These are in fact tools that we can put time into and practice just like any other physical skill, and you don't have to be in the bottom of the barrel or suffering or being in a position of low self-confidence to benefit from committing to practicing and training these skills and having a mentor in that sense, a coach in that sense.
Ever wondered what happens when the bright lights of the NHL dim? Kris Beech knows all too well. In this gripping episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', former NHL player Kris Beech joins host Brady Leavold to share his raw and heartfelt journey. Drafted 7th overall by the Washington Capitals in 1999, Beech's path seemed paved with gold.
But behind the scenes, he was battling personal demons and addiction, a struggle that would eventually lead him to a completely new life path. Beech opens up about the immense pressure of moving away to play junior hockey and the high expectations that come with being a top draft pick. His candid discussion with Leavold reveals the dark side of chasing a dream that nearly destroyed him. But this story isn't just about falling down; it's about getting back up.
Today, Beech is a certified mindfulness coach, helping others find balance and purpose. The conversation goes beyond the rink, touching on how mindfulness can benefit not just athletes but anyone facing life's pressures. Whether you're an aspiring athlete, a parent, or someone looking for inspiration to overcome your own battles, Beech's story offers valuable insights and hope.
