My guest, former NHL hockey coach, Mike Keenan, spent close to 5 decades coaching hockey, with over 25 of those years coaching in the National Hockey League.
Former NHL hockey coach and hockey analyst, Gary Green, who is featured in Episode 5, mentioned that Mike was the most intuitive coach when it came to the game of hockey, and the proof is in the statistics, notching a huge number of championships in his coaching career.
It was clear that he was able to leverage his intuitive ability when coaching that was responsible for his success.
