ORD MINNETT AUSSIE SHARKS HEAD COACH ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING
In water polo, the top teams around the world have detailed plans for every tournament, every match and every training session. They don’t just have one plan, they have multiple plans for various scenarios that could arise during any stage of a water polo tournament.
Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks Head Coach, Tim Hamill, knows first-hand the importance of having multiple plans when it comes to preparing his side for any opponents they face.
For Hamill, being prepared is critical so when the unexpected happens, he has options to navigate potential uncharted waters.
“One of the most important things in water polo is developing a plan, executing it and reviewing the plan. We continue this three-stage process a couple of times until we gain success.
“In sport, a lot like in business, our ability to adapt is absolutely crucial… if we don’t adapt, that will lead to poor performances and ultimately many losses.”
Water Polo Australia’s partners Ord Minnett (Ords) understand that investing in the share market can propose similar challenges for investors, however like water polo, being prepared for the unexpected can ensure success in the long run.
“In sport and in business, unfortunately adversity is all part of it. It’s how we respond to that adversity that’s really, really important.
“From a coaching landscape, what does that look like? That means reconnecting to our plan, reconnecting to our themes and engaging the wider team to again refine where we’re headed,” said Hamill.
Hamill is the leader of the Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks, but like all good leaders relies on the advice from his support team which is made up of experienced professionals from different backgrounds. Whether that’s from other coaches, sports analysts, nutritionists, medical staff and more.
As is the same in financial advice, a great adviser doesn’t just tell you what to do - they help you see the big picture, avoid mistakes, and play to your strengths so you can win in the long run
“Gone are the days when the Head Coach made all the decisions without any collaboration with other staff, players and team members.
“Modern day coaching and modern day leadership is a lot about collaboration using the various minds, thoughts and decisions of an extended group to develop a plan that leads to success,” he said.
