Check out these three highlights:

1. Natasha speaks to the common issues she sees in hockey players, both related to injuries and the culture around these injuries.

"If we're talking about the issues in culture and hockey culture, my biggest thing is that I think players think they have to live with these issues. I can't tell you how many young NHL players in their prime come to me and tell me they can't get out of bed in the morning because they can't move or it's their pain and they just have to roll around for a bit and then go straight to practice."

2. Natasha explains how she creates trust and is able to build buy-in with the players she works with. 

"Consistency is huge, which goes with time and schedule because like any form of training, you need consistency to see a difference." 

3. Natasha shares the importance of the mental side of the recovery process and goes over some tools others can use.
