In this episode of the Barely your podcast, we find out, Can I help us better Beer Leaguer? So what I did is I went over to chat, which is the I think most well used a AI system out there on the internet right now if you don't know chat GPT. What it is is it's just a chat bot that you go to and it's free. There's a paid version that's supposed to be a little bit better and I think can do graphics and stuff like that. But it's all text based. It's if you used AOL Messenger back in the day, it's very similar to those chat bots, but a lot smarter. So you just go in there, you can ask questions and it combs the Internet, trying to figure out good answers for the stuff that you have asked it. So I went through on there and started asking it a bunch of questions about Bierley hockey and let's see what it says. Let's see how good it actually is. I will also say I will have a full transcript of all these questions on in the show notes to check out, because I'm not going to read every single thing that it has here. I'll just kind of give an overview of how it answered stuff. But if you want to see the full transcript that will be in show notes. So. So first question I asked is what is barely hockey? And this is the first answer it gave right away was purely hockey refers to recreational ice hockey leagues. They're typically organized for adults of varying skill levels. Play the sport for fun and camaraderie. The term beer league is often used because participants in these leagues usually play in a relaxed social environment and the emphasis is more on enjoyment than on intense competition. And it's got key characteristics of really hockey include recreational focus, diverse skill levels, social atmosphere, less emphasis on winning, varied age groups and no checking rules. And overall, barely, Hockey provides adults with an opportunity to continue enjoying the sport in a friendly and less competitive setting, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie both on and off the ice. You'll see a theme throughout a lot of these answers that has to do with a sense of community and camaraderie. That's something that kind of seems to go out through a lot of these. But overall, I think that's a good, very generic view of barely hockey, I think. I think all that stuff is right on. It is it is rarely. It is lots of skill levels, very social. It is the less emphasis on winning. I agree with compared to, you know, like a, you know, high school hockey or college or something like that or profession or semi-pro or something like that, obviously. I think that's where that comes from. But I think everything else is right on right on the money with it. So. Good job, JAG. You know what really hockey is. So obviously, the next question asked is how do I get better? Purely hockey. Improving your skills. A barely hockey can be a rewarding experience, even if you're playing in a recreational and social environment. Here are some tips to get you better at. Really. Hockey. These are some crazy ones. So get ready. Practice regularly. Yes. Work on skating technique. Improve stick handling skills, enhance shooting accuracy, participate in skill development clinics, watch and learn, join, pick up games. Stay fit and conditioned. Learn game strategy. And the last one is have fun and be patient and it ends with by combining regular practice, skill development, skill development and a positive mindset, you can enhance your abilities and enjoy a more fulfilling experience in building hockey. Again, I think that's actually pretty, pretty good right on answer here. So yes, if you practice, you will get better, but it's barely. Who practices? Not really. Anybody practices that much work on skating technique. Yes. Great. If you're a better skater, it helps. Same thing with stick handling skills, shooting accuracy. All great if you can do those things. A lot of people don't, though. But yes, that. Well, we'll get you better participate in skill development clinics. I think that's something that's probably not thought of as much. There's clinics out there. You know, there's clinics for adults out there for things. There's learn to play classes. A lot of places have just regular clinics, you know, like one off things. If they're not regular to try and get better, obviously depends on your level. If you're someone that's coming from playing pretty high level hockey, these are probably not for you. But if you're a beginner or someone that a lower level probably great, but that's a good thing. Also, I know there's a lot of like traveling clinics that are aimed at kids that take adults in the like older kid group. They usually don't advertise it. Usually they'll advertise, you know, like a lot of power skating clinics will do this or they'll advertise, you know, over a weekend, they'll be in whatever city and they'll say, like, you know, Saturday morning session is, I don't know, eight you. And then the afternoon session is 12. You and then like they'll be around on Sunday. And that morning session is, you know, 16 you and then they'll usually say like that last session is like 18 you or something like that or 16 plus And they're, you know, geared towards kids. But I do know adults that have gone to those things and it benefits them. So that is a good one to do. Clinics watch and learn. Yes, definitely watch, learn, join, pick up games. That I think is the best way to get better is by playing because you get better hockey by playing hockey, stay fit and conditioned, which as we know, barely hockey players are the finest of adult athletes, always learn game strategy and then have fun and be patient. So sure again, I think that's good answers. I think that's good stuff. Some pretty obvious things in there, just how to get better hockey and then some stuff that I think is, I think more relevant for better league. I think it's good. So that being said, one of the things that it did say there was learning game strategy. So I then asked how can I learn hockey game strategy? You might also notice in how I words some of these questions I word them very specifically. If you're going to try using something like GPT or OSI, if you're to use something like Google or any kind of search engine or something, be as specific as possible with your what you're asking and usually get the best results. So what little bit league or bonus tip for you there on using search engines, but how can I learn hockey Game Strategy Learning Hockey game strategy involves understanding various aspects of the game, including offense and defensive tactics, positioning and team coordination. Here are steps to take to learn hockey game strategy. So we have noticed a lot of these answers that Chat GB gives you, that gives you a little summary and then it kind of goes through and gives you a listing of all the things that it's gone out and found that it thinks relates to what you asked this one to actually think is really good, because I think this is a big thing for Bear Leaguers is learning a strategy and I don't like to say strategy, but just kind of learning how to play hockey or learning the game of hockey because a lot of clinics don't teach you that. They don't teach you access knows they teach you skills, they're skills clinics. And a lot of the beginner schools, again, just kind of teach you skills, you know, how to skate without falling down, how to shoot, but they don't teach you hockey because they figure you probably watch hockey. That's why you're doing this. So you know some of this stuff. But also watching hockey to enjoy it and watching hockey to learn are very different things, very, very different things to do. So I think this is actually super relevant and they actually give I think, some good advice here. First one is watch professional games. And I think that's a that's a great thing to do. You know, pick somebody that plays the position you play or that you want to play or somebody that you really like what they do and just try and follow them the whole game. It's a lot easier, I think, to do that when you're at a game versus on TV is on TV. If they're kind of out of the picture, you can't see what they're doing or is at the game. You can really focus on, you know, if you're like watching a defenseman and it's in the offensive zone a lot, have a defenseman staying up at the blue line and if the plays down at the net they might be out of the camera shot. But if you're at the game you can watch them and see do they kind of pinch n Do they stay back or they go into the middle, stay on the side where they doing? But I think that is an excellent, excellent thing to do. Watch professional games, analyze game footage, and in this it doesn't really specify if it's your games or if it's professional games or anything. So I think they're kind of the same thing doing that. But going back and watching games next one read books and articles. I'm a big fan of reading hockey books and learning whatever you can from them because a lot of ideas and stuff that that they talk about are kind of more complex than something you can just real quickly, you know, figure out in a game yourself or pick up in a quick, you know, like YouTube video or something like that. There are books out there that are very complex and have, you know, how to execute, you know, really high level team strategies for things. And I don't I don't think those things apply to barely hockey because you're not getting everybody on board with you know let's let's play a four plus one on you know on the power play or let's you know, play a 1 to 2 defensive strategy or something like that. That's people are going to get that. But what they sometimes do in a lot of these books do, if they're not just like like drills like that or very specific strategies, they give you a more overall idea. And I think that's really helpful to learn some of those more overall ideas to help you better understand, you know, what all the positions are supposed to do, what everybody is supposed to do in different situations, which I think helps watching games and learning from games because you know a little bit more of what you're looking for. So I totally agree with that. Love hockey books. I think that's great. Attend coaching clinics. Yep. If you go to coaching clients, you probably will learn some more things, but that's a good one. Even if you're not going to coach play video games. I don't know how this gets overlooked a lot. So many people I know though, learn the positions and learn a whole bunch about hockey from playing, you know, the video games growing up that that's how you learn stuff. A lot of the games too they have like tutorials for when you start and it teaches you how to play the game. And while it's doing that, it's teaching you hockey strategy. I mean, the only one that's really out there now, that's the big game is the NHL series and they have the be a player aspect in there where you create a player and you kind of take them through their career and they actually grade you on your career or how it was, how you're playing properly. So like if you're a defenseman and you know you're supposed to be staying back and playing defense, but you keep, you know, join the rush or keep leading the rush, you're going get penalized for it. Whereas same thing is, if you know you're a center and you're supposed to be carrying the puck out of the zone, you know, distributing and stuff, but you're not, you're just staying back the whole time they're going to say something. So playing video games is a great way to learn more about positions, learn the game better. It's an awesome tool, awesome, awesome tool to do, especially for big league players that, you know, maybe didn't grow up playing and maybe don't know all the things and maybe don't want to ask don't want to ask people what their positions are, what should they be doing on offense, on defense, on special teams and stuff like that. You can learn that playing the video games. So I think that's a great thing to do. Another one, join a league or a team. Yeah, you'll get better if you join your team, if that means your playing, same thing. Next one is participating team practices. Hey, if you're really team and you have team practices, good for you. I, I don't think that's a super realistic ask questions. Yeah. I've learned anything that's a generic anything. Focus on positioning. I think that's a really good one too. The little under things it has a focus on positioning is understand the importance of proper positioning on the ice. Offense and defensive strategies often revolve around players being in the right place at the right time. Yes, and it involves around you counting on your teammates being in the right place at the right time, or at least knowing where they're going to be maybe is not the right place, but knowing where they're going to be and also learn about for checking back, checking a neutral zone play to enhance your positional awareness. Yes, 100%. 100%. Especially low level beer league positioning. If you have good positioning, it makes all the difference in the world. If you watch higher level beer league, you'll see those guys know what they're doing. They know where to be in the right spot. You know, they know if they chip the puck, you know, chips, puck up to somebody, they're going to be there to get it. There's not guessing if they're, you know, making passes around the boards. They know someone's going to pick it up. Things like that. You don't have the entire team, you know, for checking to go behind the the goal there to try and get the puck away or anything like that that Yeah. So focus on positioning. I think that's a general thing for learning the game. You should be focusing on positioning laughs and has is watch tutorials and diagrams. Yeah I mean I guess these those that's similar to the other ones on there. I think so that's pretty similar. That one I don't think is as great of an answer as some of the other ones, but it does have some good ideas in there for it. So again, tragedy. Nice job, Nice job. So the next thing I asked then is what should I watch for in professional games to learn hockey strategy? And this I thought, was really good. It I mean, it kind of breaks down everything that they do in a game, but I think it's a really good kind of breakdown of all the different aspects of hockey just in general, not really to do with really, but just in hockey in general. It's got offensive zone entries for checking it, backtracking, power play, execution, penalty kill strategies, defensive zone strategies, neutral zone play line changes, player roles and assignments, transition play coaching decisions which sure, that doesn't really apply to beer league. I assume most teams don't have a coach, special team strategies, player communication. So I thought that was really interesting is it says watch for on ice Communication among players. Effective communication is crucial for coordinated plays and defensive coverage. I think that's a very underrated aspect there. If you go to live hockey games, you do hear the players talking all the time and if you go to Bierley games, you probably hear people talking. But it probably has nothing to do with the actual game going on. It's probably them, you know, just chatting about something or talking crap to somebody else or something like that. But that's a big one. In-game adjustments and then goalie play. I will say none of these really mentioned goalie. I think if you want to have any of this stuff be relevant to goalie, probably have to specify goalie just because goalie things as always are very different than skater things. And it ends that with saying by actively watching and analyzing these aspects during professional hockey games, you can develop a deeper understanding of strategic elements in the sport. Additionally, listening to commentary and analysis by experts can provide valuable insights into the decision making processes of teams and players. Yes, by watching hockey and listening to play by player color guys or I, I think more so than even that listening and watching the, you know, between periods hosts when they break down plays that can be super helpful to to do all these things. So again, I think, Chad, you did good job on that. That makes sense. Nothing crazy. Nothing, you know, mind blowing there. But that kind of breaks down all the things that happen in hockey, all the overall things that happen. So it's sounds good. All right. Then the next question is, what is the most important part of big league hockey? The most important part of really hockey is the emphasis on fun, camaraderie and the enjoyment of the game. Unlike more competitive and intense levels of hockey, really, hockey is centered around creating a positive and social experience for adult players. So yeah, it really, really takes the noncompetitive aspect here of really hockey. It talks about recreational atmosphere, inclusive community, social gatherings, low pressure environment, that sportsmanship opportunity for all skill levels, no checking or limited checking, flexibility and accessibility and celebration of individual achievements. And I thought that was an interesting one. And it says for that is individual achievements, whether it's scoring a goal or making a great play or celebrating a beer like hockey, the positive reinforcement of individual efforts adds to the enjoyment of the game. So, yeah, I mean, you know, I guess I find it interesting that it thinks the most boring part of really hockey has really nothing to do with hockey itself. So I'm not sure how much I agree with all that, but you know, I can't say it's not true at all. So then I started getting some more specific, trying to get kind of listings of very specific questions from it, try to go a little bit more back into actual hockey stuff and less of the camaraderie aspect. And I asked, how should I work on my skating technique? Hoping that Chat GB would give me the key to unlock unbelievable speed and agility out there. So it's improving. Your skating technique is a crucial for becoming a better hockey player. Here are some tips to help you work on your skating technique. Basic Stance Practice forward skating. It does give a little bit of stuff for like practice for skating and says work on your stride. But pushing off with the balls of your feet. Extend your leg fuller with each stride and bring it back on your body for efficient forward motion and focus on a smooth, controlled glide. Yes. Yeah. Okay. So, you know, crossovers, backwards skating edges, control, balance exercises, agility drills, stride length and frequency. Again, it says skating backwards because apparently backwards skating and skating backwards are different things. Use your arms, ankle flexibility, take skating lessons, skate regularly, film yourself, and set record yourself ice skating to analyze your technique, Review the footage to identify areas for improvement and track your progress over time. I mean, that's true. I wouldn't have thought that for a thing, for how I can work on my skating technique, but it is a very true thing to do. Film yourself. I see how much slower everything actually is from how you think it is, because that's what happens whenever you watch yourself, is you're just shocked by how slow everything is. Our last thing is be patient and persistent. So, you know, I sound as much of a step by step how to get better at skating. Just kind of a here's a bunch of things about skating and you should get better at those things. But hey, you know, all right, nothing wrong with that egregious here. You know, it's not pulling up completely wrong in Photoshop to put together. Let's see. Okay. Next question. What can I do to improve my stick handling skills? And it's improving your stick handling skills essential for becoming a more effective hockey player. Here are some tips to enhance your stick handling ability. Regular practice. Use the right stick. that was an interesting one to have in there. And it has experiment different curves and grips to find what feels most comfortable for your stick handling technique. I thought that was an interesting one to have in there. Stick handling gloves that that's kind of an oddball one. But what it just means is says investing allows to provide good feel and grip on the stick. That's just a weird way of doing that. I've never I think I've ever heard the term stick handling gloves, but okay, you know, I guess have gloves that you can actually feel kind of what you're doing now if you have gloves are way too big or some gloves just don't fit right for things. All right. Next thing we have on here is low stance. Head up, soft hands here. This all the time. That's like the mantra for stick handling. Coach Low, low stance, heads up, soft hands, stick handling drills, progressive complexity, then practice with a golf ball that is everybody's I think go to is practice with a golf ball for stick handling so it's it's a good poll fair off ice stick handling use a stick handling aid combine stick handling with skating then mirror training, use a full length mirror to observe and refine your stick handling technique. Pay attention to your hand positioning, body posture and overall form. That's actually a really good it's a really good tip to have, you know, make make sure you kind of see yourself there Quick hand exercise game like situations, watch and learn, competitive drills, stay relaxed and fluid, train both sides and does say on here is that means train your backhand and your forehand and then seek feedback. So a little bit, I think that's a little bit better than the skating. One little bit more specific things. I think there's some actually really good ideas in there. I mean, the golf ball thing, everybody knows, but it's a great thing to use, use a golf ball for stick handling, you know, and training, forehand, training, backhand and the mere stuff. I think that's actually some pretty good tips on here. So GGP apparently is much better with stick handling than it is with skating. Then I asked it, How can I enhance my hockey shooting accuracy? And this seems to be the running way of how it says these things as proving your hockey shooting accuracy is essential for increasing your goal scoring effectiveness. Here are some tips. Focus on fundamentals, target practice, stationary shooting, quick release, improve rest flexibility, and that's risk flexibility. Also wrist strengthening exercises. So it's just kind of working on your wrists. Use targets of markers, shot selection. And that's that's an interesting one to have in there. Its focus on choosing the right shot for the situation. Different situations may call for wrist shots, snapshots or slap shots, practice various types of shots to become versatile in different game scenarios. Okay, Visualization or practice with a purpose is about super generic things to have on there. One timers shooting from different angles combine skating with shooting, target repetition off ice training, stressful situations. Thought that that's pretty interesting and I don't really know how you can you can do that as much just as out here create pressure situations during practice such as time constraints or competing against teammates. I guess those kind of work for stressful situations. But I think if, you know, if you have somebody that you're, you know, skating with or somebody that you can have kind of, you know, coming at you and you're trying to shoot, that would actually be really good. I think that would be a good shooting drill. Then recording, analyze, seek feedback, practice the purpose which it has on here twice for some reason, balance and weight transfer and train, both forehand and backhand, which little surprised that it has that as a as a good idea there. So since it is saying here's all the different stuff I can do for shooting better, as I said, you know, write a hockey shooting practice routine for me. So it actually went through and wrote a routine that I can use for for practicing shooting. It's got a ten minute warmup, which is just like stretching stationary shooting drills, using the right shot snapshot and one timers for 15 minutes, then dynamic shooting drills for 20 minutes, which is skating with a quick release cone dribbling and shooting, quick change of direction in shooting. Then 50 minutes of game like situational shooting, which is breakaway drills and rebound practice, then specialized shooting drills for 50 minutes, which is deflection drills and backhand shooting, and then a ten minute cooldown and reflection. That's actually a pretty good, I think, routine. I mean, I think that that's actually something you could do if you went to like Stick and Puck that would give you some idea of some stuff to do if you needed some ideas. You know, if you need something to do, like you have some time and you want to work on shooting, you could go through this and maybe not pick up everything, but pick up some stuff to do that. That's pretty nice. Has additional tips here of incorporate competitive elements rotate through different shooting techniques and focus on maintaining a positive mindset and celebrating small victories during the practice session. So Chat gb t really want you to, you know, have that positive mindset and celebrate camaraderie and all that kind of stuff. So apparently it's very much into that. I like that. Those are really good actual routine. So I asked it to write me a hockey practice routine for that I can do by myself. And that answer with certainly here's a solo practice routine they can do to work on various aspects of your game. And again, it's got a warm up. It's got 50 minutes of skating drills, 20 minutes of stick handling drills, 15 minutes of shooting drills, and then conditioning drills. That was thing I was not expecting that is I expecting it to end with conditioning drills, which is sprints, interval training and endurance skating that are called out in reflection at the end. Like, All right, that's pretty good though. That's pretty good routine. So I asked it to write me a hockey practice routine that I can do by myself at home without ice, trying to make this harder and harder to come up with something here that that makes sense. And what it has for me is, you know, is a five minute warm up because I guess when you're at home, you only need 5 minutes to warm up as opposed to ten. Right. Maybe because you're not skating and then it has a 50 minutes of stick handling drills, which includes puck control, dribbling, figure eight dribbling and office speaking 15 minutes of shooting drills, which is target shooting, shot technique drills, hand-eye coordination, which is use a small ball and a hockey stick to work on hand-eye coordination, toss the ball in the air and try to bad at it with the stick. I mean, that's. Yeah. Okay. All right, then. 15 minutes of strength and conditioning, which is bodyweight exercises, core strength and agility drills, and then 10 minutes of cardiovascular conditioning, which is doing some hit training and some shadow skating, which is simulate skating motions without ice by incorporating forward and backward strides and lateral movements and quick direction changes know that actually is a pretty pretty good just general hockey practice your team at four at home without ice is actually pretty good. And then it's a cool down and stretching at the end with no reflection because when you're at home you don't have to reflect. I guess it does give some tips like using a stick handling ball weighted puck or a green biscuit. I thought it was funny that has green biscuit in there because apparently so many people talk about green biscuits on the internet. It just knows that that's the thing to use for practicing all that. Well, that one was actually really good, so did pretty good with drills. I think that's something that chat CBT does a nice job of is kind of going collecting out there all these different drills and ideas that people have put out there, you know, on the interwebs for all this kind of stuff. And it, you know, kind of conglomerates it all together and puts it into something useful like this. I think that's really where it shines really well for things. So I want to get to some a little bit more kind of out there, questions to see what it would say. So I asked it, What's the most important hockey equipment to spend money on? And here's the list. The stuff that it said was important to spend money on is skates, helmet, protective cage or shield. So for all you people that play barely without a cage or a shield, Chad GBG thinks you're wrong. It's apparently the third most important thing you should be spending your money on. Then gloves and shoulder pads. Elbow pads. And I just started going through all the hockey stuff. The last thing it has on here is a bag. So it does mention that your bag should have ventilation. But that was kind of funny when I asked it. What's what is one thing I can do to be a better hockey player and one key thing you can do to become a better hockey player is to focus on continuous improvements. Your deliberate practice. Deliberate practice involves purposeful and focused training with the specific goal of enhancing your skills and addressing weaknesses. Yeah, it's not at all what I was looking for, that one thing I can do and it lists me on here 12 different things I can do that. I don't, I don't I don't think helps me really in any way. I tried to reformat. The question is what is the single most important thing for barely a hockey player to know? And the thing the most important thing for a barely a hockey player to know is to prioritize sportsmanship, respect, enjoyment of the game while improving skills and winning games are part of the experience. Fostering a positive and respectful environment enhances the overall barely hockey experience for everyone involved. And then it says, Here's why Sportsmanship is crucial. Again, exactly what I was looking for. But as I said earlier, that's kind of the whole theme in here, is it really, really takes barely to being very noncompetitive, very non competitive. So that's it colors a lot of the answers as it goes through here. So so try to get a little bit more of what I was trying to get at for these answers. And I asked for a detailed step by step for a league hockey player to learn to skate faster. And this is actually pretty good when you get to that that specific question, it tells you need a proper skating stance, strong push offs, quick recovery, full extension. But then it gets into crossover technique, which I guess helps you skate faster because if you can do crossovers that can help out edge control, arm movement, core strength, and then agility drills, sprint intervals off ice training, Hill training, cardiovascular. I mean, it starts just, you know, I've got mental focus on here and stuff. It starts going off the rails with ideas. So I asked for detailed steps for a burly hockey player to learn to shoot more accurately proper grip, body position, weight transfer, flexibility exercises, puck placement, hand-eye coordination, target practice, and then it starts to get it off and getting off the rails a little bit more like visualization. And then let's talk about shooting from different angles. She's the right stick, but it gives you a lot of stuff to do on there. But good tips. I think it does have some good ideas. So if you if you really don't know or you really want something else to try. Yeah. If you're if you're just in your backyard or something in your basement just shooting, you want have some other ideas. I mean, maybe you didn't think to try different angles. I don't know. Maybe you, you know, didn't think to try different shots or chord yourself or things like that. So, no, not, not too bad. Then I asked her, what's the single most important skill for a big league hockey player to improve for the greatest increase in their overall game? And this is, I think, the best answer that it's giving in this whole thing. The single most important skill for Bierley hockey player to improve for the greatest increase in their overall game is skating ability. Skating is a fundamental skill that significantly influences various aspects of a player's performance on the ice, and it goes on the list why skating is so important. And that is right there. I think the best answer out of all these things that it's given because that's it could said anything. I honestly thought when I asked it it was going to say something about dedication or, you know, continuously wanting to improve herself or something like that. But nope, it said skating. It said you got to get better at skating, which. Yeah, Yep. And I love that the last thing that it has for reasons why skating is so important, quick recovery from mistakes. Improve skating enables players to recover quickly from mistakes or positioning errors. The ability to get back into the play rapidly is essential for overall game effectiveness. Yeah, so I don't know. I thought Jackie Beatty did a pretty cool job. I think this is some yeah, I think it's a good way to come up with some different ideas for things. I've seen people use it to try and try and tell them certain drills to do for things like what is a drill I can do to get better at X. And it usually doesn't give you a very straightforward answer, but it gives you a pretty good overview of things because of how it gets its information. It's just going around and calling this information from all over the internet is just crawling anything. It says something about hockey and trying to condense it down into something where they give you kind of more broader questions for things. I think it actually does a pretty good job. I was impressed by the training technique ideas. I think those were really good. I think they added in some good stuff in there that people don't think about a lot, stuff that people probably don't do, stuff I don't think about for, you know, trying to get better at shooting and skating and stuff like that. It it does real nice for that. As like I said, if you want to check out like the entire transcript of this conversation they had with Jagmeet and see it's kind of more bullet points ideas under the kind of those broad subjects. I have a link in the show notes all about that. I think it's a cool tool. I think you're probably going to be seeing things like this integrated into a lot of hockey stuff in the near future. Just because so much of the the content is very similar out there, that this is an easy way to kind of condense all that without saying the same thing over and over and over again. You know, I mean, there's only so many things you can do for shooting, you know, like get better at shooting. There's tons of you can come up with and tons of things you can do very specifically. But as an overall kind of outline for how you get better, that doesn't really change a whole lot. Usually it can change, you know, for specific people, but not when you're being generic for how do you how does everybody get better at shooting? So I think I think you're going to see a lot of this kind of stuff coming out for things like you see a lot of the stuff going to coaches and in books and articles and stuff like that. That was kind of interesting thing to see. See what it says for hockey, That seems to know hockey pretty easily. So, you know, so I thought I thought that was kind of cool of you guys found that interesting as if you have any questions like me to go through and kind of ask Jackie Beatty. You're like a rebel. You'd like me to go down. Chad Beatty For things. Let me know. I'll gladly do another one of these, maybe with some more very specific questions about league hockey or maybe just about hockey in general, and see what kind of info it has and see what it comes up with. But hopefully you guys enjoyed that. If you did, please subscribe on your podcast host of your choosing and if you can leave a review somewhere, those always help and I really appreciate that. But ah yeah. Hope you guys enjoyed all this and I hope you got something out of it. I hope you learned something. Hope a camp or something cool, or hopefully if you haven't used Chad to give it a try, or if you didn't think you could do anything to help you out with your hockey stuff, maybe now you see that it can have some pretty good ideas. All right. Thanks, everyone. See you in the next one.
