Building A Championship Team

Dusko Vujosevic is the head coach of Partizan Belgrade and the Serbian and Montenegro National team. While coaching Partizan, he won two National Championships, one Yugoslavian Cup, and the Korac Cup. As coach of the Junior National team, he won a gold medal at the 1988 European Championship. He also coached other Division I Yugoslavian, Spanish, and Italian clubs.

I don’t think team motivation is all about “big speeches and big words”. Motivation is a process that begins much earlier, going all the way back to the first day of practice. It starts with selecting players, explaining to them my coaching philosophy, establishing team rules, and then setting our goals. The key part in achieving these important aims comes down to the selection of players. Of primary importance is the athletic ability coupled with strong desire to win. I look for spirited competitors and good men. With players like these, your job is not to explain WHY you have to win, rather, your job is to teach them HOW to win. Players like these need to win. They already have this attitude “inside” and will accept nothing less than victory. These players form the foundation upon which you, as coach, can start building your team.

Players have personalities and their own ideas. Coaches have to realize this. But this is a team we are building and one player with a bad attitude and his own ideas can destroy everything you are working for. A coach should not tolerate something as seemingly “innocent” as a player turning his back in a locker room discussion. Part of your job is to recognize disruptive or disgruntled players and do everything in your power to stop them, even if it means dismissing them from the team.

You’ll know you are doing a good job in fostering a high sense of team morale if your team has a willingness to hustle for the entire game. Explain to them that championship teams do play at this high level of enthusiasm and that they cannot underperform.

The next step in building a team comes from hard practice sessions. You have to work hard with your team and it is important for everybody on the team to understand one thing: the willingness to win games starts with a willingness to practice hard. Hard working players, like hard working teams, are not quitters. They don’t quit in practice sessions nor do they quit in games. Sasha Danilovic, who played in the NBA, and Milos Vujanic, who used to play for Partizan, and soon for an NBA team, fully understand the concept of hard work.

As a coach, you have to do your best to develop something I call the “cult of unselfishness,” which is a special mindset possessed by some of the better players. Watch Tony Kukoc, who is now with the Milwaukee Bucks. With the ball in his hands, he always looks to pass to a teammate who is in better scoring position before he attempts to make his own offensive move. He is a valuable asset to any team because he is the type of unselfish player who elevates the play of his teammates.

Your players have to know that what makes the team good is the sum of their own individual sacrifices. Championship teams have that kind of attitude. For example, even if your top player scored 30 points, a player on a championship caliber team is not happy if his team did not win the game. Nor would he be happy if his team won and he felt that he did not fully contribute to the victory.

Once you have “good vibrations” from the players on your team, you maintain it by telling them both the good and bad things they are doing on the court. This goes for your best players as well. No one gets special treatment on a team. However, the best player and the head coach have to do one thing together-they are responsible for setting “team rules.” It’s the best player who has to become an example for everybody else on the team. He has to work hard on the court, going hard in practice sessions and in the games.

I’m a realist and not a coach who thinks his team will win every game. But I am a coach who expects that each player will give their best every time they are on the court. If the team loses badly, it’s a sign that something is wrong with the team and it needs to be corrected immediately. An important next step for a coach at the beginning of the season is setting both team goals and individual goals for every player on my team. Individual goals need to be part of the overall team goal.

I also want each of my players to have “day goals” something they will try to accomplish at every practice. I want them to work hard on the court, so when they leave the court at the end of practice they will know that they pushed themselves to become a better player than they were at the start of practice. At each of my practices sessions, I want my players to compete, to do their best, to push themselves to succeed, and most of all to understand that we can’t reach the top without their willingness to practice hard every single time. Dejan Bodiroga, who plays for Barcelona, understands this concept.

He is what I call a “self-coached player.” He gives of himself at every practice because he wants to improve his game. He wants to do better in every game. With a team of players with the work ethic of Bodiroga, a coach will certainly come close to experiencing true coaching happiness.
