Mental Toughness and Sports Psychology for Hockey

Are you intimidated with the competition before you take to the hockey rink? Do you focus on not making mistakes instead of playing your best hockey? Here's the sports psychology question Dr. Patrick Cohn answers in this video:
CHRIS ASKS: "I'm a ice hockey goalie and I keep recalling the times when I did not prepare well and I got benched. Ironically, I'm doing the same thing right now before I got benched before. I think the competition is too good, I can't beat them. When I go on the ice I can't play my best. I lose the game before it starts. I predict that I'm going to be out shot, or I'm going to blow it because my team is not outmatching the other team. How can I have more mental strength before games?"
Dr. Patrick Cohn is a Mental Game Coach to collegiate, junior, and professional athletes. He also works with sports parents and their athletes. #hockey #hockeymentaltoughness #hockeymindset

Thank you Dr. Cohn. I actually watched this before my game, and it really helped me relax. I did do Dr. Cohn's program that is from Peak Sports, and it changed my career. I was struggling the first half of the year last year, and after doing his program it made me more consistent and a whole new competitor with high confidence and great focus. This program is really great with a lot of information that is comprehendible and apply able. It's great. Just wanted to throw that out there (by the way I am off to one of my greatest starts thanks to Dr. Cohn) Thank you!

It's sorta funny, before games I make a mental highlight reel just out of memory and the music our team plays. It really does help!

Yes, my mother told me it when I was 10. You can recognize your self-confidence when your opponent overstep red line with the puck. If you´re looking forward to it with joyful competition, it´s great. And listen to some music what pull you up. Matt Murray or Braden Holtby play some instruments
