Prompt #2
It's not every day that the hockey crazed kids of Philadelphia get to spend a day learning from someone as successful in the sport as Kaarlo Kekkonen, who is currently approaching his 700th career point in the SHL playing with the Forge. In order to teach the local kids exactly what it is about him that has allowed him to enjoy the success that he's seen to date, he spent a day talking to them about the power of his mindset and what it allows him to do. A big believer in the "Mamba Mentality" as made famous by the late great Kobe Bryant, Kaarlo talked to the kids about how supreme confidence, a never say die attitude and a commitment to being the very best will ultimately take them further in life and in sport than anything else. It's not a message that children are always receptive to, but it's one that will go a long way toward allowing them to enjoy future success in life and hopefully it has opened their eyes to what can be achieved.
