Marko and me had a wide ranging conversation about his life as a coach's son, the struggles of growing up as one and finally finding validation. We obviously touched on communication, which is my favorite subject and that helped us contextualize a lot of details that are 'hidden' in the daily life of a GM. We talked about the communication between him and the Sports Director as well as the Head Coach and how to keep everyone on the same page, which situations matter in regards to communication with players and which situation can't be solved by him. Learning to distinguish of what he can solve and what he can't solve is key to the success of an organization and being aligned with everything that is going on in the club. We also touched on scouting your own team, observing practices and the qualities to look for in a Head Coach, obviously also dove into the integration of youth players and how to make decisions that involved their development. We also briefly analyzed a box score from their last game vs Panathinaikos on www.proballers.com and swiftly moved on to talking about his personal life, the balance between family and work as well as his 'information diet' and what influences his thinking on a daily basis.
