In these ‘Moment’ episodes, we highlight some of the most powerful insights from past conversations on Beyond High Performance.

METAPERFORMANCE SHOW | In this Moment of Meta Performance from the Beyond High Performance podcast, two-time Stanley Cup champion Luke Schenn pulls back the curtain on the mindset that has fueled his longevity in one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports on the planet.

At the NHL level, physical talent only takes you so far. As Luke shares candidly, the real differentiator is mental resilience—what he calls “mental rebound control.” It’s not about never making mistakes. It’s about how fast you bounce back from them.

In this high-stakes conversation, Luke opens up about the toll of performance slumps, how a single bad shift can spiral into weeks of subpar play, and the mental tools he’s developed to stay level-headed, consistent, and competitive.

This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about building the capacity to reset, refocus, and return stronger—whether you’re lacing up skates or leading a boardroom.

You’ll discover:

• Why elite performance is 90% mental (especially when everyone’s physically elite)
• How negative spirals derail careers—and how to break the cycle
• The connection between rebound control in hockey and in life
• How to use self-talk, preparation rituals, and short memory to stay sharp
• Why great coaches don’t just fix problems—they help you recover faster

Whether you’re leading a team or facing your own high-pressure moments, this conversation challenges you to rethink how you measure strength—and to build a mindset that holds up under pressure.

🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: Do you have the mental habits to perform at your best—even when the pressure’s on?
