#32 - Professional Sports ft. Brett Welychka: Athletic Challenges, Concussions & Concussion Pathology, Off-ice Training and More

The Fitness Experiment

We sat down with good friend Brett Welychka and discussed in detail his continued experiences with professional hockey. Brett played four seasons with the London Knights OHL Hockey Team, then moved onto Carleton University for 3 seasons. Last year, his spent time in the AHL and ECHL, and is now set to move onto new and exciting professional hockey opportunities. We talked about certain challenges along the way that all athletes can learn from, we talked about his challenges with concussions, particularly this last season. We get into a little bit of concussion pathology (what is going on in the brain after a concussion) and I (Chett) explain some of the shocking similarities to depression. We talk about developing a positive mindset for athletes, differences in training for crossfit vs. hockey and much more! Enjoy!
