In this episode, host Phil Osaer (Director of Athlete Development at Suburban Sports Group and former NHL scout) sits down with Dillon Kelley, Director of Sports Performance at the Athlete Lab, powered by 2SP Sports Performance. He is also a former professional goaltender, mobility specialist, and founder of DK Mobility.

From starting to play goalie as a freshman in high school to becoming the first goalie to climb from the lowest level of professional hockey (FPHL) to the American Hockey League (AHL), Dillon’s journey is a powerful case study in resilience, adaptability, and elite habit-building. A multi-sport athlete at Adrian College with a degree in Exercise Science, Dillon shares how setbacks, humility, and relentless off-season work shaped both his playing career and his transition into coaching and athlete development.

Together, they dive into:
• Dillon’s early days in sports and the impact of being a multi-sport athlete
• His path through junior, NCAA Division III hockey at Adrian College, and the professional ranks
• Lessons learned from playing and staying prepared
• Building confidence, consistency, and mental toughness over time
• The creation of DK Mobility and why functional movement matters
• How elite habits are built in the margins on and off the ice
• Connecting authentically with athletes and meeting them where they are

Dillon’s story is a reminder that development isn’t linear and that belief, preparation, and daily habits can change the trajectory of a career. Whether you’re an athlete grinding for the next opportunity, a coach developing talent, or a parent supporting the journey, this episode offers real perspective on what it takes to keep going.
