EP14: There is no "I" in TEAM - feat. Petri Matikainen, the Finnish Championship Winning Coach

74 WANTS MORE - by Dieter Kalt

In this episode I had the privilege to talk with Petri Matikainen, an Finnish Ice-hockey Coach. Petri has seen the world already during his active playing career, collecting a couple of Championship Trophies, including a Gold-Medal with the Finnish U20 Junior National-Team at the World Championships. Finnland, Canada, Germany and Austria can be found on his path, combining quite a few cultural differences and experiences.

He took a break from hockey after finishing his career at the age of 32, but could not resist coming back to hockey rinks and was drawn into coaching with all his heart and passion.

For many people, passion and temperament might not be the first terms coming into one's mind, if you think about the cool and reserved demeanour usually shown by people from Scandinavia.

Petri is NOT like that! At least regarding coaching and hockey, his temperament and sometimes overflowing passion are something that make him spezial, as you will find out when listening to our conversation.

What goes on in the mind of an Championship Winning Coach? Who were his influencers and how did he develop his coaching skills and his beliefs?

Who is the man behind the mask?

We are about to find out!
