Definitely worth a read. ROO: People have been asking me what type of coach does the Adelaide Football Club need? The short answer is one that can take us to our next premiership. In my eyes, there are three key areas that a coach has to get right to take a team to a flag. 1 Culture: Developing a strong culture is critical to setting the standards and expectations of what your team stands for. When you develop a good culture, you develop behaviours within your football club that end up becoming habits that everyone expects to live and breathe. Standards need to be clear and achievable to all and the senior coach must drive the culture and set those standards and ensured they are adhered to consistently. 2. Leadership: The senior coach is the leader of the playing group and the other coaches. He is also a leader of the other football staff, as well as the members and supporters of the footy club. To be a leader you have to have followers, which means you need buy in from your players and staff on all of your plans and ideas. Strong communication and relationships, as well as giving and receiving feedback, is critical to success in this area. 3. Game and tactics: The ability to design, educate and then train a plan is a major role for a senior coach. The coach needs to develop systems and processes that enable his players to execute the game plan under extreme pressure. To do this successfully, he must create an environment that is both motivating and enjoyable, so they can maximise their potential consistently. I want all of the members and supporters of the Adelaide Football Club to understand that the committee charged with the responsibility of finding our next senior coach is doing everything it can to find the man who can display the above traits, and start the journey towards our next premiership.
