#004 Torn ACL Gold Medal Game: ft Chris Driedger
Manage episode 477712515 series 3650119
Chris Driedger was drafted into the NHL at 18. But it took seven years to play a game. He fought through injuries, setbacks, and being overlooked by the very system that once believed in him.
In this raw and honest episode of Help Me See, Chris opens up about the moment his career nearly flatlined—and what he did to turn it around. From reinventing his approach to training, to mentally resetting after failure, to co-producing a documentary during his ACL recovery, Chris shows us what it really means to keep moving forward.
This is an episode about choosing belief in the face of uncertainty. It’s about reinventing your identity, doing the hard internal work, and deciding that your story isn’t over.
What you’ll take away from this episode:
- The 5 R’s Chris uses to reset after failure or a goal against
- How to break free from passive career momentum and take ownership
- A mindset for reinvention, especially when the doors feel closed
- The power of staying grounded, even when you're on the outside looking in
- What it means to fight for the dream again after it slipped away once
