Sacked Coach: Life... football... death

Very Good

Alves took the embattled Saints to their first grand final appearance in 6 years. The allowing year his sacking stunned the Australian sporting public and, since then, the Saints have struggled to win.
Understandably devastated, Stan let go of intense feelings of anger and bitterness, and turned adversity into triumph. Today, he is one of the most sought after motivational speakers in the country and his story has much o offer, helping us all to find deeper meaning and purpose in our daily lives.
As a player, Stan had been coached by two of the greatest names in ,Cory of Australian football, Norm Smith on Barassi. But his story is much more than a football story. He came, as Peter Keenan said, from "struggle town" and has never forgotten his origins. Like many of us, Stan has done it tough, and he went to hell and back following the tragic death of his 13 year-old son, Matthew.
