In this episode of Steve Tees Off, Steven Malkowich sits down with Shanlee Johnston to talk about athletic transition, elite performance, and how the habits built in high-level sport can carry into a completely different game.

Before building her path in golf, Shanlee competed at an elite level in field hockey, representing Team Canada. That experience shaped how she thinks about pressure, discipline, preparation, identity, and coaching. Now working in golf, she brings that same performance mindset into player development and instruction.

This conversation looks at what athletes take with them when they move from one sport to another, how competitive identity evolves over time, and why the mental side of performance matters just as much as the technical side. It is a strong episode for golfers, coaches, athletes, and anyone interested in the crossover between sport, mindset, and growth.

A great conversation on high performance, reinvention, and what it really takes to keep improving.
