The Goalie Therapist's Playbook - Dusty Imoo - Episode #262

Dusty Imoo, also known as "The Goalie Therapist," shares his journey from professional hockey goaltender to mental performance coach, offering insights on managing stress and finding balance in high-performance situations. Drawing from his 15-year career, most recently coaching with the Los Angeles Kings, Fort Wayne Comets, and Japanese national team, he provides practical wisdom for athletes looking to optimize their mental approach.

• Mental performance often separates good athletes from great ones once physical skills reach a certain level
• Simplifying your approach reduces anxiety rather than adding multiple techniques and routines
• Balance is crucial - you can maintain drive and ambition without sacrificing enjoyment
• The "mamba mentality" isn't the only path to success - sustainable passion comes from a good place
• Forcing children into sports rarely works - passion must come from within
• Parental support without pressure created Dusty's natural drive for excellence
• Later career years were his most enjoyable after shifting his mindset about performance
• Finding balance led to career longevity rather than burnout
