EPISODE 12 : "MAD MAX" Martin | Bowling Green University | Former NAHL MVP

Max Martin’s journey is proof that belief, grit, and patience can carry you further than talent alone. From being overlooked to becoming the NAHL’s Leading Scorer and Top Player, Max carved his own path — one built on quiet determination, unwavering work ethic, and a deep belief in his potential.

Now playing Division I hockey at Bowling Green University, Max reflects on the long road that brought him here — the setbacks, the doubts, the moments most people didn’t see — and how every challenge helped shape the player and person he is today.

This episode is a humble, inspiring reminder that you don’t have to be the favorite to become the best — you just have to keep showing up, trusting the process, and betting on yourself.
