Episode 54 - "I'm just here to help build strong healthy human beings!" ... "The Goalie Therapist"
Dusty Imoo was once ranked as the number one ice hockey goalie prospect in the world. His statistics were beyond incredible .., and then "life happened". Dusty began realizing the pressures that were being placed upon him at an age where no-one knew how to help support and guide those having to deal with the pressures of being an elite athlete. Over time, these various forms of pressure became greater than that which a young athlete, living on own, in foreign environment should have to handle at a young age (15-18 years of age).As an athlete, Dusty has put together a professional career in Japan that is beyond impressive. HIs elevation into that of becoming a professional goalie coach has been even more impressive - as he has trained professionals in the most elite leagues in the world (ie., NHL, KHL, AHL, and WHL). But it is not his technical teachings that goalies have been most drawn to him for - it's his ability to help create an inner calm within those he works with that has made him so very sought-after. So much so, that the list of elite professionals whom he has worked with is both long and impressive.Today, Dusty works with not only goalies but those within a wide variety of sports as well as those within the world of business (ie., corp executives, directors ...). But a really cool stat that Dusty Imoo has is equal to that of the Legendary play - Gordie Howe ... Dusty was able to backup for his son Jonah Imoo in a professional game. Making this the first and only Father-Son goaltending combination to appear in a progressional ice hockey game.Dusty Imoo - Contact information:www.thegoalietherapist.com
