toddler’s age would optimize development the family moved to a house in Velke Mezirici he was helping his first son dangle from bars he attached to the basement walls and go down a slide in hopes of activating the infant’s hand-eye coordination He was starting the first leg of a parenting experiment “He basically planned it,” Zacha says of his path the kind of American fastback he never saw in Czechia.  Zacha was of the age when the promise of a Hot Wheels car made sprints worthwhile Zacha cannot remember the details of the challenge But he recalls his father promising him the Chevy if he completed a 400-meter dash under a certain time It took Zacha months of work before the car was his Zacha’s father was convinced of his experiment’s virtue A 5-year-old Zacha whacked balls at the

other kids.  his son participated in his first tournament with 8- and 9-year-olds Pavel drove his son to school and hockey in Brno They practiced English during their commutes He solicited sponsors to fund his 6-year-old boy’s travel to hockey tournaments in France and Switzerland He negotiated with officials from TK Prostejov a top Czech tennis academy pursuing his son “The philosophy I always

impossible to play Wimbledon and the Stanley Cup at the same time.” he stopped playing tennis to pursue hockey Zacha would play for Bili Tygri Liberec with 1995-born players His father had convinced the club to pay for an apartment plus expenses for food 14 — you start realizing a little bit what they’ve done for you,” Zacha says of his mother and father this is not normal what they’re going through.’ I started realizing what they’ve done I wanted to work out and go on the ice myself a little more but for them to see that they appreciate that I’m doing it not just because he’s telling me.” prepared his protein shakes and cooked his meals Some of his work at the stove left room for improvement so he tried to read and learn about it and tried to make really healthy meals,” Zacha recalls this is not something I can do.’ But he learned his way.” It was during their time in Liberec that the son sometimes pushed back against the father Some of the older Bili Tygri players stayed at a hotel The 15-year-old Zacha wanted to hang out with his teammates His father urged him to focus on his training “Sometimes we had little fights over that stuff because I wanted more free time,”

the match But his family had done everything for him to do his favorite sport.” Zacha has always been told he is an old soul He moved to a new continent and learned a new language four years later He did not fulfill his potential in New Jersey “The biggest problem I had when I came to the NHL was short-term memory,” Zacha says There wasn’t that many games when I was 13 You could have a bad game on Sunday and have five days to try not to think about it because it was so long ago if you have back-to-back or if we have six in nine “That’s what kind of got me the first couple years I had a bad game before.’ But it was already another game.” Zacha is used to hearing two regular questions would he have made the NHL without his father’s training But I didn’t have a lot more than everyone else,” Zacha says Everyone who’s here started working really hard Zacha believes his father’s philosophy helped him learn the importance of commitment Zacha could have applied what he learned to something else I was ambitious enough to go another route,” Zacha says “and hopefully be successful in that way.” The other query he receives is whether he’d do something similar if he has children maybe I’ll give them everything they want like my dad did.’ That’s what he thought was going to be the best for me Maybe that’s what I’m going to be thinking in the future too But luckily I don’t have to think about it yet.” Zacha acknowledges he did not experience a normal childhood “He’s the only one I’ve seen in my life,” Zboril says “It just shows how much he loves the game of hockey going through this So many guys and young kids would just quit on the spot and would become resistant toward hockey I think I would be one of those guys that would quit.” Zboril’s close friend was one of three Bruins to play in all 82 games. The Bruins won 65 of those 82.
