Season 256
What good is hard work if you lose the joy that got you started? Former pro goalie Paul Cohen knows that hustle alone isn't enough to truly succeed — in sports, business, or life.
In this episode, he shares what his experience on the ice, in corporate, and as a coach taught him about leading a team and building a culture of trust. We also dive into how his coaching philosophy has changed, his "work hard but have fun" motto, and what parents need to know about helping their kids reach the next level in hockey.
