An NHL goaltender stands between his team and defeat. Every mistake is on the scoreboard. Thousands of people watching. Millions more at home.

Braden Holtby — 2018 Stanley Cup champion — had a secret weapon between whistles.

Most players think their mental problems are complex.

They're not.

Every single one of them — anger, fear, guilt, nerves, boredom, pressure — has the same root cause.

You left the present moment. And you believed the thoughts you found there.

The cure is not complicated.

Between every point: come back. Find one thing real. The feathers spinning. Your breath. A drop of water falling.

Do that — and the thoughts lose their grip.

Simple is not the same as easy. But it is the truth.
