Move it

Every player should find one unique talent or skill to really work at and develop to the best of their ability. Great shot, speed, knowledge of the game..etc. I must tell you though, that if you've got the moves, I mean really have what it takes to dodge, fake, turn, stop and start you will stand out on any rink or any turf. You don't have to have the hardest shot, or the fastest feet, but if no one can catch you or defend against you, the crowd will notice - so will the other teams. This may not make you the goal scoring king, but it will probably help rack up a lot of assists, and yes - the goals will start to add up. Of course it takes a lot of natural ability and a lot of hard work "practice" to really develop those moves. The more effortless it looks, the harder you probably worked to make it look that way. Goalies can always work on their moves too. Great moves aren't always for offense. Defense and net tenders need to move even better than their opponent. Get your timing down and find your groove, and move.
