  • What Happens When You Stop Expecting Things to Go Right

    What Happens When You Stop Expecting Things to Go Right
    2026/02/10

    Welcome to another episode of the Dialed and Driven Hockey Mentality Podcast — brought to you by Vaughn Custom Sports!

    Today, hosts Jeff Lerg and Chris Palmer, joined by Natalie, dive into one of the most important (and unavoidable) realities of sport and life: learning how to manage chaos when things don’t go as planned.

    From youth hockey to the Olympics, this episode breaks down why setbacks, distractions, injuries, pressure, and unexpected changes aren’t signs that something is wrong — they’re simply part of the process. The difference between athletes who spiral and athletes who thrive is how they respond when the wheels come off.

    Through listener Q&A, real-life coaching examples, and powerful stories from elite performers like Sidney Crosby, Lindsey Vonn, AJ Edelman, and Olympic ice dancers Emilea Zingas and Vadym Kolesnik, this conversation shows how mentally strong athletes reset, adapt, and stay dialed in no matter what’s happening around them.

    Episode highlights:

    • Why practicing well but struggling in games is often a mental block, not a skill issue — and how shifting focus from outcomes to process unlocks performance
    • How fun, trust, and confidence directly impact execution under pressure
    • The mental traits coaches and scouts notice first, including hockey IQ, preparation, and the ability to reset after mistakes
    • What managing chaos actually looks like during a long season filled with injuries, setbacks, fatigue, and uncertainty
    • Why accepting that things will go wrong can actually make you calmer, more focused, and harder to break
    • The power of standards over circumstances — and why consistency beats perfection
    • Why pulling back at the right time isn’t quitting, but a key part of long-term success

    AND SO MUCH MORE!

    Whether you’re a youth athlete, parent, coach, or someone chasing big goals in any area of life, this episode is a reminder that chaos isn’t the enemy — resisting it is.

  • Why 70% of Athletes Quit—and How to Be the Exception

    Why 70% of Athletes Quit—and How to Be the Exception
    2026/02/04

    Welcome to episode 55 of the Dialed and Driven Hockey Mentality Podcast — brought to you by Vaughn Custom Sports!

    Today, hosts Jeff Lerg and Chris Palmer are joined by Natalie as they tackle one of the biggest challenges athletes face at every level: how to stay mentally strong when the grind gets heavy, burnout creeps in, and the big picture gets lost in the day-to-day chaos.

    This conversation highlights how pressure, comparison, fear of failure, and unrealistic expectations can strip the fun from sports—and how elite performers reset, refocus, and move forward.

    Episode highlights:

    • How asking the right questions separates developing athletes from attention-seekers.
    • What burnout actually looks like at different stages and why stepping back isn’t quitting.
    • The power of reconnecting to your “why”, explaining how remembering why you started—whether it’s love of the game, a goal to play at the next level, or personal standards—creates fuel to push through setbacks.
    • Why so many youth athletes quit by their early teens, exploring how pressure, fear of failure, coaching environments, and loss of fun drive athletes away from sports they once loved.
    • Standards over circumstances, highlighting how high personal standards—not rigid long-term visions—help athletes adapt, grow, and succeed as their path evolves.
    • Using big-picture thinking in real time, including practical ways athletes can apply vision and purpose during tough workouts, slumps, and high-pressure moments.
    • Why fun and performance are connected, breaking down how confidence, engagement, and execution feed each other—and how athletes can get back into that positive loop.

  • Suck It Up and Deal With It vs. Real Mental Strength

    Suck It Up and Deal With It vs. Real Mental Strength
    2026/01/27

    Welcome to Episode 54 — Suck It Up and Deal With It vs. Real Mental Strength … brought to you by Vaughn Custom Sports!

    Today, host Jeff Lerg and Chris Palmer discuss the main topic focused on managing future anxiety and comparison during the competitive season. Noting the struggle with players getting opportunities on other teams while others don't. It's emphasized that this time of year is particularly challenging because players hear about teammates and competitors securing positions for the following year, creating anxiety and distraction from current performance.

    Episode 54 highlights:

    - The importance of dominating the present moment, noting that despite being in the thick of the hockey season with playoffs approaching, many athletes have their minds focused on next year rather than peaking for current competitions.

    - How hard work doesn't immediately translate to opportunities, explaining that while long-term hard work leads to success, short-term results can be unpredictable and sometimes unfair.

    - The importance of acknowledging negative feelings rather than suppressing them, using Chris Palmer's concept of "puking things out" to release emotional burdens. Once these feelings are processed, athletes can focus on what they can control and identify remaining opportunities.

    - Being process oriented and what it means and while life presents unfair situations to everyone at different times, maintaining focus on controllable elements and personal process leads to exponential improvement over time.

    - That opportunities continue to arise throughout the season and that maintaining an "attack mode" mentality is crucial for being noticed by decision-makers.
