AA Tier 2 Tryout Weekend: Maverick Mindset
This weekend, athletes across California and beyond are stepping into AA Tier 2 tryouts.
Remember: you are not there to prove your worth. You are there to show your work.
Control what you can control: your effort, attitude, body language, compete level, and response after mistakes.
A Maverick does not chase perfection. A Maverick prepares, competes, resets, and keeps going.
Michael Jordan said, “I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Go into the weekend with confidence. One drill, one shift, one moment at a time.
Go compete. Go grow. Go be a Maverick.
Side Quest: Prepare Like a Maverick
Before tryouts, take 5 minutes and write down:
3 things you can control6 words that describe the player you want to be9 deep breaths before you walk into the rink
Then say this to yourself:
“I am prepared. I am present. I am ready.”
