Does your hockey player dominate in practice... but tighten up when the game is on the line?

The speed is there.
The skill is there.
But when the pressure hits, confidence disappears.

Mental Toughness for Young Hockey Players helps athletes develop the confidence, focus, and mental strength they need to perform under pressure - shift after shift, game after game.

This book teaches young players how to stay composed during big moments, recover quickly from mistakes, and compete with confidence instead of fear.

Inside, players, parents, and coaches will discover practical mindset tools to help athletes:

- Stay calm during high-pressure shifts and close games
- Bounce back quickly after turnovers, missed shots, or penalties
- Overcome game-day nerves and performance anxiety
- Stop overthinking and play fast, confident hockey
- Build a consistent pre-game mental routine
- Develop resilience that carries beyond the rink

Hockey is a fast, emotional game - and without mental training, one mistake can turn into an entire bad period. This book teaches players how to reset mentally and stay locked in, no matter the situation.

This guide breaks sports psychology down into clear, age-appropriate lessons young athletes can actually understand and apply.

Parents will learn how to support confidence without adding pressure.
Coaches will gain mental tools they can reinforce on the bench and at practice.
