Send us a textFormer NHL player Brent Sopel joins us to share his incredible journey from the ice rink to becoming a passionate advocate for those with learning disabilities. Brent, who played over 700 NHL games, reveals how his and his daughter's diagnoses of dyslexia led him to establish the Brent Sopel Foundation, aiming to support youth facing similar challenges. Through heartfelt anecdotes, Brent discusses how ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia affected both their lives, stressing the importance of early diagnosis and individualized learning approaches.With raw honesty, Brent opens up about the emotional highs and lows of his career, including winning the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010, and the profound sense of isolation he felt despite his success. He shares his struggles with addiction, the intervention by his family, and the ongoing journey toward sobriety and self-acceptance. This episode dives deep into the mental health challenges athletes face, the impact of different coaching styles, and the universal theme of inner struggles masked by outward success. Brent's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-reflection and human connection in overcoming life's hurdles.Finally, we explore Brent's experiences with the NHL's salary cap era, the friendships and challenges of playing in Russia, and the financial sacrifices players make for the betterment of the game. We also touch on the stark contrast between past and present athlete lifestyles, the scrutiny they face, and the resilience required to transition to life after retirement. This candid conversation is not just about the glitz and glamour of professional sports but about finding purpose, understanding oneself, and advocating for mental health and learning disabilities. Tune in to be inspired by Brent Sopel's journey of adversity, resilience, and unwavering commitment to making a positive impact.Powered by Perfect Sports Supplements use "AP20" to save 20%!--Want to see more of the AP?

Along with their friend Matty, a Nassau Coliseum usher since 2001, Mike and Dan remember eventual Stanley Cup champion defenseman Brent Sopel's brief time with the Islanders. They talk about the strange circumstances that brought Sopel to the Island and the high hopes management had for his veteran leadership and offensive skills. Sadly, the Islanders were a bit of a dumpster fire at the time, and his trade to Los Angeles just a few months later was greeted with relief and enthusiasm by the blueliner. Later, they discuss Sopel's place on the Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks of 2010, the admirable charity and humanitarian endeavors of his playing and post-playing career, and how Matty once got the death stare by Jeff Tambellini, the weirdest Weird Islander to have played too many games to be an actual Weird Islander.

Unaware of clinically having Dyslexia, former professional hockey player Brent Sopel discovered his disability at age 32. In this inspiring episode, Brent shares what the real struggles looked like, contrary to what many people understand them and why it's essential to talk about this handicap to help young people who are undiagnosed and misunderstood.   Join me in this episode of Someone Gets Me —Neurodiversity in Everyday Life with Brent Sopel ▶️ Key points covered in this episode:    ✔️ Many adults that are gifted and neurodiverse don't find out about their own situation until their children get diagnosed.  Such is the case with Brent Sopel. He profoundly understands the struggles of people living with dyslexia who have to deal with reduced career opportunities, social isolation, and lower satisfaction in all areas of life.    ✔️ Hockey saved Brent in many ways. It didn't only serve as a job but also as a self-esteem booster. As a visual and physical sport, hockey fits into Brent's natural abilities without all the reading and writing struggle experienced in school all day long.    ✔️ Have an extra empathy chip.  Many people with dyslexia continue to suffer from a lack of understanding and support. People need to understand the disability and be more aware as suicides have tripled in the last ten years, with an intense 90% of suicide notes left by a person with dyslexia.    ✔️ Early diagnosis of Dyslexia and the early understanding of what turns it into a gift. Dyslexia is positively correlated with intelligence; even though there's a misnomer, people might feel bad about themselves.    ✔️ By starting the Brent Sopel Foundation, his mission is to provide financial and educational support and early detection and intervention that people with dyslexia deserve.   ✔️ Don't ever ask, "Why me?" Whatever that pain is, it's gotten you here today. Brent has this to say to everyone going through dyslexia. "You're not alone. No matter what you are going through, your battles -- know that we all go through things. But we can go through it together." ___________________________________________________________________________________   How to Connect with Dianne A.

Brent Bernard Sopel is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman who played the majority of his career in the National Hockey League.

A big fan of marketing, psychology, and sport, Eric combined all three and began reaching out to his contacts to discuss how they could attack the mental health epidemic strategically and differently than had ever been done before. He had to bring purpose to his own experience and believed he must have gone through that horrific period for a reason. With suicides at a 30-year high, and drug/opioid abuse out of control, he knows something major must change with the messaging if we're to reverse these negative trends. He was overwhelmed by the positive responses he received from athletes, celebrities, and practitioners all over the globe, wanting to join in, all of whom bought into his vision of bringing a louder voice to this cause through a Global Alliance under a singular, bold but inclusive brand message: #SameHere (mental health lives on a continuum and we are ALL impacted…we ALL have a story). The charter Celebrity Alliance launched with a formal rally with over 300 supporters in attendance on November 14th, 2017, in New York City. There, The Alliance introduced their “#SameHere” Movement, uniting the world through one ASL sign language hand gesture (you see depicted in their logos and profile pictures) that communicates – no matter where we live, or what our background or our accolades, we all go through life's inevitable challenges, and we should have a society where it is openly acceptable to talk about those challenges, thus: “#SameHere!” Video.

Jack Canfield, the co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, once observed that “self-esteem is made up primarily of two things: feeling lovable and feeling capable.” Low self-esteem doesn't play favorites. But it can betray a fondness for children with learning disabilities. And because school-based learning programs are created for the masses — meaning neurotypical children — a child who learns differently may fall victim to believing he or she isn't as smart as their classmates. And this belief comes with baggage: shame, doubt, and feeling different. When children with learning disabilities fall into that trapped thinking they may link their performance and ability to their self-worth, as they no longer feel worthy of respect or love from others. That can result in them dodging homework, withdrawing from social activities, or acting out. Bewildered parents wonder: How can I boost my son's self-esteem? How can I teach my daughter to cope? How can I celebrate my child's strengths? On this episode of “A World of Difference,” we'll meet a pair of Charlotte, NC brothers at The Fletcher School, who learn differently whose parents have been all in with helping bolster their sons' sense of self and supporting their journeys toward abundant lives. Next, we dive deeper into the sources and methods of bolstering self-esteem with an esteemed panel of experts in our “Ask the Experts” segment. Finally, we'll introduce you to this month's “Difference Maker,” Stanley Cup champion Brent Sopel, who now is scoring even more points off the ice chasing his goal of helping dyslexics like him find their footing. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/a-world-of-difference/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/a-world-of-difference/support

And he's not doing this because he played 1000+ professional hockey games over 18 years or because he won a Stanley Cup in 2010 with the Chicago Black Hawks... He is determined to leave his mark by creating awareness around dyslexia and mental health. Since retiring he has created the Brent Sopel Foundation which is dedicated to providing financial and educational assistance to help students with dyslexia fulfill their potential through early detection and intervention. In 2015 his daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia. Soon after Brent discovered that he too had it. That realization had come full circle and helped answer the reason why he had struggled in school as a youth but was given different labels at that time.

This week's guest is hockey star Brent Sopel, who most notably won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010. His amazing hockey career included time on 7 NHL teams and playing in over 1000 games. As a defenseman, Sopel's a tough-as-nails, block-all-shots machine. Outside the rink, however, things slowly fell apart as his undiagnosed dyslexia contributed to a decline in self-worth and eventually led to extreme alcohol abuse. Discussed outside the Willowbrook Portillo's on this week's show: Coach Q's firing: Was he scapegoated? The impact of dyslexia on Brent's hockey career and his self esteem.

Memories of Chicago's Stanley Cup parade: "I've got goosebumps just thinking about it." What it felt like when Brent got traded after the Stanley Cup win. How loud is the United Center, compared to other arenas? Brent's time playing in Siberia. Brent was "lost" when he was no longer playing hockey. The real world's "not a friendly place."

Brent Sopel, 2010 Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks, reveals how loyalty, and showing vulnerability inspired his teammates to better their game. He says that’s what needed for team versus individual success. Key Takeaways [8:37] Brent was on a hockey team at age five. He learned team loyalty then. You win as a team, or you don’t win. Every time he put the jersey on he was going to give it his all. [13:55] Brent was brought into the Blackhawks as an older player to mentor the young defense players. He showed them his vulnerabilities on the ice and let them be vulnerable so they could learn to improve. That team won the Stanley Cup in 2010, and some of the young players became Blackhawks superstars. [16:17] The 2010 Blackhawks team was the first team Brent had been on that got along so well. There were no groups, only the team. Everyone respected everybody and their roles.   [19:02] Focus 100% on the task at hand. Have your mind in a good place. Be 100% committed. Visualize what you need to do before you do it, to clear your mind of all distractions. On the ice, Brent was so intent that he didn’t care if he was going to break his hand or his leg blocking a puck. He was never the most skilled but he could always work harder than anybody. [25:55] Executives that have not been on a team have trouble working together. If you are not committed to your team, you will struggle as individuals and as a company.
