Engaging in a conversation focused on the tenets of leadership, generational change, and more, legendary NHL Stanley Cup champion coach Mike Keenan is this week’s guest on the TALKERS MEDIA YouTube channel program, “Up Close Far Out with Michael Harrison” and the award-winning PodcastOne series, “The Michael Harrison Interview.” Keenan coached big time teams in the Soviet Union, Russia, Canada, China, the U.S. and more for over five decades! What does it take to be a leader in the competitive and often cutthroat world of major league professional sports? How have the generations of young athletes changed over this stretch of time? What is the state of sportsmanship in today’s culture? What is it like dealing with the media from a professional sports perspective? How is sports culture different around the world? How is gambling impacting sports? Is hockey enjoying healthy growth as both a sport and a business? These questions and more are tackled in an informative and universally interesting conversation between Harrison and Keenan. Keenan, considered one of hockey’s most controversial and intriguing figures, has just released an autobiography titled Iron Mike: My Life Behind the Bench (Randon House Canada, 2024).
