As a goalie, it’s easy to get stuck in your own head, replaying every mistake and beating yourself up for not being perfect. But the truth is, no one expects perfection except you. There’s a fine line between pushing yourself to be better and pushing yourself too far, and when you cross it, the game you love starts to feel like a burden. You have to remind yourself that you’re human—there will be bad games, tough practices, and moments where nothing feels right. That’s normal. Instead of tearing yourself down, focus on learning from those moments. Growth doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from resilience. Give yourself permission to mess up, to breathe, and to move on. Hockey’s already a tough game—don’t make it tougher by being your own worst enemy.
