Developing a love for the game is arguably the most important aspect of playing a sport. You have to love what you do. If you don't, there's no reason to put in the effort and hard work. Suppose that goes for anything in life. If there is no joy or excitement, you might want to look elsewhere. 

In the world of sports, people typically assume success goes to those with physically gifted talents and hard training. It's not always the case, the most physical players aren't always the most successful. The secret isn't in the body, it's in your mind. 

In order to find success in whatever sport you choose, you must take care of your emotional and mental side as much as the physical. Players who are able to do so do it through levels of discipline and devotion they have to the sport they love. If you don't love it, it's nearly impossible to be mentally engaged in something that is so physically demanding. Love what you do and you’ll find success.

Lastly, the systematic and technical part of the game. Arguably the coach's favorite, how do you play a 5v5? How do we counter? What's the power play strategy? How do you approach a 1v1 situation?
