The book borrows its title from the hit Tina Turner song and delivers rare insights of success, straight from the hearts and minds of Stanley Cup winning coaches. It also features NHL and Olympic coaches. Recognised as the greatest coaches in the game, these 'elite 12' openly discuss in their own words strategies that have made them successful. Coaching wisdom, as never before published, flows from the pages of this remarkable book. Everyone is a coach; no matter if it's raising children, coaching a youth sports team, being the project team leader at work, teaching students in a classroom, or managing employees in a corporation. Great coaches have to be able to provide direction and vision, stay on a firm path while also recognising when change is needed, motivate, maximise the potential of their people, and deal with adversity. As seen here, the coaches' techniques, strategies, and personalities are varied, but deep down they all have that special something that allows them to be champions. These world-renowned hockey visionaries take readers into the players' dressing rooms and onto the ice and explain what it takes to be a champion at hockey. But, as readers will see, these mastered principles of coaching success are also relevant 'off ice', so that people in all walks of life, from managers to moms, can win their own Stanley Cups. The 12 coaches in "Simply the Best" have spent a lifetime in the pursuit of understanding how to win. Now, so will you!
