what am i suposed to do about this?
okay. i have been playing hockey for 7 years now, and im having a huge problem. i dont always play good and i dont know why. i dont like getting hurt, i can usually tell myself 'it doesnt matter just go out and play' , so then i go out and play aggressive, but i dont skate hard. my mom drives me crazy on hockey, i tell her but she wont listen, she wants me to quit hockey, but i dont want, i need to change on the ice and off the ice. how do i do this, or prepare for this? thanks in advance. if you need more details feel free to ask.

I know how hard it is to switch between modes. I played softball and after I got a line drive in the chest from pitching, I didn't play the same way. I wanted to play but I didn't want to get hurt either so I would hold back a little. The best way out of it is by practicing maybe every day on the ice. If you train yourself to be really good, you won't worry about getting hurt because you know your good enough not too. The reason you do good on some games and not others is because you afraid and have lack of confidence in your abilities. The reason you get aggressive is because of your frustration in the games. If you train yourself and begin to have confidence in yourself, the aggressiveness will go away. Don't add your mother into the mix because this about you and only you. It is really hard for parents to understand because they went through the situation in a different time period.

This sounds more like a self-esteem issue than a hockey issue. I'm sure your Mom wants you to quit because she hates to see you so upset and she thinks hockey is the real issue. Why is hockey so important to you? Do you love it or does it play some other role in your life? Is your mother willing to assist you in getting help? If so, see if she'll help you find a good sports psychologist. These are professionals who specialize in all the mental and psychological aspects of sports. Someone may be able to help you with this problem. Good Luck!
