10 Years in the NHL: Eric Nystrom on Habits, Pressure, and Accountability

Eric Nystrom played 10 seasons in the NHL. Nearly 600 games. And over a career that long, he learned a lot about what happens when things aren't going your way. Because even when you know you're doing the right things, the results don't always show up right away. Sometimes you have to keep going. Sometimes you have to have a short memory and move on from a mistake. And sometimes you have to be honest enough to admit that what worked for you before doesn't work anymore. That's a big part of what we get into in this conversation with Eric. We talk about the pressure of playing professional hockey, the self-doubt he felt even after making it to the NHL, and what happened when the structure and accountability he'd had his entire life suddenly disappeared. We also talk about consistency, dealing with setbacks, knowing when to stick with what you're doing, life after professional sports, and why Eric's approach to health and exercise looks a whole lot different today than it did when he was playing. It's a really good conversation about what it actually looks like to keep showing up when nobody's making you do it anymore. \* Tried every diet out there and nothing sticks?
