Dr. John Stevenson is a sports psychologist and former goaltending coach who has worked with Braden Holtby and Carter Hart since they were young players. When Holtby won the Stanley Cup, he publicly credited Stevenson first — after his family — saying he wouldn't have been there without him. Stevenson and mindset coach Pete Fry (an NHL-drafted goaltender) are presenting goaltender-focused mental performance workshops across Canada, with the first sessions in Vancouver on June 22–23.
This week InGoal Radio presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, is one to pay close attention to. We all learn about gear and technique but if it’s true that the game is 80 or 90 percent mental then Dr. John Stevenson is someone you need to listen carefully to. He has guided Braden Holtby and Carter Hart since both were young. Stevenson started as a goaltending coach – right up to the NHL level – and transitioned into practice as a sports psychologist. In fact, when Holtby won the cup, after his family, Stevenson was the first person he thanked saying he wouldn’t have been there without him. Imagine what you could learn….
In the interview we talk about a workshop Stevenson is presenting across the country with another well-known goaltending mindset expert, Pete Fry (himself an NHL-drafted goaltender). The first sessions will be in Vancouver June 22/23.
