In today's game, size is not a limiting factor like it once was. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, with most people identifying and working to improve that weak area in their game.  But what if your weakness is something you can't control, like your height?  Your mindset becomes the most important part of your game.

Dean McAmmond was listed with the Prince Albert Raiders as a 13 year old, and after playing 4 years in the WHL he was drafted in the first round, 22nd overall, by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1991 NHL draft. He played 996 games in his professional career as what (back then) would be considered a smaller player, and talks about how the game has changed since he played, and important areas of the game a smaller player needs to focus on.

Dean and Jason discuss the hockey term known as having a strong "engine" and the importance of not stifling the "fighter" that is naturally within each male.

Dean and Jason talk about how a person's faith gives them a feeling of calmness and reassurance through difficult times, though Dean makes clear "God is not a Genie in a bottle" to give you a competitive advantage.
