TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
PAT QUINN
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who represents the trend that athletes who make it to the big leagues on the strength of their intensity and work ethic, as opposed to supernatural innate talents, often go on to become great coaches.
Pat Quinn was very respected and admirable defensive defenseman during his playing days in the NHL. Not blessed with incredible hands or scorig prowess, he contributed nightly by working hard, playing tough and being positionally sound.
His leadership and strong play saw him become captain of the Atlanta Flames near the end of his playing career, which spanned 9 seasons and 606 games.
When his playing days were over, Quinn took his training ethic and the knowledge of the game he had acquired through practice and study, and converted them into one of the greatest coaching careers the NHL has ever seen.
Quinn has twice won the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year (1980 and 1992) and has accumulated (before the start of this season) 657 wins in 1,318 games, making him one of the all-time leaders in both categories.
His overall record of 657-481-154-26 stands as one of the greatest coaching achievements in hockey history, and it is a legacy to which he is currently adding as the head coach of the Edmonton Oilers.
