info_outlineWhat actually creates confidence? Not hype. Not motivation. Not mindset quotes. In this episode of Health Coach Radio, Erin Power sits down with Jeff LoVecchio, former professional hockey player, founder of Give More Training (GMT) and Give More Advising (GMA), and co-host of the Hockey Think Tank podcast (2M+ downloads).
Jeff has trained more than 3,500 youth athletes across five locations and works with elite performers at every level. But this conversation goes far beyond hockey. This is a grounded, practical discussion about how confidence is earned through daily action, why resilience is a skill you train, how overthinking keeps people stuck, and why the unglamorous fundamentals are what actually produce results in sport, health, business, and life.
If you coach humans who struggle with consistency, self-trust, or follow-through, this episode delivers powerful insight you can apply immediately.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
Confidence is built through proof, not encouragement. Jeff shares how a major injury at 17 forced him into weight training and how measurable progress created unshakable confidence. Not because someone believed in him, but because his actions gave him evidence.
Resilience is trained, not inherited. From getting cut at age 12 to navigating 14 concussions, Jeff explains the mindset shift most people miss: you cannot control what happens, but you always control your response.
Why overthinking kills momentum: Fixating on long-term outcomes without acting on the next step leads to fear and paralysis. Jeff’s “rocking chair” metaphor perfectly captures why movement without action gets people nowhere.
The hidden cost of early specialization: Youth athletes may look skilled early, but many lack basic movement capacity and adaptability. Jeff explains why multi-sport exposure builds better athletes and more resilient humans.
The fundamentals win every time. Warm-ups, breathing, recovery, and consistency may be boring, but they are non-negotiable. The people who respect the process are the ones who get results.
Self-talk shapes behavior. Your internal narrative drives daily decisions. Strengthen identity and self-trust, and actions naturally align. This insight maps directly to behavior-change coaching and habit formation.
