Growing older, I kept having these reality checks that someday that might not happen and I had to have a backup plan. I worked hard and committed to playing hockey in college. But then, I asked myself what was next. Playing professionally was a dream, but I suddenly realized that the dream I had as a boy was far fetched.

    good. The UND hockey coach talked really fast and was hard to understand at times. I understand the video was shoot a long time ago, but trying to write and listen is very hard to do. I earned that I do not want to be a sports phycologist anytime soon it looks like a ton of work to perform this study. I learned how to pick out parses and demands of the coach while he was coaching.
