This week, Meaghan and Ashley dive into the power of goal setting—both in hockey and in life. What’s more important: the goals you score on the ice or the ones you set for yourself? Can you balance both?

We explore the structure of SMART goals, the unpredictability of hockey, and how young players often measure success by stats rather than teamwork. Ashely shares a story about kids defining the “best player” by goal count, sparking a deeper conversation about honoring every position on the ice. Plus, Ashley introduces the A to E Goal-Setting Model, breaking down the journey from Action Plan to Evolution.

We’ll also talk about intention, visualization, and accountability—because setting goals isn’t just about achievement, it’s about growth. And in our Gloves Off moment: Do you set goals with your players—on and off the ice? And what keeps you accountable to your own? Let’s talk strategy, mindset, and leveling up in every aspect of life!
