As you prepare for your game or race, it is important to remember that you need to focus on what you want to accomplish and to develop a strategy to execute it. Your coaches can only do so much to prepare you physically and mentally. Game time is your opportunity to take what they have laid out for you and to make it happen. They can tell you their observations and how to improve, but ultimately you and only you can pull the trigger.

Do not focus on the other team and what their weaknesses might be (on the same note, do not worship or admire them either). Even the best of teams have plenty to work on and your energy should not be wasted building yourself up. That energy you expend on them could be spent much more wisely getting into the zone and preparing for how you will perform. While skill development and conditioning are all necessary components for success, control of your emotions and mental faculties is what will separate the champions from the rest.

It is far better to play smart than to force things - take your time to line things up. Take the time today to write down 3 things you want to work on at the game today. Then for each thing, write 1 or 2 ways you could make that happen. Then review that list repeatedly. Psych yourself up. Get yourself into the zone. Spend some quiet time to visualize yourself making great passes, making smart checks, breaking the puck out, and shooting on net. The more you are able to see yourself do it, the more likely you will accomplish your goals. It is surprising what you can do when you have the will to do it. Come charged up and ready to go FOR YOU and THE TEAM, not for how good or bad the other team is. This is your battle, this is your time to show yourself what you can do when you are 100% focused.

Taking good care of our bodies is something that many of us do without giving it a second thought. We may eat properly, go to the gym, play squash, swim or take part in any other kind of exercise that is good for us. Eating correctly doe not really throw that many problems up at us, there may be the odd thing here and there that may not agree with us but on the whole eating well and healthily is a good starting point on the road to be fit and in good condition. The body however is a complicated piece of machinery and although it needs both fuel from food and exercise to stay healthy there is a very fine balance between too much of either aspect of this.

We need to exercise to strengthen and develop our muscle group as well as to keep our vital organs strong and healthy, such as our heart and lungs, but too much exercise can be harmful to the body if not understood correctly and approached in the correct manner. Each sport that we participate in uses some kind of muscle strength to complete tasks, whether it be golf, soccer, swimming or cycling, all require a certain amount of muscle strength but each sport uses different muscles and uses them in a different way to the way they may be used in another discipline. For instance an athlete who runs in the 100 meters at the Olympics uses his muscles in a totally different way to the way a 1500 meter runner would use and develop his. Both are using leg muscles and arm muscles to propel themselves but in a totally different way.
This is the same with each sport, and to ensure that we stay injury free when playing sport or keeping fit it is important to understand what muscle groups we are using, how much we need to train them and how to ensure that we do not injure those muscles.

An effective warm up routine is always a wise idea no matter what sport you will be taking part in, stretching the relevant muscle groups that are going to be used is vital to ensure that you do not tear any muscles. But do not think by doing a quick stretch that everything will be ok, you need to stretch thoroughly and not only the major muscle groups that are being used but the stabilising muscles also. For instance a golfer should stretch his shoulders, triceps, biceps and forearms before taking his first swing of the day and then take a few slower swings to give the muscles that extra stretch.

The same goes for all sports, common sense must prevail before starting. But taking care of your muscles is not the only thing that need that you should be aware of to prevent injury in sport. Your eyes are possibly more important than any muscle group in the body, you can recover from a torn hamstring but a golf ball or hockey puck to the eye is a totally different thing. In any activity where it is possible to wear protective eyewear you should do so. Even where there is not an inherent danger of getting hit in the eye from a flying object the rays from the sun can still do hidden damage to your eyes that over a prolonged period of time can result in severely impaired eyesight. Sports eyewear has come a long way over the past ten years, sports glasses are now more fashionable, lighter and more comfortable to wear than ever before so you should have no excuse for not putting on the correct eyewear as soon as you have finished your sports warm up.

Hockey is a sport in which two teams trying to maneuver a hard round disc called a puck into rival's net, using a hockey stick. This sport is also played at college-level, and each college or institution may have its own hockey team. Intra-collegiate or inter-collegiate hockey tournaments may be held all year round. Many colleges provide necessary infrastructure, guidance, finance, and support for development of hockey. Colleges may have different teams and clubs. A single college may have more than one hockey team, and support groups. Hockey at college level may include field hockey, ice hockey, roller hockey, and its various forms such as Air hockey, Ball hockey, Bandy, Broomball, Bubble hockey, Floorball, and Foot hockey.

Air hockey is played indoors by using a puck on a special table known as Air Hockey Table. Ball hockey is somewhat analogous to ice hockey, but instead of a puck, a ball is used. Bandy is a form of hockey played with a ball on a football-sized ice ground, usually in the open. Bubble hockey is played on a table sealed with plastic. Floorball, or Floor hockey, is a type of hockey played in a gym using a plastic stick, and hollow ball. Furthermore, Foot hockey is played with a hairless tennis ball, and using only feet. Ringette is an ice hockey variation, designed for female players. It uses a straight stick, and a rubber ring. Skater hockey is a kind of inline hockey, played with a ball. Table hockey is an indoor game played usually on a flat surface like a tabletop. Underwater hockey is played on the floor of a swimming pool.

The National Hockey League (NHL) displays names of hockey teams on its website. Some of the names are New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Atlanta Thrashers, and Carolina Hurricanes. Other examples include Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, Anaheim Mighty Ducks, and St. Louis Blues.

Hockey provides detailed information on Hockey, Hockey Jerseys, Hockey Tickets, Hockey Equipment and more. Hockey is affiliated with Ice Hockey Goalie Equipment.

If you're ready to begin playing air hockey there are some important things you need to know before you begin. If you want to play the right way you need to know a minimum of 5 air hockey rules. Just follow these five rules for a fun, fair game of air hockey.

1. One of the most overlooked rules when playing air hockey is using your mallet to stop the puck. More specifically lifting the mallet and placing it on top of the puck. This is known as "topping" and cannot be done at any time whether before a serve or after a serve during play.

This is probably the one rule you want to keep in your back pocket next time you play. More than likely your opponent will not remember this rule and at some point during play will "top" the puck. This is a foul and you will receive the puck.

2. Another rule that many forget in their attempt to strike the puck is reaching too far and crossing the center line with their mallet. This results in a foul and the puck is given to the other player.

I have been guilty of this one way to many times. I get so focused on the game that when the puck inevitably slow down in the center of the table I reach to gain that extra advantage over my opponent only to reach to far giving the advantage back to my opponent. Don't make this mistake and watch to make sure your opponent doesn't make it to.

3. In reference to the above rule, there is a rule that states, "When the puck is in contact with any part of the center line, either player may strike the puck." So you can cross the center line with your mallet in an attempt to strike the puck only when the puck is in contact with the center line.

4. Once the puck crosses the center line a player has 7 seconds to execute the shot. Failure to hit the puck back to the opposing player's side results in a foul and the puck will be given back to the opposing player.

5. And the fifth rule to be aware is also the easiest to remember, what score do you need to win the air hockey game? Well the answer is 7. Just remember lucky number 7 and you'll know what you need to win in the game of air hockey.

So if you really want to play air hockey follow these minimum of 5 rules and chances are you will catch your opponent breaking one of them!

You know those perfect fitting black pants and that really cute and expensive top you just bought? Or wait... What about that sexy black dress that just hangs in your closet? I know you know what I am talking about. Well what if I told you that I found the perfect excuse for you to show off those fabulous abandoned clothes? Its really simple actually. All you need to do is host an elegant cocktail party at your home. If you do this the right way, then it shouldnt be that expensive but it will look it.

For starters you need to know what your guests like to drink and come up with some sort of cocktail theme. For example, flavored vodkas seem to be popular, why not do a theme around that and have a martini night. Then you can easily pair up some appetizers that go well with this theme. The Tomato Vodka Aspic appetizer is a perfect pairing with Vodka martinis. Not only is this elegant looking but its one of the most unique appetizers I have run across.

Tomato Vodka Aspic

Ingredients

4 C. fresh or canned tomato juice

1/2 C. lemon juice

1/2 C. vodka, or substitute 1/2 C. additional tomato juice

1 Tbs. horseradish

1 tsp. celery salt

1 tsp. hot red pepper sauce

1/2 tsp. salt or to taste

1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

2 envelopes ( 1/4 oz. each) unflavored gelatin

1/4 C. minced celery

1/4 C. minced green onion

2 Tbs. minced fresh basil, tarragon or parsley

1/4 C. thinly sliced olives, optional

Directions

In a large bowl combine the tomato juice, lemon juice, vodka, horseradish, celery salt, hot red pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 C. of the tomato mixture into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the surface of the juice gently, scattering it evenly so it does not clump. Let the gelatin bloom in the bowl, about 5 minutes. Place the remaining tomato mixture in a non-reactive saucepan and warm it gently. Do not boil. Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot tomato juice and stir to dissolve it. Remove it from heat. Cool to room temperature. For a fun presentation, serve the aspic in martini glasses. Evenly divide the celery, onion, herb of choice and olives, if you use them, into 6 or 8 martini glasses. Pour the cooled aspic mixture over the top of the vegetables and refrigerate until its firm. The aspic also may be chilled in a 6-C. mold or bowl. If you use one mold, chill the aspic mixture in the refrigerator until it has a slushy texture, and then fold in the vegetables and herbs. Pour the mixture into a mold and chill until firm. Turn out the mold to serve.

If you decide to go for more of a Hawaiian themed party with frozen or iced mixed drinks, then something like the Hawaiian Sweet and Sour Meat Balls appetizer would work. For a cocktail idea try the Black Mango Screwdriver, this will surely impress your friends.

Hawaiian Sweet and Sour Meat Balls

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. ground beef

2 eggs

4 Tbs. cornstarch

1 onion, minced

1/4 tsp. pepper

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. garlic powder or grated garlic

2 Tbs. salad oil

1 1/4 C. pineapple juice

1 Tbs. soy sauce

3 Tbs. wine vinegar

1/3 C. water

1/2 C. brown sugar

2 C. fresh pineapple and papaya chunks

2 green peppers, cut bite size

Directions

Blend together beef, eggs, 1 tsp. cornstarch, onion, pepper, nutmeg, salt and garlic. Form into 1-inch balls. Heat oil in skillet and brown meat balls on all sides. In a large saucepan, add remaining cornstarch to pineapple juice along with soy sauce, vinegar, water and brown sugar. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Add meat balls, fruit and green pepper and cook 5 minutes or until fruit is well heated. Sprinkle with chopped Hawaiian macadamia nuts or slivered almonds.

If you decide to serve wine then the best pairing for this would be cheese. The Gouda Cheese Fondue would be perfect with wine.

Gouda Cheese Fondue

Ingredients

1 large clove garlic, sliced in half lengthwise

1/2 C. dry white wine

5 oz. mozzarella, shredded

5 oz. aged Gouda cheese, shredded

1 Tbs. cornstarch

2 Tbs. Kirsch

Freshly ground black pepper

Freshly grated nutmeg

1 baguette or sourdough loaf, cut into 2-inch cubes

Crisp breadsticks

Assorted vegetables, cooked ham, and cured sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Set a fondue pot stand with a heat source, or an electric warming tray, in the middle of your dining table, and arrange around it individual serving plates accompanied by long fondue forks for dipping.

Rub the inside bottom of a fondue pot or enameled cast-iron casserole with the cut sides of the garlic halves, then discard the garlic. Put the pan over high heat and immediately add the wine, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to dissolve the garlic residue.

Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, use your fingers to toss the two cheeses together with the cornstarch, until evenly combined. Reduce the heat under the pot or casserole to low and add the cheese-cornstarch mixture. Stir continuously until the mixture is thoroughly melted and smooth. Stir in the Kirsch and season with a little freshly ground black pepper and just a small pinch of nutmeg.

While the fondue is cooking, spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet. Put them in the preheated oven and bake just until they are lightly toasted, 5-7 minutes, taking care that they dont turn too brown or burn.

Carefully transfer the pot or casserole of fondue to the table, placing it above a gentle tabletop heat source that will keep the fondue warm during eating. Serve the fondue immediately, accompanied by the bread, vegetables, and meats, offering long fondue forks with which each person can spear bites of bread, vegetable, or meat and dip them into the cheese.

Yield: 4 servings

Even though this is suppose to be an elegant cocktail party, there is nothing wrong with having beer and what could be better then serving Beerballs to complement the beer?

Ingredients

3 slices dried bread

1 tsp. salt

3/4 C. warm water

1/4 C. olive oil

2 lb. ground beef

2 garlic cloves

1 medium onion, chopped

1/2 tsp. pepper

Now that this is accomplished there are still some other things you need to think about and prepare for before actually hosting this party.

Food Preparation

When it comes time to prepare the appetizers make sure they are all bite sized. This is a cocktail party, not a formal dinner so your guests will be walking around or sitting in your living room. None of your guests are going to want to spill anything on their dressy clothes nor do you want any of them to spill on your furniture.

Decorations

As far as decorating goes, the only thing you will really need to spend money on are candles. Since this is an elegant cocktail party you should dim your lights and place candles where ever you can., just dont over do it. If you decide to play some music, keep it low so your guest can have conversations with one another.

Invitations

Send out some fancy home made invitations and make it be known that the dress code is formal, but the party will be a night to unwind and have fun. You can find many homemade invitations on craft web sites.

All you ladies out there better take advantage of hosting a party like this. You need to dress up every once in a while and now I have given you the perfect excuse to! Dont forget to take plenty of pictures. It is not an everyday occurrence that you have all your friends in one place dressed up and smiling.
