Official practices start one week from today! I can't wait to get back out there! I've probably said that in every post for a while, but I don't care. I'm excited! I want to keep getting better and get this year started because I have a lot of expectations for myself and for the team this year, and I'm tired of just thinking about it; I want to start doing!
My Team Goals:
1.) Go undefeated at home.
2.) Win our regular season division title.
3.) Repeat as league champions.
4.) Win nationals.
Now, after being on the team last year, I realize that all of these goals are well within reach, and, I think, for all of the returning vets it would be a disappointment if we don't accomplish them. I also realize that for our team to reach these goals, our leaders are going to have to lead, and lead well. I'm up for it. I want to get back to nationals, and I want to win it all this year. But it's not going to happen just because I want it to happen. We're going to have to work hard as a team to get it done.
My Individual Goals:
1.) Commit to a school by the end of December.
2.) Work my way up to the first power play and penalty kill units.
3.) Be a leader on and off the ice.
4.) Score 30 points or more.
5.) Be our team's best defenseman in games and in practice.
6.) Play tough every shift.
7.) Play smart every shift.
8.) Get better every day.
9.) Read as many books as I can. (You might laugh at this one, but it's a legitimate goal. I have to keep my brain active because I will be going to school at this time next year.)
10.) Have more fun than I did last year!
It's always good to make goals to hold yourself accountable during the year. These goals aren't set in stone, but I'm going to hold myself to really high standards this year. I want this to be an awesome year for me, and I'm so ready to meet all the challenges that this season holds and most importantly to have fun.
Great goals! Very aggressive. I love it! We hope you achieve them all.
