In this episode of Wisdom & Gains, we’re joined by professional hockey player Kashawn Aitcheson for a powerful conversation on discipline, mindset, and what it really takes to stay at the top — both physically and mentally.

Kashawn opens up about his journey to the NHL, the challenges of navigating elite athletics as a young Black man, and how training his mind has become just as important as training his body. From off-season routines to recovery, nutrition to navigating pressure, Kashawn shares the tools and habits that keep him locked in — and how his definition of “strength” has evolved over time.

Whether you're chasing performance goals, battling mental blocks, or just looking for inspiration, this episode is a reminder that greatness is built inside and out.

It’s more than muscle — it’s mindset.
