  "description": "Saku Tuominen — entrepreneur, non-fiction author and restaurateur — discusses his sixteenth book, an ice hockey book written with Liiga communications director Tuomas Nyholm whose subtitle insists it is not one. Its central claim is that the core of a successful coach's success is not winning but trust: anyone can win momentarily, but winning year after year requires a genuine climate of trust across the whole organisation. The tactical section is unusually concrete, explaining the delayed breakout, the neutral-zone trap and pressure forechecking, and describing Jukka Jalonen's twelve-minute playbook, whose core can be covered in three minutes and which every coach in the world knows and still struggles to play against. Tuominen argues that system play is gaining on star power across the 2023 playoffs, that Tampere's centrally located Nokia Arena confers a compounding competitive advantage for five or six years, and that Tappara may be more vulnerable next season than it has been in years as a Swedish coach's freer culture meets a decade-old Finnish system. The second half covers the restaurant app World of Mouth, whose rule is that no expert may recommend their own restaurant, its position between an over-mainstream TripAdvisor and a static Michelin, and Tuominen's distinction between the artificial three-star cooking that is dying and the profitable kind that is not. The last section is HundrED, the education non-profit he chairs, and his observation that education is an exceptionally siloed field where, unlike Netflix or Wolt, hardly any good idea spreads from one country to another.",
