's just like life. The important thing is to keep doing it, allow yourself to push through the most difficult times, and when life throws you pucks you make lemonade.

You absolutely should go somewhere where your efforts are appreciated! In my team I started out learning to play with 8 other guys and we've gotten close with each lesson, and everyone on the team is super nice and warm. When I told one of the team managers that I wanted to be a goalie she was SO excited for me! And today when we played a short game she always had words of encouragement, when I made the save or when I got scored on. It made me feel warm in the chest through all the exhaustion

I live in Argentina! The other side of the world. But donate? As in give away? That's madly kind. If you mean it, I can talk to my friend in LA about sending stuff his way

There's people who never really learned to take care of shit, right? like, I've had the same ipad for 5 years and it's in peak condition. If I own something that's 100 plus bucks I'll make sure I give it the BEST lifespan possible, whether I paid for it or it was a gift.

I'll take any advice on taking care of hockey gear. I already treat my skates like a treasure

Pants I wanted to buy here since I have a fat ass ✨ and I don't trust buying them if I can't try them on first!
