Description

Hockey is a fast and emotionally intense sport—where momentum swings in seconds and athletes must manage nerves, physicality, frustration, and decision-making at high speed. As a coach, you see your players practice with confidence, only to tighten, overthink, or hesitate when the pressure hits.

For over 40 years, Dr. G has helped hockey players at every level develop mental toughness, rebound from setbacks, break through slumps, and perform with confidence under pressure. Together, Dr. G and Sara bring a modern, body–mind framework to coaching hockey athletes—helping you understand why breakdowns happen and exactly how to build athletes who stay composed, focused, and resilient in the moments that matter.

The Ice Hockey Coaches Package gives you a complete system to train the mental side of hockey, strengthen your leadership, and build a team culture grounded in confidence, mental toughness, and competitive consistency.

What You’ll Learn

With the Ice Hockey Coaches Package, you’ll learn how to:

Coach the Mental & Physiological Side of Hockey

Train players to manage pressure, nerves, momentum swings, and last-minute negative thinking
Understand the root causes of slumps, hesitation, inconsistency, and playing tight
Help athletes shift from overthinking to instinctive, fast, confident play
Build mental toughness into daily practices—not just hope it shows up in games

Develop Composed, Confident, Competitive Athletes

Strengthen focus, emotional control, and composure—especially after mistakes
Coach athletes through frustration, fear, perfectionism, intimidation, and self-doubt
Teach players to rebound quickly from bad shifts, penalties, turnovers, or early setbacks
Build the internal skills that create true long-term resilience

Communicate Like a High-Performance Hockey Coach

Use language and timing that reinforce clarity, confidence, grit, and competitive focus
Navigate athlete overwhelm, shutdown, or spiraling with grounded leadership
Manage your own nervous system so you model the calm, presence, and confidence you expect from your athletes
Work effectively with parents so they support, not derail, your mental training

Build a High-Trust, High-Consistency Team Culture

Create a practice environment where athletes take risks, push edges, and grow
Reduce emotional reactivity, comparison, and pressure dynamics in the locker room
Establish mental routines and resilience skills that transfer directly to competition
Align athletes, coaches, and parents around the principles that create hockey excellence

The Bottom Line

The Ice Hockey Coaches Package gives you a complete system to build mentally tough, confident, and competition-ready hockey players—while elevating your own communication, leadership, and coaching presence.

You’ll learn how to help athletes stay composed under pressure, recover from mistakes quickly, and play with the resilience and competitive fire that hockey demands. You’ll also gain deeper insight into the psychological and physiological forces that drive performance, so you can intervene effectively—without triggering more tension, fear, or overthinking.

This is how you develop hockey players who compete freely, aggressively, and confidently, no matter the stakes—and build a team culture where mental toughness is trained, expected, and embodied.

Though these products aren’t sport-specific, hockey coaches consistently report powerful improvements in athlete confidence, composure, and competitive performance.

Testimonials

A real breakthrough book for athletes! Having been frustrated using traditional cognitive-behavioral approaches with athletes experiencing freezing, choking or the yips, this book packs in all of the information you need to make a wonderful impact with athletes suffering from these recurrent sports performance issues. I was able to put the breakthrough therapy of `brainspotting’ to immediate use with my clients and the results were spectacular! I would highly recommend this book and its techniques to all practitioners who work with athletes. You will be thrilled with your results. But that’s not all. The authors wrote this book so that athletes could also benefit. They carefully put together treatment strategies that athletes can employ even without a therapist. I recommend this not just for therapists who work with athletes, but for athletes themselves!

Dr. G. After working with you and your program, my son’s entire game turned around! He was aggressive, played free, checking hard, without fear or hesitation. It was like Josh was possessed. The whole time he was laughing, smiling and truly enjoying every moment. It was a pleasure to watch. After the game his coach said to the team that Josh was the first star of the game, praised him for his efforts and announced “the old Josh is back!” Thank you! Thank you!

Jim

My son has always been an over thinker and this has hurt his game. 14 Steps helps him keep his focus and his consistent and improved play is proof that you know what you’re talking about!

John

Coach G! Thanks so much for this program. I listened in while my boys were working with it and I have to say, your content was great! You have a wonderful way of teaching mental training and making it interesting! You have helped open my kids eyes and I have seen the difference in their smiles, improved play and confidence. What a gift!

Chris

I have downloaded your 14 Steps to mental toughness and have been listening to them with my son. I must say that it is having a very positive impact on both of us!! We live in the UK where this type of science is not well known, but now I am persuaded by it! I am so grateful that I discovered your work as my son is only 17 so has plenty of time to benefit.

Mohammed

I want to let you know how much I enjoy and respect your series, “14 Steps.” I coach a small high school and your program not only helped my team play better under pressure, it significantly helped my 17 year old daughter who’s a three sport athlete. She used to think too much and get too nervous going into games. Now she plays the way she practices, relaxed and aggressively. Thanks for your product.

Gail

Your new program has really helped both of my kids even though they are in different sports! My daughter used to get too nervous before she played and she told me how much more relaxed and focused she feels now and I can see it in her level of confidence and success on the field. My son had a long history of doing better in practice than competition, leaving him frustrated and us not knowing how to help him. What a difference I see in him now when he competes under pressure. Thanks so much — you’re a great teacher!

Parent

Coach G, Thanks for the downloads. I absolutely love the content. You have opened my kids eyes and I have seen the difference immediately in their smiles and improved play. What a gift!

Kris

I just love your new book! Parents on my team were driving me nuts and making me really angry, getting in the way of me doing a decent job of coaching. This book has helped me get things in perspective and to recruit my parents to help me! I feel like I now have a much better understanding of where they’re coming from and how to effectively work with them. Thank you! Thank you! I won’t quit coaching after all!

John B

I was listening to your “Parents” audio today on my drive and I have to say it opened my eyes! Especially the part where you talk about “good” and “bad” nervous. What a life skills gift to teach parents how to teach their kids how to roll with the “juice” that naturally comes up as you’re about to perform! The “Juice” is normal, it is what will fuel you. Don’t fear “The Juice” embrace it. Such a great audio! Thank you.

Wesley

This is a GREAT tool to use with any sport parents. I had the parents on my team listen to it in one of our meetings and I couldn’t believe the response. It opened their eyes. Doc, you have such a great way of presenting things. Your humor makes parents willing to listen to all the things they’ve been doing wrong and what they need to do to change without getting defensive. Bless you.

Ray B

Alan, What I REALLY like about your audio series and workbook is that you take athletes through the exercises and personally teach them how to stay calm under pressure, relax the nights before big competitions and how to use visualization to improve performance. My kids love doing the relaxation exercises although they sometimes chuckle at your extreme Boston accent! Thanks for a great training tool!

Ed

Dr. G’s program has been a wonderful addition to my coaching. It has helped me train my athletes so that they consistently come through under pressure. The stories and exercises are easy to listen to and powerful and this program has become a regular part of my overall coaching.

Dan Hart

Thanks so much! I finally learned how to get my parents on the same page that I’m on. They’re actually helping me now! Go Figure! It has made things so much much easier for me to do my job. I think this is a critically important book for coaches in any sport.

Jack

I’ve been coaching 20 years and this is one of the most versatile mental toughness training sets I’ve run across. It’s loaded with great exercises and stories that really work. I strongly recommend it to all my athletes.

Dennis

Congratulations on your program, “14 Steps!” They are truly outstanding and thoroughly cover all the mental aspects of sports which are challenging to athletes and coaches. We are using them this year as part of our weekly training program and the kids love your stories and teachings!

Ken S

Dr. G, I just finished reading This is Your Brain On Sports and I absolutely loved it! It opened my eyes to what really causes athletes to fall apart and it will help me be more effective with my players!

Frank

An eye opening approach to working with athletes. As a former athlete and current coach this book has opened my eyes to outside factors that can truly have a very debilitating effect on the performance of athletes. The challenges of sport require mind and body to be in sync and athletes may experience the ripples of underlying problems coming out in their play that may have no relation to sport, and may not have happened recently. The authors have found a new approach to understanding and treating the most unreachable athletes. I suggest this book for any counselor, coach, teacher, parent and or athlete that may be looking for answers as to “Why?”. It’s all relevant when it comes to life experiences and this book explains why sport is no exception.

My coaching staff listened to the audio with me and are all very excited, so excited in fact that we are hosting a workshop for parents. I gave another copy of this audio program directly to a couple of parents. The response was so positive these parents have actually volunteered to participate in helping to run the parent workshop. They listened to the audio programs and consciously put into practice some of your parent guidelines. As a result, not only are they enjoying closer relationships with their children, but the kids are enjoying their sport again!
