You’ll hear how he:

• Uses visualization and self-talk to build confidence.
• Stays loose and patient instead of tensing up on shots.
• Trains his hands, feet, and reaction time with specific goalie drills.
• Deals with bad days, tough games, and bouncing back stronger.
• Creates flow state and plays with freedom instead of overthinking.
