Sandra Abstreiter shares how film study, better fueling, and smarter gear choices helped her rise to Germany’s starting job and a PWHL roster. We swap stories from the PWHL takeover tour, dig into mindset for starters and backups, and unpack how small gains stack into big jumps.

• jumping from skater to goalie at 16 and building skills fast through deliberate video study
• why comfort-driven gear choices accelerate confidence and flow on the ice
• practical fueling: carbs pre-ice, protein and creatine for recovery, electrolytes for heavy days
• monitoring training load with simple metrics to spot underfueling
• PWHL takeover tour energy and what fan momentum means for women’s hockey
• agency and brand support that removes friction and lets athletes focus on execution
• starter versus backup mindset: same game, same craft, reduced pressure
• facing elite shooters to raise standards and sharpen reads
• protecting identity beyond sport to sustain joy and resilience
• closing advice: don’t dream small dreams

We sit down with ultra runner Dave Proctor to unpack how he ran across Canada, what attention and meditation did for his performance, and why the finish line mattered less than the steps that got him there. The talk moves from ego and validation to stillness, doubt, and the craft of stacking habits.

• Canadian pride and sport as pure attention
• Doing vs being and running across Canada
• Outrunning ego and the Second Mountain idea
• Meditation as training for focus and composure
• Pain vs discomfort and practical reframing
• COVID, a broken foot, and choosing acceptance
• Doubters as mirrors and compassionate resolve
• Post-record stillness, writing, and new identities
• Baselines for runners and habit stacking
• Influences from Terry Fox to Al Howie

Cal Dorohoy, founder of Fairway Co and director of Innovation for VaynerSports, joins Dave to discuss the ambitious Fairway Long Drive Tour across Canada and the intersection of athletics and entrepreneurship.

• Cal created Fairway Lager after identifying the untapped opportunity to own the "social side of golf"
• The beer contains a protease enzyme cutting 90% of gluten, making it less filling for extended days on the course
• The Long Drive Tour spans from Tofino, BC to Cabot Nova Scotia over 18 days
• Playing 18 rounds with over 50 athletes, creators, and entrepreneurs showcases Canadian talent
• Cal transitioned from soccer to business after an injury, finding that his competitive athletic mindset transferred directly
• Athletes make excellent entrepreneurs because they understand teamwork, competition, and resilience
• Both professional athletics and entrepreneurship require sacrifice and dedication behind the glamorized social media presence
• The vision includes building communities in each city for future tours, connecting people through golf
• Law of attraction and clear goal-setting have been crucial to Cal's success in business
• Sports that allow multi-generational play and moderate drinking (golf, pickleball, curling) create unique social connections
