"I thought it was just a sport. Now I know it's a way of life!"
Dan (Knight #87)
Learning to skate, pass, stick handle, shoot, check. Zones, rules, positions, lanes. Team mates, opposing players, drills, systems. Equipment, transit, logistics, time management. Conditioning, strength, fitness, speed. Muscular cardio vascular respiratory chemistry. Adrenaline, norepinephrine, dopamine, lactic acid. Diet, hydration, energy, physiology. Strains, sprains, bruises, tears. Direction, timing, benchmarks, milestones. Discipline, honesty, study, practice. Fun, work, friendship, compete. The compleat skater will factor it all in, with an overarching sense of politik.
