Perfect for Hockey fans!!!

This audiobook is filled with inspiring stories and valuable lessons for young hockey players and their families. It highlights the importance of dedication, sportsmanship, and perseverance in a way that truly motivates. I loved how it balances practical advice with real-life experiences, making it both engaging and insightful. Highly recommend it for anyone passionate about hockey and personal growth!

Steady Inspiration to Hockey Greatness

As I listened to this audiobook, I was immediately reminded of my godchildren who excel in competitive sports like tennis and rugby. While the focus is on hockey, the life lessons presented are universally applicable and will propel any young athlete to greatness. The discussions around the legendary Wayne Gretzky, especially regarding courage and confidence, are particularly impactful. Moreover, the inclusion of Haley Wickenheiser enriches the narrative, inspiring female hockey players and highlighting the importance of diversity in sports. I appreciate how the audiobook effectively balances skill development with the crucial mental side of the game—an aspect that is frequently overlooked. I strongly recommend this audiobook not only for young hockey players but for all sports enthusiasts.

A Helpful Guide for Hockey and life.

It gives very good tools to be prepared for my games like setting goals with the SMART method and I discovered how to use visualization to play my best when I get on the ice and much more. Thank you.

From Skate to Great

To tell the truth of it, I picked this up expecting a bunch of cliches, but it actually delivers some good motivation. Mix of hockey tips real stories, and reminders that mindset matters as much as skill. If you've gotta kid obsessed with it (or just need a reminder that even Gretzky started somewhere, Inspirational Hockey Stories is worth a read.

A fun and inspiring guide for the rink and beyond

This guide has been a game-changer for my 13-year-old hockey-playing son. It’s helped him build routines that will stick with him for the long haul. He was totally into the stories of hockey legends and how they bounced back from setbacks to make history. We listened to it together on the way to his daily practices, and it sparked some great conversations. He even came up with his own set of guidelines to keep him on track. It’s not just a hockey guide—it’s a life guide too.
Highly recommend!

Perfect for Young Players and Hockey Parents

I got this audiobook for my nephew, who just started playing hockey, and I ended up enjoying it just as much as he did. The stories about legendary players like Wayne Gretzky really inspired him, and I loved how the book also focused on sportsmanship and determination, not just skills. The quick-start tips for improving skating and puck-handling were easy to understand and gave him some things to practice outside of his regular training. My brother, his dad, also appreciated the advice on helping young players build confidence and stay motivated. If you have a hockey-loving kid in your life, this is a great listen!

Wow, this audiobook was one of my favourite sports books ever. I played hockey a lot as a kid, and as an adult, I watch some hockey games whenever I have free time. The author shared his experience as a hockey player, and it brings joy to our life. We meet new people and celebrate together when it comes to winning terminal, which requires patience, as the author said. The narrator is perfect for the audiobook, and I almost forgot. I love the music the author shared in the audiobook. It's a fun experience.
