It’s mid-summer. You’re in stride.
You’ve been grinding — lifting, skating, running, stickhandling in the driveway, chasing that vision of success locked in your heart.
Your body’s starting to change.
Your hands feel smoother.
Maybe you’ve got a line on where you’ll play next season.
This is the season when training feels good — when everything is clicking.
But here’s the truth:
Anyone can train when it’s easy.
The real ones — the savage ones — train when it’s not.
When it hurts.
When they’re tired.
When the lake is calling, and the boat is full of friends and fun.
But not you.
You’re different.
You’re in the crucible — the sacred space where real players are formed.
Where mindset is refined.
Where pain becomes fuel and sacrifice becomes strength.
True growth isn’t forged in ease.
It’s forged in adversity.
So wherever you are in your summer grind — whether you’re riding momentum or dragging yourself through the valley — remember this:
Adversity is part of the training.
And the ones who embrace it now…
Will be the ones who dominate when the puck drops.
Be that player today.
Train like that player.
Think like that player.
And watch what happens.
