Shownotes

Most hockey players don't lose their career to injury.

They lose it to the weekend.

The party. The girls. The phone. The slow drift away from the one window they were ever going to get.

Robert Mazin left Latvia at 15 with no agent, no mentor, no roadmap. He found his way through hockey programs across three continents and watched hundreds of players blow their shot from the inside out. Now he runs 369 Sports and Entertainment and spends his life making sure young athletes don't make the same mistakes.

In this episode we talk about what actually separates the players who make it from the ones who don't. It has nothing to do with talent. It never did.

We talk about the window. Why 16 is the moment everything either locks in or falls apart. What happens to a young man's brain and body when discipline disappears. The death that comes when sports ends and there's nothing left to hold onto. And what breathwork and emotional fitness have to do with any of it.

This is the conversation the locker room never had.

For the players. For the parents. For the coaches who know something is missing but can't name it.
