Mental Fitness Training

Hockey success starts with mental strength. The clinic kicks off with a 45 mental fitness workshop, which serves as foundation for our daily mental health work. Each day includes focused training sessions designed to build confidence and mental resilience:

  • Positive Self-Talk: Replace negative thoughts with empowering statements to stay sharp and confident, even under pressure.
  • Guided Visualization: Practice visualizing successful game scenarios to improve focus, preparation, and execution.
  • Pre-Game Routines: Learn routines that calm nerves, boost confidence, and get you ready to compete.

On-Ice Training

Very skills-focused. Players will be challenged with innovative drills and real-game scenarios to foster quick thinking and smart play:

Lateral Agility & Body Mechanics:

  • Improve edge control and learn the value of lateral movement.
  • Use lateral movement to gain a positional advantage and escape pressure effectively.

Puck Creativity & Trickiness:

  • Develop skills to make you unpredictable on the ice—whether it’s protecting the puck, faking out opponents, or creating space in tight areas.
  • Learn deceptive puck handling techniques and quick thinking to keep your opponents guessing.

Reading and Reacting to Pressure:

  • Hone your ability to read defensive pressure and make split-second decisions.
  • Practice drills that simulate high-pressure situations, improving your ability to react confidently and effectively.

Research-Based Training

The game has gotten smaller and more complex. We incorporate the latest in biomechanics, neuroscience, and tech to help athletes succeed in today's game.

Mental Fitness

At the highest levels of sports, it's the mental game that makes a difference. We teach kids how to bounce back, embrace confidence, and be a good teammate.

Cognitively Challenging Tasks

Hockey is faster than ever. Our trainings are cognitively faithful to the challenges of the game, helping kids develop both mental and physical speed.

Actually Fun

Boredom is the enemy of learning. We create truly fun environments which boosts learning retention and makes students want to come back.

My daughters and me
About the Coach
I'm Josh Chambers. I'm a licensed therapist with OHL and NHL experience, and I believe much of today's athletic development is outdated.

To prepare for training camp with the Red Wings, I hired a skate doctor and experienced firsthand the power of precise, individualized training. I had spent countless hours at power skating clinics over the years, but it was those focused, personalized sessions that made a real difference. That experience transformed how I think about training.

Then there was the mental side—something I had no training in but desperately needed. Four games after training camp, a slapshot to the face fractured my skull. The mental toll during recovery was significant and gave me a new perspective on the psychological side of development.

When I began coaching my daughter, I saw a clear lack of both innovative skills training and mental fitness in hockey development. That’s why I started Headspace Hockey: to combine cutting-edge skills training with sports psychology, helping build confident, resilient athletes.
