What if you could peek behind the mask of a professional hockey goalie and dive into the mental challenges and toughness required to play the sport and position? Justin Goldman’s experiences range from playing as an e-bug for the Colorado Avalanche to creating an inspiring online community for goalies - the Goalie Guild. 

Serving more than just a peek into his fascinating journey, Justin shares his wisdom and knowledge through establishing the Goalie Guild's unique digital platform. We uncover how he leveraged online tools to make the site transparent and user-friendly. We also dive into the concept of autonomous support coaching, an approach that encourages athletes to problem solve, fostering resilience and independence. 

But the conversation doesn’t stop at the rink as we shift gears to examine the impact of technology on youth and parenting, emphasizing the importance of children's independence and presence. We also shed light on the crucial issue of mental health in sports, discussing 'Lift the Mask,' a program Justin created to offer support to goaltenders struggling with mental health. This episode is a must-listen for not just hockey enthusiasts, but anyone interested in sports psychology and the power of community. Tune in for an enriching and insightful conversation with Justin Goldman.
