Pressure doesn’t have to define your performance or your worth. On this episode of All Facts Podcast, registered social worker and sports mental coach Ezra Branderhorst explains how athletes can handle pressure, rebuild confidence, and reset when the game gets tough.

From the yips and performance anxiety to routines that help athletes refocus, Ezra shares why confidence isn’t about being perfect. It’s knowing you can adapt and handle whatever happens next. He also explores the role of self-talk, expectations, practice, and a supportive environment and why these lessons apply just as much to everyday life as they do to sports.

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, parent, or simply someone facing pressure, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on competing hard without tying your identity to the result.

Welcome back to another episode of the All Facts Podcast led by Haris Vekar!

The NHL season is ALMOST here, and this preview episode lays out the players, teams, and trophy races that could define the year. If you want to know who is ready to break out, which contenders are being underestimated, and where the biggest surprises might come from, this is the conversation to hear before opening night.

Host Haris Vekar and Guest William St. Louis break down the upcoming season with sharp predictions on the Calder, Norris, Selke, Ted Lindsay, Hart, Rocket Richard, Vezina, and the President's Trophy race. From Macklin Celebrini, Porter Martone, and Ivar Stenberg to Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, Nick Suzuki, Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, and Andrei Vasilevskiy, they weigh the stars, the dark horses, and the names that could take the next step.

You'll discover why opportunity matters as much as talent in a rookie race, why some defensemen are still being undervalued despite elite point totals, and why the league's best two-way forwards keep getting overlooked in award voting. We also dig into the teams most likely to win their divisions, with especially close attention on the Atlantic and Metro races, where health, depth, and goaltending could flip the standings.

The episode then shifts into breakout candidates for nearly every team, and at the center of it all is the question every hockey fan wants answered: which stars will hold their level, which prospects will force their way into the spotlight, and which teams are ready to turn preseason buzz into real results? Perfect for fans who want a fast, opinionated, and highly watchable NHL season preview before the first puck drops.
