  • Winning the Inner Game Episode 4: Featuring Matt Marquardt

    Matt Marquardt had a rocky transition from minor midget to junior hockey, but the lessons he learned in these years helped him go from not being selected in the OHL draft, to being drafted to the NHL, putting up back to back 40 goal seasons in the QMHL, and going on to his successful 12 year pro career - which is still ongoing!

    In this podcast, Matt shares his story and sheds light on many important mental skills that every player needs to make the jump from minor to junior hockey, and from junior to pro hockey! We dive into the importance of off-ice training, patiently preparing for your opportunities, treating practices like games, and understanding how junior and pro hockey is a business.

    Leadership has also been a big part of Matt's career. He learned important lessons from his coach Ted Nolan. Matt's won championships, been a team captain on numerous teams, and a player-coach all at the pro level! He shares his insights on creating a winning team culture, getting players to think the same way, and fostering confidence as a team.

    Michael Kostka was cut from his AAA team and was not drafted to the OHL nor NHL, but he persevered and he finally cracked the NHL at 27 years old. His story is filled with great mental game lessons - such as how to:
    • Own Your Story
    • Play with Confidence
    • Deal with the Grind of Professional Sports
    Adversity is a part of life - we can't avoid it - but we don't have to face it alone. Leaning on others who have been there before is a powerful way to find the inner strength to persevere. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did making it. Please share this episode if you know anyone who may be able to benefit from its message.
