When John U. Bacon played for the Ann Arbor Huron High School River Rats, he never scored a goal. Yet somehow, years later he found himself leading his alma materās downtrodden program. How bad? The team hadnāt won a game in over a year, making them the nationās worst squadāa fact they celebrated. With almost everyone expecting more failure, Bacon made it special to play for Huron by making it hard, which inspired the players to excel. Then he defied conventional wisdom again by putting the players in charge of team discipline, goal-setting, and even decision-making ā and it worked. In just three seasons the River Rats bypassed 95-percent of the nationās teams.
