Inside the Episode
We had another fun conversation on the podcast this week with one of the best coaches in Europe in BC Nokia’s, Greg Gibson! BC Nokia plays in Finland’s top professional division and we enjoyed picking Coach Gibson’s brain on a variety of topics including:
- Investing in People and Culture: Coach Gibson has long been an advocate for spending quality time investing in the people that make up an organization. We explore his learnings from doing this over the years as well as what the ROI is for putting time and effort into the individual’s closest to you.
- The Adaptability of Stagger and Turnout Entries: We got a bit technical in the middle of the podcast as we picked apart the various ways Coach Gibson teaches and uses both Stagger and Turnout Entries. Coach Gibson discusses why he landed on those entries as well as how he thinks about using a shooter within those alignments.
- “Start, Sub, or Sit”: In this always fun segment we discuss Coach Gibson’s thoughts on managing pressure as a coach and teaching Bigs to be better PNR screeners.
