This year I decided to try levelling up my strength training. When I asked my skate coach what I should be doing between classes to become an elite skater, he said eat better including more protein, and get stronger at the gym six days a week.

I successfully went from zero to two days a week for the last six months, and can directly see the results on my skating skills, power, and other gameplay stuff. I started eating better after that conversation and some research into how. So now I decided it was time to try getting stronger more often.

I was listening to a podcast talking about what it takes to get to high level hockey, and in the middle of the conversation there was an implied mention about gym workouts everyday, and this was so baseline, so expected, no one had to comment on that or make it explicit. It was just understood. And they are clearly also practicing and playing games while doing that. So I realized I need to go for it, if I want to get to my goals.
