By knowing and understanding your HockeyType, you can gain insight into your biologically based personality traits to understand how those traits influence you as a player (or a coach). You’ll understand why some players are intense and driven and others more laid-back and easygoing. Why some players can do the same drill over and over and never get bored, while another gets bored after 2 reps. Why some players get chippy during a game, and others can play at an even keel shift after shift, game after game, no matter what is going on around them. In other words, knowing your HockeyType helps you gain a better understanding of what’s going on in your head that causes you to think, act, and feel the way you do.
