If You’re Going Through Hell - Bryce Salvador, The Players Tribune

As a former competitive, and currently less so, hockey player, I truly love when players publish through The Player Tribune. It gives ones self perspective, it shows us that these people are still humans, no matter what level we elevate them to. So to hear about Bryce and the injury and struggle he went through just to play again, let alone the incredible playoff performance he had that year, should give every person hope for the future no matter the endeavor. He also notes some really interesting software capabilities that have come about to lessen the strain on your eyes (as I write this at night... not utilizing any of what I’m talking about). I will be checking out some of his advice in the very near future.

Ooookay Bryce...
