Download or read book Let Them Lead written by John U. Bacon and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An uplifting leadership book about a coach who helped transform the nation’s worst high school hockey team into one of the best. Bacon’s strategy is straightforward: set high expectations, make them accountable to each other, and inspire them all to lead their team. When John U. Bacon played for the Ann Arbor Huron High School River Rats, he never scored a goal. Yet somehow, years later he found himself leading his alma mater’s downtrodden program. How bad? The team hadn’t won a game in over a year, making them the nation’s worst squad—a fact they celebrated. With almost everyone expecting more failure, Bacon made it special to play for Huron by making it hard, which inspired the players to excel. Then he defied conventional wisdom again by putting the players in charge of team discipline, goal-setting, and even decision-making – and it worked. In just three seasons the River Rats bypassed 95-percent of the nation’s teams. A true story filled with unforgettable characters, stories, and lessons that apply to organizations everywhere, Let Them Lead includes the leader’s mistakes and the reactions of the players, who have since achieved great success as leaders themselves. Let Them Lead is a fast-paced, feel-good book that leaders of all kinds can embrace to motivate their teams to work harder, work together, and take responsibility for their own success.
Download or read book Game Misconduct written by Evan F. Moore and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bracing call to arms for hockey fans, players, and coaches everywhere Those who have been lured by the the sound of skate blades slicing into fresh ice, by the incomparable speed, split-second decisions, and everything-or-nothing attitude of the game know that hockey can seem like its own world. It's all-consuming and exhilarating, boasting its own language and complex morality code. Yet in another light, that tight community can turn insular; the values of teamwork and humility can manifest as collective silence in the face of abuse and discrimination, issues which have been brought to the forefront of the sport as many share their stories for the first time. In Game Misconduct, reporters Evan Moore and Jashvina Shah reveal hockey's toxic undercurrent which has permeated the sport throughout the junior, college, and professional levels. They address the topic with a level of passion that comes from being rabid hockey fans themselves, and from experiencing its exclusivity first-hand. With a sensitive yet incisive approach, this necessary book lays bare the issues of racism, homophobia, xenophobia, bullying, sexism, and violence on and off the ice. Readers will learn about notable players and activists fighting for transformation as well as those beyond the spotlight who are nonetheless deeply affected by hockey's culture of inaction.Both a reckoning and a roadmap, Game Misconduct is an essential read for modern hockey fans, showing the truth of the sport's past and present while offering the tools to fight for a better future.

Read how his players had a once in a lifetime experience while playing a sport that they loved.

Year after year each one of his teams had a one of a kind distinction that became their identity and definition and he fondly remembers each team that way. And read how Coach Patty took the torch that was passed down to him by his coach, and passed it down to his players, who have since grown up and as young adults, are now coaching the sport of ice hockey and teaching children how to play the game, just like their coach did for them, and the circle of his hockey life was completed. Understand why he will always be Forever their Coach. A heart warming, feel good, must read novel of triumph over tragedy, jubilation in happy times and comfort during the sad.

Book Synopsis If I Ever Make it Back by : Francois Lemay
Download or read book If I Ever Make it Back written by Francois Lemay and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've always been fascinated by North Korea and always knew that if I had the opportunity to visit some day, I'd be all over it. Little did I know that many years later, I'd be standing at my hotel window in the border town of Dandong, China, staring at the darkness that laid across the Yalu River. I was a stone throw away from the most mysterious and unpredictable country on the planet: North Korea. "They have hockey in North Korea?" many asked. They sure do. The North Koreans have a saying: "The first time you visit North Korea, you are a stranger. The second time, you are a friend. The third time, you're family." Little did I think that two weeks after setting foot in the DPRK for the first time, I'd be returning home leaving behind a group of hockey players, men and women, that I already considered as friends, people that I dearly care for, people that I've shed tears over. Here are some of my stories about spending time with local Koreans, the real people, the forgotten ones. This is about the North Korea no one talks about and its resilient, humble, shy and down to earth athletes who love and play the same game as you and me, but in some of the most difficult conditions imaginable. This is about a group of young men and women who deserve your compassion because just like you and I, they have friends, families and want to live their lives to the fullest. Just like you and I, they have dreams, goals, and are always looking to improve their lives. But unlike us, the entire world seems against them. They furiously play a game that is so pure and raw at the same time, without any foreign influence. They play a game that fascinates me, a game that makes me want to do more. With barely any knowledge of the modern game, what the North Koreans lack in knowledge and abilities, they try to make up with discipline and heart. This is about the North Korea you never knew existed, and about its people who make you appreciate your way of life so much more than you ever have. It's true, no one walks from the DPRK unchanged.

Book Synopsis Coaching Creative Hockey by : Graeme Smith
Download or read book Coaching Creative Hockey written by Graeme Smith and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaching is like baking a cake.You usually need a recipe.BUT you still have to supply the ingredients.THEN mix them together in the right order.AND do the actual cooking.The ingredients you need to supply are:Your time.Some money.How your cake will turn out depends on your supply of the ingredients.It also depends on how you do the cooking.This is the sequence in which you actually do things.How your cake turns out depends on the manner of your cooking.It will also depend on your stove.Your energy, determination, persistence and single minded focus.It also depends on the correct temperature of your stove.You should end up with a solution to your coaching problem.It is unlikely to be identical to any other.The differences will be own input.That's how it should be.BUT if you do not have the required ingredientsAnd a suitable stoveYou should not attempt to cook.Wayne Gretsky - a creative hockey player.Recently I saw an interview on Australian TV with Wayne Gretsky. The Winter Olympics were on in Canada at the time. I had heard of him before. He seemed a pleasant person who was enthusiastic about ice hockey. He wasn't as big as I thought he might have been. I imagined ice hockey players as being something like grid-iron players.Except not often of African origin. Gretsky didn't fit the image at all.Canadian friends told me he was one of the smallest players. But he was a master despite his size.He holds more records than any other player in ice hockey history. He was also amazing to watch. He survived by quickness and intelligence.He also had supernatural peripheral vision.In addition he understood the dynamics of the game so well.He generally knew where the puck and the other players were going.Before they went. So he often seemed to be skating around pylons.As the mesmerised opposition remained stationary.He controlled the play so well.That the area behind the opposition's net was called 'Gretsky's office'. He used to get the puck behind the net and essentially stop the play.Then pass to the player who was open and in it went. He was so quick.The opposition didn't want to chase him behind their own net.For fear of getting 'burned' which often happened anyway.There's brutality in ice hockey so most players are big and strong. The finesse is there but overshadowed by the hitting (body checking). There is much less now than there used to be.But the injuries are getting more severe. That's because those big players are moving faster and thus hit harder! Gretsky had a couple of enforcers though.They made mincemeat out of anyone who went near him.Europeans play with more attention to finesse on a larger rink. But that was the beauty of Gretsky. He was too small to hit or be hit in most cases So he concentrated on the other skills.Wayne Gretsky turned his weakness (size) into a major advantage. You can do that too if you focus on what you can do.Rather than on what you can't. Work on your strengths.You'll not just get up when knocked down.You'll also improve what you do and get knocked down less often. Maybe like Gretsky you'll get so good you aren't knocked down at all!The start stops most people.Back in my art student days I learnt how to deal with this problem.I was in the third year of a four-year art course.One memorable evening I arrived for class and was the only one there!I wasn't happy but decided not to waste my time.I looked at my blank canvas and didn't know what to do.Yes the start certainly had me stopped.Have you had this feeling?I still didn't know what to do.I mixed Indian red with turps.Because the paint was runny, I flicked some onto the canvas.I splashed on more.Still further splashes followed the first ones.It was a bit like an Indian red "Jackson Pollock‟.I decided to join up the dots.I was pleased with the result which I had not anticipated before
