Derek Keenan

The greater the man, the shorter the bio. 

Derek Keenan is the GOAT.

The winningest coach in National Lacrosse League (NLL) history, he's coached the most games and won more championships than anyone else in the league. He's been a part of nine championships: two as a player in Buffalo, four as an assistant coach in Toronto, and three as head coach with the Rush. He also won two Minto Cups as head coach with Whitby. His accolades include multiple Les Bartley Awards for Coach of the Year and multiple GM of the Year awards. 

He's built expansion teams, dynasties, and winners. And he's still at it! He tried to retire twice but was drawn back to the game in both 2022 and 2024.

 He's the greatest, and I hope you'll understand why in this episode. We'll discuss his biggest challenges, toughest decisions, and the most important part of the mental game. He's thoughtful, clear in his messaging, caring, and smart.

Derek Keenan is the co-head coach and general manager of the Saskatchewan Rush of the National Lacrosse League.
