Crisis Management

Crisis Management

We teach our team that during any single event, season, etc. there will be three crises to manage for each team. The team that manages the 3 crises the best, generally win those games.

We want our team to understand that each practice, game, etc. there will be some adversity, crisis for us to encounter.

The following is taken from “Beyond Basketball”:

Crises are not handled in the instant they occur but are prepared for in all of the moments that you and your team spend leading up to that one. Every team meeting, every individual conversation that occurs during the season establishes who we will collectively be when a crisis occurs.
Crisis causes people to think and act as individuals rather than as part of a team. A leader’s goal during these times must be to refocus every individual’s attention on the group, the entity that you have created, which is far stronger than each separate individual.
