I
have been coaching since the age of 18, everything from
basketball camps to youth tournaments. Became a player
coach my second year as a pro player in Sweden. In my 12
years as a pro player I always coached a team in the clubs
that I worked for, either the second team or the ladies
team. 5 of those years I was a player coach and all of my
teams did very well. Coached two years at a Junior College
in the US, produced great defensive teams that played well
together on offense. Have coached in the Swedish and
Danish first leagues, produced playoff teams and won the
Danish Championship. Coached also 2 seasons in the
Regional league in Germany, the first year we were the
second best defensive team in the league. We played
without an import and lost our best player to injury but
even though I had a 17 and 18 year old in my starting 5
and not one player on the team over 22, we were one of the
most exciting teams in the league. The next season we were
the number 1 defensive team and number 1 in points scored.
We had 5 games where we made 15 or more 3 pointers and
averaged 12-3 point shots made, while finishing the season
19-3. Have worked in Sweden and Denmark last 2 seasons.
COACHING
PHILOSOPHY
All
my teams play together on offense and play very good
defense that is the key to any really good team. I am a
high energy coach who teaches his players that by working
harder than everyone else and playing as a team as much as
humanly possible leads to a great deal of sucess. Role
acceptance is also very important for me, every player
must except his role in the team. Once the players roles
are defined and accepted the team starts to become a team
and players think more we and us instead of me
and my.
I
also like to stress the importance of the mental side of
basketball, preparation
and attitude are points that I use to give my teams
confidence in their effort. Contant intensity and focus
keeps my teams always ready to play hard and smart. The
physical side of basketball is just as important as the
mental and I have always produced teams with superior
conditioning. I
have studied nutrition and taken personal training
seminars because I beleive the great players and great
teams avoid injuries and stay strong over a season by
having good eating habits and great work habits. The work
habits have to do with proper weight training and intense
morning practices(skills,shooting and timing). I like to
have team rules and principles on and off the court this
keeps ego under control and a team that has respect for
the rules has respect for each other and the goals we set
and work for.

COACHING
GOALS
I
like to work with clubs who want to build a basketball
tradition of high quality and for a long period of time.
Lots of clubs plan short term and this causes both
finacial and development problems. Having lots of older
well payed players is sometimes a good short-term solution
but it also causes problems for the future(unless your
club has lots of money to spar). I always like to have a
few young talented players in the program this gives you a
strong future and limits the amount money spent on older
expensive players. I also would like to get with a club
that has Euro-Cup ambitions, but realistic ones. Many
teams enter cups not thinking of the effects the extra
games and extra
pressure will have on the team. This is where the young
players would come in, if they are talented enough you can
use them to rest the older experienced players.
