Dear Peter, A Winning Habit for Our Oilers in 2016-2017 = READING!

Book I recommend to all Oilers this summer. "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg I think everyone in this forum and Oilers in general would agree with me that losing has become a habit.

So we can bring in new Owner, GM, Coach, McDavid, other Rookies with Winning Attitude yet without changing the underlying habit the bad habit will spread. Even the habits lead to injuries...weak habits break down the mind, break down the spirit and eventually break down the body. These guys are under incredible stress from travel, reporters, their families, fans. Under the spotlight bad habits go from cobwebs to cables.

Who on the oilers is under achieving? Just look at their previous year stats--Yak, and compare them to today. They are moving to their prime years so there is no excuse. The bad habit of losing is wrecking their minds and bodies.

How Habits Work: Trigger, Routine, Reward.

Oilers read the book and understand the habits. Change your words and change your world. Change your habits (losing) into winning. It starts with every single player. It starts with every fan. The winning habit that creates a Virtuous Circle. Not a Vicious one. After 10 years of no playoffs I believe more than ever that the difference is a slight shift of habits---not trading away players. If you are not growing you are dying and some players are not growing.

Simple small incremental shifts will lead to huge gains. Just try a small shift with hitting a golf ball...and you will see the huge difference in results.

Power of Habit Book is waiting for you! Lets Go BOYS!

Winning is a HABIT! So easy to change if you understand how habits work
