Unlock The Courage To Take Calculated Risks So You Back Yourself To Take On Players, Shoot When You're In The Circle and Throw The Overhead You've Worked On For Months, Without Forcing It At The Wrong Time Or Costing Your Team

You didn't mess up.
You didn't cost the team.
But you also didn't do much either.
No dangerous runs.
No crucial turnovers that shifted momentum.
No shots that made the keeper work.
No game-changing moments.
You played safe and stayed invisible.
That's not a fitness issue and it's not a skill issue.
It's... hesitation to take risks.
You've got the ability.
You've done the training.
You know the skills.
But in the moment when there's space to drive into, when you're one-on-one with a defender, when you're in the circle with a shooting opportunity... you panic.
You second-guess.
You play the safe option.
Because what if you mess up?
What if you're the one who costs the team?
What if you look bad?
So you pass it to someone else.
You don't commit to the tackle.
You don't take the shot.
And you finish the game having done... nothing impactful.
That stops now.
The difference between a good player and dangerous players isn't talent.
It's decision-making under pressure.
Dangerous players back themselves.
They drive into space when they see it.
They take players on.
They shoot when they get into the circle.
They throw the aerial skill they've been working on for months.
They step up when the team needs them.
Not because they're reckless. Because they know how to assess risk vs reward in real time.
They don't force low-percentage plays. They don't take stupid risks.
But they also don't play not to lose.
They play to win.
And that's the shift this workshop gives you.
This isn't about being reckless. It's about being brave and smart.
✅ The 3 factor system to assess risk vs reward so you can make faster, smarter decisions under pressure without overthinking
✅ How to give yourself permission to be dangerous and break free from the "what if I mess up?" loop that keeps you playing safe
✅ When to back yourself - whether that's driving into space, taking on a player, shooting in the circle or executing the skill you've been training (i.e. overhead, slider, tomahawk, etc)
✅ Create impact moments that change games without forcing it or costing your team
✅ How to make decisions faster under pressure so you stop hesitating and start trusting your instincts
✅ Unlock creativity and unpredictability by recognising opportunities and acting on them before the moment passes
This workshop gives you a simple, repeatable framework you can use immediately in your next game.
Using a proven system that works at the highest level and works for club players too.
This workshop is for you if:
✔️ You hesitate when there's no passing options
✔️ You play safe because you're afraid of messing up or costing your team
✔️ You have the skills but struggle to execute them under pressure
✔️ You want to be the player that steps up when the team needs you
✔️ You want to influence games and selections by showing up as a dangerous and decisive player
If this sounds like you, this workshop will change how you think and play.

I'm Lauren Penny and I've made high-pressure decisions at international level, including stepping up for penalty corners, penalty flicks and shootouts.
I've played and coached in 2x Masters Hockey World Cup's (incl. Gold Medal & Bronze Medal) and I'm a Performance Coach who's worked with hundreds of players at all levels.
I've often been in 1v1 situations and in the circle with an opportunity in front of me when that split-second voice says: "Don't mess this up"
But I've also learned how to silence that voice. Not by ignoring it, by having a simple framework that lets me make fast, confident decisions under pressure whether that's driving forward into space, taking on a defender or taking the shot.
I've used this at the highest level of hockey and I've coached players through this exact shift from playing safe and cautious to dangerous and impactful.
And I've seen what happens when players stop hesitating and start backing themselves. They win more ball, score more goals and create moments that change games. And coaches notice this.
