John Haley was drafted during High School by the Edmonton Oilers in 1985. He played Division I Hockey at R.P.I., and later finished his college career at UMass Boston. It was while playing at R.P.I. that he first struggled with confidence and anxiety due to negative patterns and negative self-talk. He was able to regain his confidence and clear out many of the negative patterns after he transferred to UMass Boston. He went to the Edmonton Oilers Training Camp in 1989 and played for The Erie Panthers and The Richmond Renegades of the ECHL. He has been coaching goalies in camps, skills clinics, as well as one on one since retiring from Hockey in 1991.

John constantly dealt with his own mental barriers that held him back from reaching his full potential He understood that it was his mind, and not his physical game that was holding him back, but he had no idea how he could change any of it. Nothing he tried seemed to make any significant difference, and he could not find any system that worked. For this reason, he started studying sports psychology and more specifically, the psychology of goaltending, 14 years ago. John holds a BA in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts has studied every reputable peak performance related course and system that he could get his hands on.

John has taken his own lifetime experience as a goaltender, and combined it with his extensive psychology and peak performance education to perfect a simple, yet powerful system that any goalie can easily implement on a consistent basis. John is working on additional Goalie Mental Training programs that will be available in the near future.
