from the Edmonton Journal,
“My experience is that athletes spend so much time on the tactical, the technical and the physical, and they just assume that the mental aspect will take care of itself,” said sports psychologist Dr. John Dunn from the University of Alberta.
“Obviously, in my profession, we think that what we take care of is trainable. Part of my job is to teach them how to train."…
Veteran Ethan Moreau, admittedly a traditionalist when it comes to most hockey matters, is a proponent of having a recruit like Dunn on board.
Ditto for Shawn Horcoff.
“I think it’s been something that’s been lacking—not just for my game but for our team,” Moreau said.
