To me Vancouver’s six wins count – as long as they count in the heads of the players.
This is how a winning attitude is developed.
I had talked to Larry Robinson and Dwayne Sutter, and included my interviews with them in earlier posts.
Now, I would like to include more information – on how to develop a culture of winning.
To start with: The Atlanta Braves had won 14 straight titles – largely through their concept of winning.
Below, are the five main points that Atlanta’s manager listed – in The Wall Street Journal – on how to transform a culture of losing.
There’s also some great information on – the cultures of winning and losing – in basketball.
Steve Aschburner, from the Minneapolis Star Tribune, discussed this topic with the Timber Wolves’ new coach, Randy Wittman.
Yes, the six games will count, if Vancouver’s leadership – both on and off the ice – creates a concept of winning that uses these wins as a foundation for the 2008-09 season.
