In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we revisit the leadership lessons from NHL great T.J. Oshie, who retired in June 2025 after 16 seasons with the Washington Capitals.

Oshie’s farewell wasn’t just about championships, highlights, or accolades. It was about one core principle he carried throughout his career — a laminated quote from his youth: “Today I will give all I have, for this moment may never come again.” For Oshie, effort, presence, and heart were the only things fully in his control.

These aren’t just lessons for hockey. They’re reminders for all of us as leaders and high performers: to embrace transitions with gratitude, to give our best even on the uninspiring days, and to show up fully — so that when a chapter closes, we leave with clarity and peace, knowing we gave everything we had.
