"John, You know, this system is great. Flat out great."

John,
You know, this system is great. Flat out great. I moved far from the safety of my local rinks to play college on the other side of the country. My doubts we getting the best of me. The back up, which is clearly less skilled and focused, was getting the starts. During Christmas break I bought your system off ebay, placed it on my Ipod, and listened to it during periods of rest or out doing mindless things (i.e. walking the dogs, walking around campus.) One of the songs in your program was on a cd I owned so I began to listen just to the song right before a game, the messages which I chose to accept fill my head despite not hearing the messages. Giving me what I call "calm confidence." I finished the season 6-2, with the team fully endorsing me to be the starter.

Thank You,
C.

Today I played for the first time since listening to "The Goalie's Mind". I had my first "Statue of Liberty Play"! It was so exciting! You should have heard the cheers from the guys!

John, I'm a 52 year old woman, who loves to play ice hockey! I went to my first Colorado Avalanche game in February of '96. At the time I wasn't at all interested in hockey. Well, all that changed, when they started playing. I couldn't take my eyes off of Patrick Roy. I decided than, and there, that, that's what I wanted to do! I play men's drop-in. It's always way above my level, but, I love the challenge! I'm 5'2 and weigh 105 lbs. But, as I tell everybody, I raised four sons, and nothing scares me! Today I played for the first time since listening to "The Goalie's Mind". I had my first "Statue of Liberty Play"! It was so exciting! You should have heard the cheers from the guys! I made many saves that I have never made before! A lot more cheering! John, thank you so much!!! Can "The Goalie's Mind" help me play at a higher level?
Thank you so much

"Within a week or two of listening to the cd I could see a change in how he was playing. He has been playing outstanding in goal. He appears to be calm and confident like this is something he has been doing for years."

John,

I purchased your cd about four weeks ago for my son. He is ten years old and has only been playing hockey/goalie since the beginning of the summer. He has a natural ability to play goal and has progressed so quickly that he was asked to play for the travel team in his first year. He has had proper coaching right from the onset so he has been learning the proper techniques since he began playing. He works very hard on the ice in practice and was playing very well, however when he began playing in the preseason games he appeared very nervous and was not playing as well as I knew he could. Around this time a co-worker whose son is also a goalie told me about your website. I went on line and purchased your cd and [my son] began listening to it on a daily basis. Within a week or two of listening to the cd I could see a change in how he was playing. He has been playing outstanding in goal. He appears to be calm and confident like this is something he has been doing for years. He never reacts poorly or flustered in the net if a goal is scored he just gets into position and is ready for the next face off. I think this is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone. I truly believe that this helping him develop the mental side of the game that he lacked.

Please keep me informed of any new products you are developing and let as soon as they are available.

Thanks,
Brian

"My son listens to your previous version several times a week, and we firmly believe that it has been one cataylst to the elite level of hockey he now plays."

Hi John, Thank you so much for the updated version! My son listens to your previous version several times a week, and we firmly believe that it has been one cataylst to the elite level of hockey he now plays. He is 15 years old and plays for the Calgary Buffaloes Midget A Team. After many years as a goalie mom watching, there is undoubtably many moments of disappointment and pressure for a goalie. We strive to foster our son to let go of those games, learn from them and keep working hard to accomplish his dreams. I am a firm believer in guided meditation myself, and was thrilled to know that there would be a simular mental training program for him out there. So, in closing, thank you again, and we appreciate you continuing to improve your program and to offer that to us clients. Best Regards,

Kimberley C.

"... the saves that Taylor made were incredible in all 4 games, even the parents on the other teams said that he was awesome in net."

Hi John:

My son Taylor and I just came back from a Minor Atom "AA" tournament in Oshawa, Ontario. Taylor just started the program about a week ago and listens to the CD everyday. At the last tournament his team lost all 3 games. At this tournament we were the only team to win all 3 games, and this morning we were in the semi finals, unfortunately our team lost in a sudden death overtime 1-0 , however the saves that Taylor made were incredible in all 4 games, even the parents on the other teams said that he was awesome in net.

Taylor and I believe that the tapes have definitely helped him prepare for and play in net. This week we face the top team in our division and I know that Taylor is going to do great with his new found confidence "between the pipes".

Thanks

"We have noticed a great shift in attitude, confidence, and ultimately performance"

Hi John-
Our 14 yr old son has been using the Goalies Mind program for about 6 weeks.
This week he had U16 tryouts. He was relaxed, focused, and confident. He was even in a great mood for the 3 day tryout. He made the team, and was also asked to be the developmental goaltender for our local Junior team. We have noticed a great shift in attitude, confidence, and ultimately performance. Thank you from a Goalie Dad in Montana.

"Your program truly does work."

Hi John,
I just wanted to let you know that my wife and I had purchased your program for our 13 year old son in order to help him with his goaltending. We had always thought he was a good goaltender but lacked focus for a full 60 minutes and seemed to lack confidence. He plays a very competitive level of hockey in Canada. As parents, we were skeptical about your program but decided to give it a try.

After 2 weeks with my son listening to your CD's every day, we noticed a change in him. A positive change in the way he approached his games. He has played incredible games. He is making unbelievable saves. He seems to be so much more focused and seems to show tremendous confidence in his abilities to stop the puck. Even his coaches and his teammates have noticed a difference in him in how well he is playing.

John, we can't thank you enough for helping our son be the best goaltender he can be. Your program truly does work.

"WOW the changes I'm experiencing are UNBELIEVABLE"

John, I'm 15 years old and this is my first year playing hockey and i'm the goalie. I bought The Goalies Mind and when i first listened to it I could hardly make it through the whole CD, I felt so uncomfortable listening to it because I didn't believe anything on the CD. I listened to it about once a week, and it was helping me alittle bit. Then, I made it a priority to listen to it every day... and WOW the changes i'm experiencing are UNBELIEVABLE. The last game I got my first shut out. It's unbelievable how many positive thoughts I have a day instead of negative. I used to be so scared to play a game and i would get so nervous 1 week before and it was horrible, I never wanted to play any games. Now, after listening to the CD for only 30 days, I'm so hyper for the games and playing in games are the best thing ever!!!!! I think every goalie should have this program, it works so good. Thank you so much for making this CD, it's helping me so much, I don't know where i'd be without it.

"Thank you John for restoring confedence in my young goalie."

John!
After lstening to Goalie's mind just once, my son said: I can stop any shot, piece of cake! Now when he plays a tough team, he says: Bring them ( breakaways, rebounds) on , the more the better. When the pucks does go in, my son is Calm, Cool, Collected. Thank you John for restoring confedence in my young goalie.

"It's honestly amazing what the cds did for me"

John, I bought the cd's about a month ago. Since then I haven't lost a game in either league. It's honestly amazing what the cds did for me. I'd listen to one or the other 2 times a day. All my teammates keep telling me how great I'm doing. I really don't think I'm doing that great. And whenever I do let up a goal I don't really care. I just wanted to say thank you.

"The two games that he got the MVP Awards, he had sufficient time to relax and listen to the complete program."

I purchased the Goalie's Mind for my son 2 months ago, in MP3 format. I listened to it initially after downloading it and was quite impressed, and was eager for him to start listening to it as well. However, he seemed slow to warm up to it, and didn't listen to it for over a month. I wasn't sure whether it was the background music, or the fact that he couldn't skip the intro (relaxation part) and go directly to the affirmations. I didn't push it, but allowed him to work through it on his own. Two days before leaving for a May Long Weekend tournament in Winnipeg, he listened to the program twice. We just returned from that tournament and he received 2 MVP Awards out of the 3 games he played. He attributes his success to the Goalie's Mind Program. I made an interesting observation this weekend as well. The two games that he got the MVP Awards, he had sufficient time to relax and listen to the complete program. The third game he was rushed, and did not have time to listen to the full program before the game, as we stayed at the rink between games. My son is now sold on your program, as he has seen the power of it in action, after only listening to it 5 times. I can only image how he will perform once he incorporates it into his daily routine.

"They are the Doggies bollox!"

Hi there.
I am emailing to praise you mental training soundtracks. I trained last night after having used them for 3 days and I was on fire. I have been on a slump for the past few training sessions and this has really pulled me out of it.The puck just seemed to hit me all the time I was always in position and everything seemed easier. I don't know whether your soundtracks actually work or whether it is a case of me thinking they work and so it having a positive effect on me...to be honest I don't care, it had an excellent effect on my game. They are the Doggy's bollox ( that's a an english phrase meaning that they are good.) Well worth the money.
Thanks and Regards

"This weekend we had our first ice game since the holiday break and he was unbelievable! In his ice hockey game he took 19 shots and gave up only one goal"

Hello John,

Thank you for the book attachment! I thought I would share some feedback on the CD's. I have a 10 year old Squirt A goalie who plays both ice and some roller hockey in the summer months at the highest levels where we live. He had been told by his coach that he has talent coming out of his ears but needed to work on his mental toughness. Shortly after a discussion with his coach I ran across an advertisement for The Goalies Mind and thought I had to try it. Well, my son has had the program for a little over a week now and listens to it every morning and every night at bed time. This weekend we had our first ice game since the holiday break and he was unbelievable! In his ice hockey game he took 19 shots and gave up only one goal. I was very impressed that he did not get up set by this goal as it was a controversial one with one ref having called it off and one saying it was good. Rather then get frustrated he maintained his focus and stopped the last 12 shots for the win. He was also asked to fill in during a roller hockey tournament for the 14 and under team, he normally plays roller over the summer and has been away since July. He went into the tournament and stood on his head. He came out of the tournament with the second highest save percentage with a 87.5% after facing 80 shots in 3 games. He was laughed at for his size being so much smaller then all the 14 years olds and he blew it off and played amazing! I think your program is great and works with even the younger athlete, thank you so much!

"Words cannot describe how pleased I am with your recordings. After listening to them once I went out and literally played the best game of my life"

John,

Words cannot describe how pleased I am with your recordings. After listening to them once I went out and literally played the best game of my life . . . . . I subbed for a team in a "B" league who was about .500 and we played the best team in the division. We were out played and out shot 38 to 20 but I kept our team in the game until the other team scored on a power play with 40 seconds left winning 2-1. I received numerous compliments from both teams. I never felt so relaxed and confident. I always knew my mental game needed help and I have been trying little tricks to improve my play but nothing really worked consistently. The affirmations in your recording really addressed a number of the doubts I had in my game...I'm a believer.

"After just a short time with your material, he's feeling more confident, more relaxed, and is playing his best hockey of the year."

Hi John - After just a couple of weeks, we've already seen an improvement in my son's game. He's a high school sophomore who is a very talented goalie, but has struggled with consistency. After just a short time with your material, he's feeling more confident, more relaxed, and is playing his best hockey of the year. Thanks! He's also enjoying the e-mail instruction.

Thanks again.

"Coach, this is awesome, it has helped alot, much more than I thought.
Thanks for letting me use it."

John,

I have to say I think your program is very good. Being a goalie coach of high level goalies for a long time, I have coached many talented goalies. I recently loaned your program to one of my goalies who is currently being recruited by several Hockey East schools. He has been one that has never really bought into the mental aspect of the game and considered a goalie weak if they needed mental assistance. I told him I wanted him to listen to the programs as he would be the test market. I talked to him today and wanted to get his feedback. He summed it up as follows:

"Coach, this is awesome, it has helped alot, much more than I thought. Thanks for letting me use it."

A testimonial like that John is the best one you can get. I will be watching his progress over the next few weeks, but thought you might like to know it.

Thanks for a great program.

Our team won the game 8-2 and i played like dynamite in the first period and throughout the game and i felt way more focused and quick than I have ever played. I'm looking forward to you releasing your next volumes. Thank you so much!

Take care,

"I didn't think that I had used the CD's long enough to have any effect, but I will say I was unusually calm, not nervous at all and in the games I was intensely focused."

Hi John.

"I have been listening to the CD's faithfully. in fact the week I got the download, I had a tournament....my first ever. I didn't think that I had used the CD's long enough to have any effect, but I will say I was unusually calm, not nervous at all and in the games I was intensely focused. I'd like to report my team won the tourney, but that unfortunately would be a lie. In fact we won one game, lost two, however i was named MVP in two games."

Dear John, I've been trying to contact you but my computer was broken. I wanted to say that your program rocks! My dad ordered it last month and I listened to it right away. I began experiencing results within the first 2 weeks. Thanx John for creating such a program.

"he never played a game so focused"

"All year long the other parents on the team could not believe how calm Devin was under pressure."

Hi John,

It has been a while since I last emailed you about my son Devin. He has been listening to your cd for a year. I wanted you to know that Devin and his team just placed 2nd in Alberta Provincials for Atom A. Devin played an exceptional game but they lost in overtime... His team ended the year with a record of 43 wins and 5 losses. Devin is the only goalie on the team. He ended with a goals against average of 2.12.

I believe Devin had the potential to become a good goalie before he started listening to the goalies mind. He works hard in practice and in games, he has good hand eye coordination with some athletic ability. All year long the other parents on the team could not believe how calm Devin was under pressure. I think listening to the cd has given him a quiet confidence to play his best all the time.

"You say that it may take a while to re-program the thought pattern you want but it must have caught him at exactly the right moment because it seems he absorbed it like a sponge."

John, My son had his second tryout tonight for Midget AA, 2nd night of 3. He is finally getting over a bad cold that was still hindering him on the first night. He did well on the first night but not as well as he can. So I figured why not ask him to finally try listening to the cd which I purchased about 3 weeks ago. Until today he had been skeptical and wasn't interested in trying it. Today he decided to finally give it a try while doing homework on the computer. He listened to the relaxation section (probably not the best choice for afternoon) and all the positive reinforcement on track 1. This was about 3 hours before tryouts. He is usually fairly confident but sometimes a little doubt sneaks in there and messes with him. Well, tonight was completely different! He was dressed and waiting alone at the door to the ice watching the Zamboni finish cutting the ice and I could tell he was in even more of a hurry to get on than usual. He did excellent in the skating but when the drills started, he was on fire. In all the drills they did and the scrimmage, he only let in ONE GOAL and that was because the shooter didn't follow the coach's instructions and didn't do the drill properly. Wow, was I ever impressed. I've seen him play well before but this was special. On the ride home, he told me that while on the ice he kept hearing in his head the phrase: "I have confidence in my abilities as a goalie" over and over among a few of the others from the CD. You say that it may take a while to re-program the thought pattern you want but it must have caught him at exactly the right moment because it seems he absorbed it like a sponge. Now he will be listening to it a lot, I'm sure. I know a part of his performance was due to recovering from his bad cold but it was like he found a new gear or turned on a switch and played better than I've ever seen him play before.

Thanks So Much,

"Can't say enough about The Goalies Mind and Daily Affirmations"

John,

Can't say enough about "The Goalies Mind 1" and "Daily Affirmations". We won the game immediately following my 1st listening. I played goalie when I was in my teens, and early twenties. Now at 46, in a 30 and over league, I need all the tools available to keep up with these younger guys. "The Goalies Mind" was just the thing I was looking for. I can still move pretty well between the pipes, and going for high end equipment has saved the pounding on the body. It was my mental approach to the game with younger and quicker players that needed some attention. Thanks to "The Goalies Mind" and your news letters I can keep my mind focused on playing at my best.

Thanks John!!!
