When I sat down with Strauss Mann, Olympic hockey goalie, professional athlete, and three-time Academic All-American — I knew this conversation was going to hit deep. And it did.

Strauss takes us inside the mental and emotional world of one of the most high-pressure positions in sports: standing in goal with pucks — and the weight of expectation — flying at you. He opens up about the journey from chasing external validation to cultivating an unshakable inner foundation rooted in mindfulness, discipline, and surrender.

We explore how he’s redefining what it means to win — in hockey and in life — by integrating bodywork, holistic wellness, and conscious leadership into his daily practice. Strauss’s story isn’t just about sports; it’s about resilience, personal growth, and the courage to live differently in a culture built on toughness and perfection.

This episode is a masterclass in mental toughness, self-awareness, and trusting the process — even when you can’t see the outcome.

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔ The mindset shift that took Strauss from self-doubt to Olympic-level confidence

✔ How to thrive in high-pressure environments without losing yourself

✔ Why surrendering control can be your greatest advantage in sports, business, and life

✔ The role mindfulness and bodywork play in peak performance

✔ How to lead with vulnerability and inspire trust in competitive cultures

✔ The daily practices that keep an elite athlete grounded, focused, and in flow

If you’ve ever faced uncertainty, pushed for a big dream, or struggled with letting go of control, this conversation will give you tools, hope, and a fresh perspective to help you move forward.
