WHAT I WANT TO DO FOR YOU
Being enthusiastic - ServicesBeing enthusiastic - That's my goal for my team (that is always number one). Playing attractive basketball energizing the whole gym and fans while winning the game. Developing an innovative system with rules and automatics while giving the players a lot of freedom for their creativity and strengths. Each player changes the system with his style of playing. Everything with space and love for the ball combined with an aggressive defense if the ball is lost. Each possession is the most important.
A lot of topics coaching a team are comparable to a company. The things I want to focus on, are Goals, Concepts and Leadership. All topics supporting you become a successful sport team. Learning from each other improving your own priorities.

Basketball
Team is number 1: Playing with a lot of pace and aggressiveness in an organized fullcourt chaos with love for the ballEverybody should be enthusiastic - the fans, the club, the staff and of course the players.
We want to play with a lot of pace, but the team is number one. "Together Everybody Achieves More." Everybody is the most important one, not a star. The basketball style is characterized from Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp and Phil Jackson. On the one side we always want to move the ball in a fullcourt space - finding the best free spot - on the other side if we don't have it, our aggressive defense should take it back as soon as possible (press and counter-press) and protect the rim.
Everything happens with energy, emotions, individually decisions, athletic players, flexibility, physical and mental fitness.
"Every possession is the most important" - and - "The game is only won / lost, if it is the final whistle"
Do you want to transform your company to a successfull sport team?
Let's begin developing resultsGoals
Every player is important and has certain personal goals and wishes, employees tooSome players want to develop their defense, others want to improve their shooting, others want more responsibility and so on.
Are goals and wishes from players and employees only good for them? I would say: No, because in basketball every player can change a game completely, being creative or giving everything he could.
For companies, the goals and wishes could help developing new products or the efficiency is getting even higher. And of course the working atmosphere is much better you can imagine. By the way it improves your image.

What counts, are results and attractivenessStrategy
what is the big plan to follow?Structure
how to bring it to action?Rules
how to deal to each other? which values are important?Rituals
what helps to perform?The precondition for success are the players / employees. But on the end what counts are results. Wins in sport and profit in companies. How to get the results?
In our team we have a strategy how to play our sport: an offense, defense and transition strategy. It is a concept with a solid construction with special rules and automatics. So we know how to play. And that should be clear for every single player.
We have a main target to get a basket but every player has enough freedom for his strength and creativity. So the system is the same with a lot of ways to interpret it. It is flexible.
Leadership
How to combine the goals from the players with the own concept and expectation?Leadership is always a big challenge. Especially for me. I am young, younger than a lot of my players. Always there is the question? How old are you? From my players? No - only from outside. But what really matters is the team and the success.
There is a chance for good results if there is one focus. Our target. Winning. Following a plan, your plan. Everybody has his own expectation about what to do. And there are a lot of different meanings.
If you want to be a good leader you have to be authentic. It is your way that fits to you. And of course is has to fit to the players, too. Have a concept containing your big ideas with enough space for your players.
