Bad call? Good.

Tough weekend? Good.

Didn’t get the bounce, the shift, or the outcome? Good.

In this episode of the Built From Steel Podcast, Eric and Andy take a hard look at adversity and why how you respond matters more than what actually happens. Starting by recounting the officiating at a recent tournament, they dive into the mindset made popular by Jocko Willink’s “Good” philosophy, and how it applies to hockey and life.

They also explore the parable of the Chinese Farmer, and how players, parents, and coaches can use perspective to build real toughness, not just fake positivity. This one is about rewiring your brain to lean into struggle, reframe frustration, and keep showing up.

Whether you’re a player who didn’t get the shift, a parent watching your kid go through it, or a coach trying to model calm under fire,  this is the episode for you.
