Power Play: Mental Toughness for Hockey and Beyond
ISBN 978-160179-099-6
Regular $29.95 • Special $24.95
260 pages • 5.35” x 8.35” • 11 oz
Author - Aynsley M. Smith, R.N., Ph.D.

Power Play provides detailed information that will assist players, coaches and parents to gain a better understanding of the concepts and strategies to improve Mental Toughness, and as a result, increase the player’s enjoyment of the game.

“A coach must be part teacher, administrator, father, recruiter, physiologist, strategist, scholar, evaluator, motivator and psychologist. Knowledge is essential in all these areas and with today’s athlete, an understanding of sports psychology is imperative. Aynsley Smith’s Power Play is an invaluable tool for any coach and a practical aid for any player in developing mental toughness skills. I have used the material in Power Play with every team I’ve coached.”

Kevin Constantine,

Head Coach,

Pittsburgh Penguins, Calgary Flames & San Jose Sharks

“The principles and exercises in Power Play have benefitted me both professionally and with the Olympic teams. Power Play will greatly enhance all players’ mental preparation and development in hockey.”

Jim Johannson, US Olympic Hockey Team

“I think Power Play, by Aynsley Smith, is one of the most practical books written on mental preparation for practices and games. It is based on a great deal of experience with hockey players and teams. Practical examples, exercises and diagrams make it easy for coaches and players to learn about accepting responsibility, gaining control of our own destiny, setting long and short term goals, improving confidence, relaxing, and rehearsing mentally. It is a good book for coaches and players at every level. I think it should be required reading for all coaches.”

Dr. Jack Blatherwick, Sports Physiologist, USA Hockey

The Student-Athlete and College Recruiting
ISBN 978-1880941-86-7
Regular $24.95 • Special $21.95
190 pages • 5.35” x 8.35” • 8 oz
Author - Rick Wire.

Rick Wire is a nationally known speaker and is considered an expert in the field of athletic scholarships and the recruiting process. He has been the premiere speaker at Athletic Director Conferences as well as Nike athletic camps, college camps, and high schools all over the country.

Rick developed an educational program in 1997 to help student-athletes and parents go through the collegiate recruiting process. “The Student-Athlete and College Recruiting” is an educational program designed to help ALL student-athletes, male and female, and their parents, prepare for college athletics and the recruiting process. They will learn what it takes to compete at the NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA, and Junior College level and how difficult it is to obtain a college athletic scholarship. Our program is designed to be used as early as 9th grade so they will have time to properly prepare mentally, physically, and academically for college.

The recruiting process can be very confusing with all the NCAA regulations concerning academics and athletics. There’s no way for an athletic director, counselor, principal, coach or parent to keep track of all these regulations for all sports. Our programs will teach you how to create a “Blueprint for Success” to help student-athletes achieve their ACADEMIC and ATHLETIC goals for college. Remember, every child’s blueprint will be different!

"Your program is the best I have ever seen for giving coaches, parents, and even guidance counselors a basic understanding of the recruiting process along with a “how to” guide for realistic marketing of a student-athlete. Right now, all the pressure of marketing, recruiting, and understanding NCAA rules rests solely on our coaches. With the implementation of your program, we can now shift a great deal of that responsibility back to the parents where it belongs. Our coaches simply don’t have the time or energy to market every single kid who has a desire to play intercollegiate athletics."

Stu Eversole, President, Greater Miami Conference
