In this episode, I sit down with pro goalie coach Justin Cardinal — who’s worked with NHL goalies like Adin Hill and Logan Thompson. We talk about the evolution of goaltending, mental preparation, and what it really takes to reach the top.

We dive into everything from mindset and breathwork to gear comfort, nutrition, and time management — and how social media and culture shape today’s athletes. Justin also shares stories from coaching Stanley Cup champions and the emotional rewards that come with helping goalies succeed.

It’s a great conversation with lessons that go far beyond goaltending — for any athlete who wants to keep improving both mentally and physically.
