What does it take to compete on the Olympic stage… and thrive under pressure?

In this powerful episode of The Goalie Mindset Podcast, Pete Fry sits down with Olympian and Certified Goalie Mindset Coach Paris O’Brien — former KHL goaltender, Beijing 2022 Olympian.

Paris shares his journey from growing up as an underdog in Coquitlam, BC to representing his Chinese heritage at the Olympics. He opens up about playing under legendary coach Mike Keenan, competing on the world stage, and the mindset lessons that shaped his career.

Together, Pete and Paris dive deep into the mental game — including:

Why nervousness and excitement are the same energy

How to master bounce back after a save not made

The difference between the Athlete Mindset vs. Fan Mindset

How to handle comparison during draft years

Reset mechanisms that actually work during games

Why body language and breathing change performance instantly

How mindset skills translate to school, life, and competition beyond hockey

They also discuss burnout, recovery, and why sharpening your “mental saw” is just as important as on-ice training.

This episode is about building resilience, confidence, and mental toughness that lasts a lifetime.

If you're a goalie, parent, or coach looking to raise your mental game — this conversation delivers Olympic-level insight.

What does it really take to become a dominating goalie at the highest level?

In this episode of The Goalie Mindset Podcast, Pete Fry sits down with Anaheim Ducks goaltender Calle Clang for a deep, honest conversation about mindset, belief, and the journey from a small town in Sweden to the NHL.

Calle shares how he fell in love with goaltending at a young age, played men’s hockey at just 14 years old, moved away from home at 15, and committed early to an NHL vision—long before the results showed up. Together, Pete and Calle break down the mental habits that separate elite goalies from the rest: staying present, trusting your game, blocking out outside noise, and preparing mentally before the puck ever drops.

You’ll hear powerful insights on:

Why loving the game matters more than stats or wins

How balance (on and off the ice) directly impacts goalie performance

Lessons learned from NHL camps, trades, and pro pressure

The influence of Henrik Lundqvist and Carey Price

Visualization, journaling, and preparation for consistent confidence

What Calle would tell his younger self—and what every goalie needs to hear

Whether you’re a young goalie, a parent, or a coach, this episode is packed with real-world lessons on mindset, resilience, and becoming the calm, confident presence your team needs in the crease.

🎧 Tune in and learn what it truly means to stop the puck, trust yourself, and dominate—one moment at a time.

What separates “good” from legendary in the crease?

In this episode of The Goalie Mindset Podcast, Pete Fry sits down with Ian Clark—world-renowned goalie coach and Head of Goalie Development for the Vancouver Canucks—for a masterclass on what the best goalies actually do when nobody’s watching… and what they repeat when the pressure is highest.

Ian breaks down the real difference-makers behind elite performance:

• Why your eyes are your #1 anatomical advantage—and how to train them on every single shot
• The elite habit Roberto Luongo did 100% of the time (even in practice) that builds unstoppable control
• The “do less, see more” awareness that made Henrik Lundqvist surgical
• Carey Price’s calm “quick starts, quick stops” and how anticipation is earned (not guessed)
• Bobrovsky’s legendary work ethic—and the growth mindset that believes there’s no top to the skyscraper
• Why the best goalies still make standing saves… and what that reveals about patience

Then Ian reveals what’s next: his new app From The Crease (FTC)—built to help goalies and coaches take skills from concept → practice → game emergence, with modules, drills, video demos, analytics, and coach-goalie connection tools.

If you’re serious about building a dominating goalie career, this episode is a blueprint.
