Ashtasticness

I stopped going to the adult hockey practices because they merged A/B with C/D so now I can't go there just to learn without being bitched at by upper level players. I want to go and learn and have a good time. Then, I have people asking me why I don't go anymore. There's a reason why I didn't go to the all level classes. It really takes the fun out of going.

Awesome, glad I read this. I always feel like there's too much room in the toe area so this is a good idea.

Realizing I'm losing gaps of time and forgetting if I did certain things. It makes me really concerned. My bf left for a few weeks for work and left me some money for groceries. I realized yesterday it was not in the spot I left it in. I looked everywhere I can't find it. I was saving it this whole time for when I had to get groceries and I can't even find it. I kept $80 in my purse so $120 just disappeared. Makes me feel like crap that his money is just gone. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. I don't know if I'm just obscenely forgetful or if it's a more serious issue.

I really think it depends on your athleticism and your willingness to learn and practice and do what coaches tell you to do. I mean really listen and take their advice. I started at the same time as a a couple guys. I'm way better of a skater. I don't have much confidence in my hockey skills but I would say I'm way farther along than they are by a long shot. I don't expect to ever be amazing but if you want to improve, you have to make that happen on your own. I work out, I eat right, I go to practices, practice off ice, and (what I think is most important) I watch/ask questions/listen to people better than me. You can't feel bad or get defeated if someone is better than you. Learn from them, ask them questions, and have a drive to be better than you are now. There was one day at an adult practice (proflow) that they had us skate backward to the blue line, switch and go forward to red, etc and I had no idea how to skate backward and I was SO embarassed. I was so mad and when I finally got home I cried. But now, I skate backward and transition decently enough (better than some). :) if you wanna make it happen, make it happen.
