Synopsis

The legendary Czech ice hockey player Jaromír Jágr, unique personality, behind whose success there is not only talent but also long term systematic work, deep and versatile intuition, a feeling for the moment and for the needs of one’s own body, and spiritual transcendence. Jaromír has achieved his dream of becoming the best hockey player in the world. But was it completely fulfilling? Christopher of Prague, the Metropolitan of the Czech Lands and Slovakia discusses Jágr’s orthodox faith while his former personal trainer Marián Jelínek talks about his training methods. The work also includes statements by his fellow players from the Philadelphia Flyers and unknown moments from his life immediately before the start of his involvement with the Kladno Knights team.
