To celebrate our announcement of
TCS Live, our return to an
in-person hockey coaches conference taking place June 15-17 at the
University of Michigan, we're taking a look back one of our
favourite presentations from our 2012 Hockey Coaches
Conference.
Mike Keenan is a man who truly needs no
introduction. The Stanley Cup,
Calder Cup and Canada
Cup champion is one of the most iconic figures in hockey.
While it’s fair to say that a lot of Iron Mike’s methods wouldn’t
fly today, what stood out most during his talk on "Having a Sense
of Mission" was his ability to own the room. He clearly has that
"it" factor that you can't teach and every great leader has.
During the talk, he shares stories from his
personal coaching journey and stresses the importance of creating
expectations for your team and reinforcing those expectations on a
daily basis.
