I get a lot of business inspiration from sports stories AND I have a particular fondness for the 1980 US Olympic hockey team. As a 7 year old child who actually went to Lake Placid and viewed two events (one of which was a hockey game but not a US game) I never get tired of watching “Miracle” or learning about the team and the coaches. I found this audio book to be pleasant to listen to. It was a fantastic mix of practical advice, tough love, and inspiring stories. I will be getting a written copy to reference in the future.

This guy was a keynote speaker at an event I went to last year and he gave out copies of his book. He was a member of the US Olympic hockey team who beat Russia against all odds in 1980. A good speaker and a good book of teamwork goals in business settings.

Written comprehensibly and entertainingly. The practical examples of the "miracle on ice" are inspiring and can be transferred very well into the business world.
