Hockey superstar Wayne Gretsky was always ready. He broke almost every record imaginable and is known to most as the greatest hockey player of all time. Gretsky is not particularly big for his sport. He stands at 5 feet 11 inches and weighs in at 1709 pounds. He never skated particularly fast, his shot was not high powered and he often placed dead last on regular tests administered to his team. So what made “The Great One” so great?
He was ready.
Gretsky attributes his stardom to practice and preparation. He practiced stick handling in the off season with a tennis ball as the ball was harder to control than a puck. In practice he innovated. He practiced bouncing the puck off the sideboards to his teammates until that technique became a regular part of his play. Then he worked on bouncing the puck off the net. He became so accomplished at these maneuvers that he sometimes said, “People say there’s only six men per team on the ice, but really, if you use the angle of the boards, there’s seven. If you count the net, that’s eight. From the opening face-off, I always figure we have ‘em eight on six.”
What made “The Great One” so great? Gretsky was always the best prepared member of his team. He was ready.
It’s been said, “If you want your ship to come in, you must build a dock.” When your chance comes, will you be ready?
The goal of this program is simply to provide the Emerging Professional with the best suited review sessions in preparation for taking the Architects Registration Exam.
