In this episode of Hockey Headspace, we dive into a powerful and universal moment in sports – “the stare.” It’s the look of disbelief and reflection that takes over athletes’ faces in those moments of unexpected loss.

Join us as we discuss how “the stare” is often the catalyst for something greater – a moment that fuels resilience, sparks growth, and builds the mental toughness that can turn disappointment into redemption. With insights from the Amazon Prime Video Game Seven series, we examine how that thin line between victory and defeat is what defines champions. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or fan, this episode will remind you that even in the face of loss, there’s an opportunity to redefine yourself and come back stronger.

Tune in to learn how to harness “the stare” and make it the beginning of something truly extraordinary.

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into tackling one of the most challenging aspects every player faces—keeping composure under pressure. Dr. Dub explores how common attitudes and mindsets can throw even the best players off their game and shares actionable strategies to help you stay mentally tough in pressure situations.

In this episode of Hockey Headspace, we tackle a quality that’s becoming the ultimate differentiator in hockey: compete level. Coaches, scouts, and analysts everywhere are fixated on a player’s drive to compete, and today we’re diving into why this might just be the most critical part of your game.

Join Dr. Kevin Willis as he breaks down the four major reasons why compete level is a must-have trait: how it bridges skill gaps, becomes a primary focus in scouting, earns you respect, and, maybe most importantly, carries over into everyday life.

If you’re a player looking to step up, a coach wanting to push your team further, or a parent hoping to understand what really matters on the ice, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover why compete level isn’t just a part of the game—it’s everything.

So lace up, dig deep, and get ready to understand the heart of hockey. Don’t miss out on this deep dive into what it takes to truly stand out!
