    • [ sports ] “Mental Game Lessons: Linus Ullmark”

      SHOW NOTES

      Saw a great story in the Athletic this week about the “save of the year” by the hockey goalie, Linus Ullmark. It IS a great save. :-) But it was his comments about it that really got my attention. Powerful illustration of why we tend to get mental game training wrong, and the approach we should take instead. Enjoy!

        SHOW NOTES

        Only 2% of junior athletes go on to play at a Division 1 school, and only 6% play in college at all. But you can be sure a lot more than that want to! This week I share some helpful thoughts on how to give a teen the best possible chance to stand out and get recruited. Enjoy!
