From unlucky person to star goalkeeper: Justus Roth's impressive ice hockey journey
The ice hockey world always enjoys meeting up with podcasters. The Allgäuer Zeitung's podcast "Stockcheck" is currently shedding light on the exciting journey of Justus Roth, the young goalkeeper of ECDC Memmingen, in episode 63. Moderated by Daniel Halder and Manuel Weis, the podcast explores the challenges and successes of the 20-year-old athlete, who was in a difficult phase without a club after the Moskitos Essen filed for bankruptcy and he also had to endure a ruptured appendix. But for Roth, challenging times are not the end, but rather the beginning of a new, promising phase in his career.
ECDC Memmingen hired Roth as a replacement goalkeeper after Michael Paterson-Jones was injured. Within a short time, Roth not only fought for the place in goal, but also became a top performer in the Oberliga South leaders. In the podcast, Roth talks about his dreams and dealing with his teammates Bastian Flott-Kucis and Louis Eisenhut. Although he describes himself as “rather introverted,” Roth proves to be a party person on the ice. His thoughts on the team and the goals for the season are concise: The focus is on current events and not on the end of the season.
Mental training in ice hockey
Roth's career doesn't stop in the physical realm. An insight into the mental component of high-class ice hockey is provided by the book “Mental Training in Ice Hockey”, which deals with the crucial role of the psyche in sport. Important factors that are addressed here are self-perception, fear of failure and dealing with disappointments. These psychological elements are crucial to overcoming obstacles and optimizing performance. The book offers concrete forms of training to improve the mental strength of coaches and players. Topics include visualization techniques, relaxation training and team building, which is essential for athletes to be able to survive even in critical situations.
The combination of technical ability and mental strength is essential in ice hockey. Roth, who has settled in in Memmingen and finally found his place as a goalkeeper, shows how important it is to be not only physically but also mentally fit.
As is sometimes the case in life, everything has its price. Roth reflects on his challenges and successes, shows resilience and talks about his impressions of the city of Memmingen. The firm belief that the focus should be on the team and current goals is reflected in his positive attitude, which can be felt both in the dressing rooms and on the ice.
Follow the development of Justus Roth and the ECDC Memmingen as the season progresses. The podcast makes it clear that the sport of ice hockey is more than just a game; it is the combination of team spirit, mental strength and personal growth.
