Deep dives
Steve Kerr's Intentional Planning Process
Steve Kerr's success as a coach can be attributed to his intentional planning process. Before becoming the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Kerr took two years to meticulously observe, learn, and write down everything he observed and wanted to implement. He created a Microsoft Word document where he detailed offensive and defensive strategies, team policies, and more, leaving no detail too small. This document, along with a video library of 50+ plays, formed the basis of his detailed PowerPoint presentation during the interview process. Kerr's intentional planning and accumulation of information set him apart and ultimately led to his success as a coach.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Platform
When creating a culture manual, it's crucial to select a platform that works for you. Steve Kerr used a Microsoft Word document, but other options like Google Docs and Evernote offer valuable features. Google Docs facilitates collaboration and sharing, making it ideal for coaches who want input from others. Evernote is a versatile note-taking platform that allows for easy organization and searching. Regardless of the platform chosen, coaches should explore options beyond pen and paper to effectively capture and organize their ideas.
Capturing and Organizing Information
In today's information age, coaches have access to numerous resources, such as podcasts, books, clinics, and meetings. To effectively capture and organize this information, coaches should categorize it based on themes such as discipline, relationships, recruiting, and communication. Additionally, creating a timeline can help coaches determine when certain strategies and ideas are most relevant. Establishing a system for accumulating and updating information is vital to maximizing the benefits of a culture manual. Whether it's dedicating regular time to review and update the document or engaging in conversations with fellow coaches, the goal is to continuously refine and apply the captured insights.
