VSV Hockey Academy
Game-Changer for Player Development
We’ve started giving the Players Journal to every athlete at VSV, and the results speak for themselves. Players are more engaged, accountable, and aware of their habits — on and off the ice. The prompts encourage honest self-reflection, and the goal-setting section is perfect for tracking progress throughout the season. This is more than just a notebook; it's a development tool every serious player should have.
