Palmer outlined a systematic approach: first, evaluate what's working and what isn't—success in practice, drill execution, ice time allocation, and overall performance satisfaction. He encouraged athletes to identify both strengths worth reinforcing and weaknesses requiring attention- Why removing external blame from self-assessment, particularly the tendency to focus on coaches or teammates rather than personal controllables is crucial. - A statistical self-assessment method, suggesting athletes review their last 10 games individually, tracking goals, assists, total points, and plus-minus ratings.
