Creator of the “Mindful Defense” one ice training system for hockey players and founder of ATUNYA.
In the rise in skills training these days understanding of the game becomes even more crucial. Therefore we have been working on a program for youth athletes to be able to bring skills from skills day to game day.
“For me it’s also important and and a no-brainer to educate next generations hockey players to play a game that is beyond the game of hockey. It’s about mindset and how to conquer your own mind and body to reach your full potential”
