To put it simple:
train hard and train right. I can not put
enough emphases on how important it is to train the right way. I will
use myself as an example, when I was a younger I had more drive than
knowledge.
When I was 15 I spend 30 - 50
hours in a week with hockey. When looking back now, I could
have used all of that time much more effectively. I was doing too much
and a lot the wrong way. That is why my game wasn't improving. Also,
lots of young players I know have had problems with their back and knees
because of poor quality of training.
