The Philosophy of Upper Echelon
Although it may seem an overwhelming task, I feel any goalie who wishes for success must sincerely believe and strive to attain the creedo--Every shot is stoppable
Putting aside the obvious physical demands of meeting this goal, if a goalie believes in this creed, he will have an everlasting objective with his play. He will always be searching and striving to stop that one extra shot. And although no goalie will ever attain the goal of stopping everything (every game, all season long), the creed will keep him going forcing him to improve. As it has been said,"Excellence is not a destination, but a journey."
Now we live in a very competitive age with a lot of needless pressure, and as a result, I feel that this creed should be believed from within, not forced on the goalie from external influences like coaches, parents, teammates or media. As well and most importantly, failure to meet this objective is not a failure, but failure to believe that Every shot is stoppable is.
