I was cut from Canada’s women’s hockey team. This is what I learned from that heartbreak

It’s just good all-around advice:

I’m an emotional person, but in a team environment, it’s important not to let those emotions affect the people around you. Taking three deep breaths has been really important when my emotions are running high or things aren’t going as I expected or planned.
Through journaling, I’ve found a new power in writing things down. There’s just something about getting a pen and paper and writing down your thoughts. Even when someone asks something so general like, how are you feeling, it’s easy to answer in your head, but to physically write your feelings down and reflect just offers a deeper meaning.
