Ask yourself: are you a “giver” or a “getter” on your team and in your relationship with your sport?

Up until the time @johnnyoduya was 32, you could’ve called him a “loser” based on the results.

Now he is a two-time Stanley Cup Champion…

My Dad put skates on my feet at 3 years old and the rest was history.

From early Saturday mornings watching cartoons as my dad dressed me for learn-to-skate, to living out my dream of playing college hockey at @uvmmhockey. I wouldn’t change any of it.

It was the ride of a lifetime and I’m so grateful for every moment and relationship along the way.

All of it…the wins & losses, the joy & disappointment, the achievement & failure, the triumphs & heartbreaks, the deep lifelong relationships & connections, and the shared memories that I have with every teammate I ever played with… all of it shaped me into who I am today. And for that, I’m eternally grateful.

The beauty of sports (& life) is that the more you give to it , the more it gives back to you.

And if you can see the lessons in every experience, the opportunity instead of the adversity, the feedback instead of the failure… sports can you help teach you who the f*ck you are.

But having patience is key, because sometimes wisdom takes time to surface. And if we stick with it, we can trust that it always will.

My goal now is to help athletes integrate those lessons along the way, rather than years later, or worse, never.

That’s why we started HAUS. Because this life is an incredible opportunity to know ourselves deeper, to experience the full spectrum of what it means to be human.

And sports is one of the most beautiful ways to do exactly that.

You are not alone. And we’re here to help if you need us.

Much love,
