Inspiring Story: How Missing Out on Selection Helped Cody Reached The Next Level in Hockey

“A setback is the start of all great achievements”

People often give up when they are faced with rejection, disappointment or missing out on selection, choosing to believe that they’re simply not good enough.

Instead of giving up on his dreams, missing out on selection only made Cody want it more so he decided to work harder.

But he knew it wasn’t just about working hard, he had to be smart and use the time he had wisely on things that would actually make a difference.

That’s when Cody got in touch with me.

He was looking for guidance on how to break through to become a professional hockey player, to be more confident and get noticed despite setbacks he faced.

I loved his fighting attitude so I agreed to take him through my Mentorship Program

Over 12 weeks we covered the 4 core pillars of what it takes to reach a higher level and we fine tuned everything from mindset, fitness, nutrition, recovery, tactical game, skills, etc.

Two years on and he is much closer to reaching goals than he ever imagined

He agreed to share his journey in an interview with the hope of inspiring others and showing what is possible when you have the right tools:

In the video interview below Cody reveals how he:

  • Overcame his nerves and self doubt
  • Became more consistent in training & games
  • Built confidence in himself to compete against players in Germany
  • Used his biggest setback of missing out to his advantage
  • Became more positive, motivated and focussed
  • Transformed his game with essential skills most players aren’t taught
