The Resolution Trap: Why ‘All-or-Nothing’ is the Enemy of Consistency
The "New Year, New Me" energy is a powerful motivator, but it often comes with a hidden trap: the all-or-nothing mindset. Many of us start January with rigid fitness resolutions, believing that if we can't commit to a full hour at the gym or a high-intensity session, it’s not worth doing at all. However, groundbreaking research reveals that this psychological rigidity is exactly why most resolutions fail by February. To make 2026 the year your fitness goals actually stick, you need to swap "perfection" for "flexibility." From embracing micro-workouts to finding accountability in local community sports groups, learn how to reframe your thinking and stay active for the long haul—even when life gets in the way.

Thinking of hockey coaches, socials & clubs?
Hockey, encompassing field hockey and ice hockey, is a dynamic and fast-paced team sport enjoyed by millions globally. Socially, hockey offers a great way to stay active, build team camaraderie, and enjoy a friendly, competitive environment without the pressures of a formal league or tournament.
Whether it’s a casual street hockey game, a friendly indoor match, or a recreational ice hockey pickup game, the social aspect of hockey is highly valued. Players often organize games where the focus is on fun, exercise, and skill-building, rather than strict adherence to professional rules.
