Send us Fan MailWhat does it take to stay calm, confident, and focused when you're playing in the biggest games of your life?In this episode of The Goalie Mindset Podcast, Pete Fry sits down with San Jose Sharks prospect Christian Kirsch as he prepares for the Memorial Cup Final after an outstanding season and playoff run.Christian shares his journey from growing up in Switzerland, moving through the Swiss development system, representing his country at multiple World Championships, and eventually making the jump to North America.But this conversation goes much deeper than hockey.Christian opens up about the mindset tools that helped transform his game and how learning to manage confidence, focus, and emotions has allowed him to perform at a higher level.Pete and Christian discuss:How confidence routines changed his gameWhy the Confidence Anchor became one of his most valuable toolsHow to bounce back after a goal againstThe importance of treating every game the same, no matter how big the stageWhy penalties, breakaways, and high-pressure situations are opportunities, not threatsHow to stay mentally fresh during a long seasonOne of the most powerful parts of the conversation is Christian's perspective on big games. Whether it's the World Juniors, playoffs, or the Memorial Cup Final, his approach stays the same:"The puck is still the same size."He also shares the importance of having an "on-off switch" as a goalie. Being fully locked in at the rink is important, but being able to step away from hockey and recharge is just as critical if you want to stay sharp throughout a long season.This episode is packed with practical mindset lessons that goalies can start using immediately.

Send us Fan MailHow do you stay in the game for more than 20 years as a professional goalie?In this episode of The Goalie Mindset Podcast, Pete Fry sits down with former pro goaltender Brett Jaeger, who built a career that lasted over two decades across North America and Europe.Brett shares his journey from growing up in a tiny town in northern Alberta to playing junior hockey, pro hockey in the ECHL and CHL, and eventually building a long career overseas in England, Denmark, and Germany.What makes this conversation powerful is how honest it is.Brett talks about getting thrown into tough situations early, facing 60–70 shots a night as a teenager, struggling through difficult stretches, and learning how to stay mentally steady through it all.Pete and Brett get into:Why playing on weaker teams can actually help goalies growThe importance of competing, even when things aren't going wellWhat Brett learned from guys like Robb Tallas and John StevensonWhy stretching and recovery helped extend his careerHow confidence and mindset become more important as you move up levelsThe difference between talented goalies and mentally tough goaliesBrett also shares a great message for goalie parents and coaches. Goalies already put enough pressure on themselves. They need support, trust, and room to work through adversity, not embarrassment or panic after every mistake.One of the best lines from the episode comes from Glenn Hall, who once signed Brett's blocker with this message:“Don't be afraid to sweat.”That pretty much sums up this whole conversation.
