Description
What separates the good hockey players from the great ones? That edge of talent? That ounce of speed? Above all, it comes down to how prepared they are game in and game out, how mentally focused and physically primed. And for each player, the process of getting into the game before stepping on the ice is unique. From Jeremy Roenick’s teammate teasing to Mike Gartner’s perfect preparation, from Wayne Gretzky’s enormous appetite to Gary Roberts’s scientific nutrition, The Mental Game takes a look inside the dressing room, inside the game-day routine and inside the minds of six NHL stars.
