  • Hockey Is What You Do, Not Who You Are: Identity, Mindset, and Growth

    Hockey Is What You Do, Not Who You Are: Identity, Mindset, and Growth
    Jan 20 2026

    Welcome to Episode 53 — Hockey Is What You Do, Not Who You Are: Identity, Mindset, and Growth … brought to you by Vaughn Custom Sports!

    Today, host Jeff Lerg and Chris Palmer discuss the main topic: identity and the dangers of over-identification with being “a hockey player”. We also dive into why we linked identity to standards, or daily codes of conduct— and how youth systems that push single-sport immersion can narrow identity and increase risk.

    💥 Episode 53 highlights:

    - How other roles (e.g., fisherman, skateboarder, friend, artist) are very important because off-ice joy refuels on-ice performance.

    - Jeff's example of founding his goalie coaching business as a college sophomore, which 20 years later has evolved into mentoring—an example of expanding identity that energized his playing years

    - How identity drives standards—daily codes of conduct—that shape behavior.

    - We warned that even highly successful players can feel lost post-hockey; he urged building a full life and revisiting the identity–standards–habits loop, noting brains develop until ~25

    - How one can have multiple identities, because being just a "hockey player" can be suffocating.

    AND A LOT MORE!

  • Our Recruiting Journeys with Jeff Lerg & Natalie Ferenc

    Our Recruiting Journeys with Jeff Lerg & Natalie Ferenc
    Jan 13 2026

    Welcome to Episode 53 — Our Recruiting Journeys with Jeff Lerg & Natalie Ferenc … brought to you by Vaughn Custom Sports!

    Today, host Jeff Lerg and our producer Natalie Ferenc sit down and discuss their recruitment process in committing and playing at Division 1 universities.

    Episode 53 highlights:

    - How recruitment has revealed significant changes in modern college sports such as NIL and the number of athletes in the transfer portal, emphasizing that modern athletes are "always being recruited" rather than just during traditional recruitment periods in youth.

    - Both Jeff and Natalie walk through when they first started to get recruited, what the process looked like for them, and when they committed.

    - The importance of dominating at your current level.

    - They highlighted key recruiting characteristics including being coachable, reliable, trustworthy, and a good teammate. Coaches avoid players who are overly confident without proof, cocky, or create headaches regardless of skill level.

    - How consistent performance and character development remain crucial throughout the process.

    - Differences in men's and women's recruitment to college hockey.

    Episode 51 highlights:

    - Natalie Ferenc, our producer, is back on the pod—bringing fresh inspiration as we dive into the stories of high-performing athletes and what’s truly possible in just one year’s time.

    - Inspirational athletes who exemplify their overcoming philosophy. Natalie highlighted Fernando Mendoza, Indiana's quarterback who won the Heisman Trophy and Alex Ovechkin's remarkable comeback story, emphasizing how the 39-year-old hockey legend broke his leg but returned to set the all-time goal-scoring record.

    - Finding your "why".

    - How sports follow a non-linear path and that perfection is impossible, but the process of pursuing excellence leads to great outcomes.
