Do You Believe In Miracles?

Congratulations to the 2010 US Olympic Hockey Team on their 5-3 victory over the Canadian team. This allows the team to advance to the quarterfinals. Just one day shy of the 30th anniversary of the historic USA win over the Soviet team in 1980, some are calling this win a second Miracle On Ice.

Today marks the 30the anniversary of the original Miracle On Ice. This has always been my number one favorite sports moment.

In the book Finish Strong, (published by Simple Truths) the author Dan Green recounts the events that led to the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team's gold medal. The story demonstrates the winning effects of combining strong leadership with a strong team. And, of course, how "belief" contributes to one's ability to Finish Strong.

As I've suggested earlier, I would like to recommend that businesses hold a special session with their team and watch the movie version of this story as an inspiration on how the business can Finish Strong.
