  • Great for all Goalies

    All goalies at all age levels have to deal with the same kinds of pressures from coaches to playing time and other problems. This podcast shines light on these widely avoided uncomfortable topics that are “taboo” to most goalies. This is great for the goalies that are going through or have gone through these kinds of struggles.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Most Underrated Skill in Sports (And It’s Not What You Think)
Q: How can I tell my parents to give me space after a bad game?
Actions speak louder than words; explain you need to work through your emotions independently and demonstrate accountability, which is a sign you're taking ownership of your development.
The Confidence You Forgot You Built
Q: Why did you both create this podcast and what messaging do you wish listeners to gain?
To share a consistent, practical message about leveraging athletic strengths and mental habits, so athletes can navigate tough times, maintain confidence, and train a growth mindset for long-term success.
The Confidence You Forgot You Built
Q: Starting off, the first question reads, how do I help being scared of being in a different environment?
Focus on returning to the core strengths that got you there, accept that nerves come with bigger stages, and commit to the behaviors that built you up so you can prove yourself again in a new setting.
Nobody Owes You Playing Time
Q: What is the biggest piece of advice you could give someone aiming towards pro hockey someday?
Dream big but couple that with disciplined, specific goals and a plan to execute—discipline over short-term motivation will sustain you and help you reach those goals.
Nobody Owes You Playing Time
Q: What do you think is the biggest difference between your success and players who did not make it to the professional levels in hockey from college?
The biggest difference is practice habits; consistent, purposeful practice builds the confidence and skills needed to translate college success into a pro career, especially when lights are on and expectations are high.
