Episode Description
So here we are, the first week in August, summer is winding down and your young ones out there will be heading back to school soon.  This is a great time to reflect on what you had hoped you would have accomplished this summer from a hockey training perspective thus far.  Have you been crushing it or have you lacked focus and maybe even been really lazy the last couple of months?  If this sounds like you, don't worry, as today is a great day to begin to get things back on track where you're winning most days again.

If you've been a long-time listener of the Hockey Journey Podcast, you know that I love reading books.  Here are a few that crossed my path at some point when I was struggling with laziness and lack of focus, that got me operating at a more dialed-in and productive level and I'd like to share some of them with you here today.  Know that I'm only scratching the surface of all the learning goodness in each of the titles.  If something really connects with you by the end of this episode, I highly encourage you to pick up a copy of your own.  I'll put the links to each of the titles below.  

As always, thanks for stopping by, enjoy this episode, and have a wonderfully productive day!!
