Hockey Grit: A conversation about mental toughness with Ph.D. Kevin L. Willis

The 89th episode of the podcast "the stoic pirate" is about
mental strength. The guest is Ph.D. Kevin L. Willis.


Kevin is a renowned performance Psychologist and one of the
leading mental coaches in North American ice hockey. The 56 year
old from Charlottesville/Virginia is convinced that the
difference between top athletes and average ones can be found
mainly in the area of mental strength.


In this podcast, Kevin talks about self-awareness, managing
talent, personality traits of successful athletes, managing
expectations, the role of parents, and much more.


In 2019, Kevin published an excellent book titled "Hockey Grit -
Grind & Mind".
A book that I would recommend to any ambitious hockey player, but
also to other athletes or people who want to improve their mental
strength. The book is written in an entertaining and
understandable way.
