Hilary Knight Gives Game-Changing Pep Talk About Staying Positive: ‘Search for Small Victories”

Hilary Knight has had some big wins recently, but she appreciates the little ones too.

The women’s professional hockey league player has teamed up with elf Cosmetics and PEOPLE to encourage conversation about how she sets herself up for success. The first rule? Keep all the little things in mind.

“Life throws a lot of things at us, and the best advice I’ve ever been given is to look for the small wins,” she says as she begins her makeup routine. “So my first victory of the day is getting out of bed. The second one will be my preparation for the day, and I love Elf’s ‘Camo’ moisturizer, I absolutely love it.”

As the Olympian gently applies a color-correcting moisturizer to her entire face with a brush, she explains the impact of this positive mindset on her life. He says that he notices everything he does, even a small task, he feels more confident.

“When I collect all those little victories throughout the day, I build confidence,” she admits. “And sometimes it’s not your day, but it will prepare you for tomorrow.”

She adds, “Every day can’t be your day, but we can try.”

Next, the athlete, who plays for Boston’s PWHL team, adds some color to her face, placing a dot of the brand’s vibrant pink blush on each cheek and using that same brush to blend it out.

“My second favorite day prep product is elf’s liquid blush. Nothing like a good, pretty, tiny pop of color to help me attack the day and get that confidence boost,” she says.

The knight then announces that it is finished. By keeping her makeup simple, she accentuates her natural beauty, allowing her to feel ready for a new day.

“Let’s go chase those little victories together,” she says as the pep talk ends.
