THE EDITOR - ROBERT KIRWAN
An
Excellent Life Is Nothing More Than The Sum Of Many Excellent
Moments
The
magnificence of any ‘whole’ can never be greater than the
magnificence of any singular detail. Perhaps this is the true secret
of life. To have an excellent life, you must strive for an excellent
year. Within that year, you must strive for an excellent month.
Within that month, you must strive for an excellent day. Within the
day, strive for an excellent hour. For

THE WORLD OF HOCKEY
Physical
Size or Skill? When It Comes Time To Choose, Who Will The Coach
Select?
One year, after
losing nine games in a row to begin the season, I replaced
three smaller, skilled players with three larger, unskilled,
physical players. My players never again felt the personal
humiliation they had felt during the first nine games of the season.
In fact, we won every single one of our remaining games. It was the
most remarkable turn-around anyone had ever seen. By replacing three
smaller skilled hockey players with three big "goons" ,
and by changing to a grinding, bashing, intimidation system, we went
from being the laughing stock of the league to being league
champions. For
