This line delivered by Kurt Russell, playing Herb Brooks in the movie Miracle, couldn’t be more true—not just for sports but for life. Great moments, the ones we dream about, don’t just happen. They’re the result of how we seize the great opportunities we have every day—especially in practice.
For athletes, every practice is an opportunity to: ✔️ Be intentional with every movement, every rep, every drill. ✔️ Maximize effort to ensure every action aligns with game-like intensity. ✔️ Mentally prepare by visualizing game situations—how they’ll respond under pressure, make decisions, and execute when it matters most.
When you train with purpose and consistency, the “great moments” will take care of themselves. The preparation you put in creates the confidence and clarity you need to rise to any occasion.
As coaches, how do you prepare your players to seize all opportunities so the great moments take care of themselves? 💪
