IMAGINE REACHING YOUR NEXT LEVEL IN HOCKEY 

and making more impact in games without:

Having Any New Fancy Hockey Skills 

80% of hockey comes down to doing the simple things well. Why spend another 10,000 hours learning and mastering fancy new skills that you don't need or won't use anyway?

Doing Long Or Slow Boring Runs

It doesn't matter how good you are at running, it's about how effective you are when you're on the hockey field. Don't waste time on things that don't get great results.

Burning Out Or Losing Enjoyment

Working harder and doing more physical training will not address your pre-game nerves, self doubt and fear of failure that causes hesitation & inconsistent performances.

THE ULTIMATE PRE-GAME ROUTINE

THAT GETS YOU FEELING CONFIDENT & READY TO PERFORM YOUR BEST

Before you start a game, you probably spend time physically warming up your body to prepare your body...

But do you spend time mentally warming up to prepare your mind?

Here are a few components you need to be ready to perform on game day:

YOU NEED MORE THAN PHYSICAL PREPARATION

If you don't mentally prepare yourself before trials or games you may become nervous and tense, which can leave you feeling lethargic before the game even starts.

As a result this can lead to underperformance and slower reactions that put you on the back foot. When your fears and doubts take control of your thoughts and emotions, it can affect HOW you play and the decisions you make in games.

If you neglect mental preparation, you risk being in the wrong state of mind to perform which causes you to overthink and affects your energy level, skill execution and  timing.

THE NEW WAY TO THRIVE IN 2023!

Imagine beating more players, setting up or scoring more goals and playing at a higher level, without learning new skills or doing more physical training.

FROM INCONSISTENT & LETTING NERVES GETTING THE BETTER OF ME

TO BECOMING AN INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY PLAYER

(without making a junior national team, none of selectors knowing who I was and having zero fancy skills)!

Before I became an international hockey player I used to train hard but before big games and trials I'd often 'psych myself out' letting my nerves get the better of me.

I used to put myself under so much pressure to perform that I ended up playing safe & hesitating in key moments.


As a result my performances were inconsistent and I didn't get selected. 


I was so disappointed that I almost quit, because I started to lose enjoyment and thought "what's the point?"

Lauren Penny has helped

1000+ hockeys to reach the next level over the last 10+ years

When I was striving to reach a higher level I tried:

  • Learning new skills which I never used in games

  • Doing more physical training which didn't address nerves, fear of failure or inconsistent performances

  • Filling my schedule with more things to do that just left me feeling tired, frustrated and burnt out

It was only when a GB coach told me to that to get to my next level I needed to work on my mental game as I lacked consistency (which I had not realised before). 


So that's what I did.

I wanted to improve so that I performed my best consistently and enjoyed hockey again.

Once I invested in my mental game everything changed!

I couldn't believe the difference my mindset made to my game and my performances. 

One of the strategies that made a huge difference for me was to develop a pre-game routine that got me into the zone (i.e. the right state of mind) before games and trials. 

After I discovered how to 'get into the zone' I started to:

  • Get more ball in games

  • Score more goals (7 goals in 3 games)

  • Receive calls from coaches wanting me in their team (club & national level)

Within 6 weeks I made my senior international debut

One day I got a call from the SA women's senior national coach, inviting me to a national selection camp, while I was living and playing hockey in England.

After a gruelling 3 day camp, I got the opportunity to represent my country and made my international debut.

And again I used what I learnt to score an equalising goal against Spain in the last 4 mins of the game.

Just to be clear...

I had NO NEW HOCKEY SKILLS!

The difference was knowing how to get into the right mental state to PLAY WITH MORE CONFIDENCE!

As a result I started performing more consistently... 

IMPORTANT!

Instead of just focussing on improving my skills and fitness, I spent 5-10 mins before games to make sure I'm in the right mental state ready to perform, so that I start the game well and play with confidence. And now you can too with a...
