Episode 360 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features the return of former NHL goalie and NCAA goalie coach Mike Condon, who went back to school to get his Masters Degree studying psychology and is now combining his education and real-world experience to help other goalies manage their mindset.

In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Condon shares stories, examples and insights into his ongoing quest to help goalies right up to pro better manage their mental game, starting with a great explanation of what exactly that is, and why defining it matters. Condon, who was recently at the Montreal Canadiens development camp as a coach, talks about self talk, the importance of daily deliberate detachment, fear and the rise in concerns over hockey mortality for young goalies facing a fast-shifting junior and college environment. All that, plus advice for coaches on managing goalie personalities, in a can't miss, hour-long interview.
