Ask Dubey episode 28 is here, and we’re going deep into the mental side of being a pro athlete. Devan Dubnyk opens up about the real mental struggles of being an NHL goalie, how anxiety shows up in high-pressure moments, and what finally changed the way he approached the game between the ears.

Dubnyk also weighs in on Connor McDavid’s ridiculous post-Christmas heater and how the Edmonton Oilers have been playing since the break.

In this episode of Ask Dubey, Devan breaks down:

• The moment that completely changed how he approached the mental side of goaltending

• How his mindset shifted after his time in Edmonton and how his game grew because of it

• The reality of performance anxiety as a goalie and why it hits different in the crease

• Practical ways players and goalies can deal with anxiety and pressure on and off the ice

• Why mental preparation, routines, and self-talk matter just as much as physical training

• His thoughts on Connor McDavid’s major heater and the Oilers’ play after the Christmas break

If you’re a goalie, a player, or just a fan who’s curious about what’s really going on behind the mask, this one’s for you.
