COAAA defensemen if all you do under pressure is chip pucks into the corner or fire weak shots from the blue line, scouts won’t notice you.
Coaches use fear to keep you “safe,” but playing scared doesn’t get you recruited.
Even elite skaters like Hughes, Makar, and the Hutson brothers would look average if they forced skill into every situation instead of knowing when to use it.
That’s the difference the mental game.
Confidence and decision making working instinctively together so your skills actually show up in games.
The truth is, coaches control your ice time, but they don’t really teach defensemen how to grow.
I put together a full breakdown comparing Hughes and Makar’s games, so you can see exactly what parts of your mental game you might be missing.
Comment 8VS43 and I’ll send it over.
