If this saves one person, it was worth my time to post

When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then ?
A rarely good post that can't be shared often enough:

1.
Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.
2.
You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
3.
Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..
4.
Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5.
How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
6.
But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7.
Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment
8.
Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.

As tryouts begin so does the anxiety of making the team. Coaches will have 25-40 players on the ice in many cases and that means just more than a minute of "look" time that coach will have for your son/daughter assuming he/she gives every player equal eval time. In reality, coaches will focus most of their time on those players that stand out so to be fair it's more like 20 seconds of focus time on your player specifically unless they are already on the coaches radar. How can your player stand out above the crowd? Little things get attention. Start by having a face to face with the coach prior to the skate. Introduce yourself, thank him/her for taking the time to evaluate you and ask if there is anything specific he/or she is looking to see from players. Keep it brief but to the point. When you are on the ice, be first in the line if you can, first to the board and first to take a knee when the coach or instructor is talking. Be consistent with a high level of energy. Finish every drill like it is a race, coaches notice those who finish the whole drill as most others will cut out in the last 10-15 feet so going the distance will catch the coach's eye. Be respectful to all players and most of all! Stay focused on what you are being asked to do? If you have doubts on how to do something, ask for clarification or a visual demonstration . If you muddle through and don't do it right you can bet that will stand out in the wrong way. Most tryouts have a "pace" set by the group and most players will follow the tryout pace. Don't fall into the pace trap! It's a race to win that spot and if you have speed you have to use it all to get seen. Be the pace car not the traffic cop, speed is a big eye catcher! Give it all you have and Good Luck!!
