dealing digest food good halfway learn looking peak plate point start turning
Everything?s a turning point now. We?re looking at the halfway mark. It?s more of dealing with what?s on our plate. We don?t want to put too much on our plate right now, because A, we?re going to get indigestion, and B, we?re going to get fat. We don?t want to look at this as getting too good too quickly. We want to digest our food and learn and start to peak at the right times.

actions asking body entire guys hockey language practice questions
Their body language would have to be different. You still have guys asking questions in a 6-2 hockey game. They?re being men. I have to practice the same thing that I?m preaching, too. There has to be accountability for our actions -- myself and our entire club.

We have to deal with the hand that we?re dealt. We have to look at it as the glass being half-full. This is a challenge. A lot of times when you?re short, it becomes a time to learn. That?s what we?re hoping is going to happen.
