My speech to my hometown high school would probably revolve around the fact that you can’t skip out on hard work. Having an immense amount of talent means nothing if you don’t keep constantly practicing day in and day out to become better with the aim to be the best. Having more talent than others is a blessing and shouldn’t be wasted. Someone is always out there practicing and working harder with to become better than you and you have to do the same and be in that mind set almost all the time. Not only does this go for hockey, but it’s also relevant in anything you do in life. You won’t just wake up one day and be the best at your craft. Whether it’s the medical field, financial field, a sport, or something else you always have to work at perfecting your knowledge and getting better each and every day. Never get complacent and that’s how you’ll be successful in life no matter what you decide to pursue.
