NHL players don’t survive an 82-game season on willpower alone. They rely on structure, support, recovery, and mental routines that hold up under pressure. Today, Dr. Pete Kadushin shows us how to apply the same ideas to business, health, family, and life.

Even the best athletes in the world get in their own heads.

That was one of the biggest reminders from my conversation with Dr. Pete Kadushin.

Pete has been the mental performance coach for the Chicago Blackhawks. He has worked with elite athletes, military performers, and business leaders, so he’s seen what pressure looks like when the stakes are high, and excuses don’t matter.

And what stood out to me is this: the best performers still struggle. They still doubt themselves. They still overthink. They still search for reasons why they’re off.

That’s not just a sports problem. That’s a human problem.

We all have moments when something feels off, and our first instinct is to look outside ourselves. But often, the thing weighing us down is not the schedule, the pressure, or the circumstances. It’s what we’re carrying into the moment.

Pete and I talk about why the next level often requires a different kind of growth. Not more force, more grinding, or another attempt to push harder through the same wall.
