Steve Kerr (@SteveKerr) is the Golden State Warriors Head Coach and a PCA National Advisory Board Member. He led the Warriors to the 2014-2015 NBA Championship and a record 73 wins the following regular season and a second consecutive NBA Finals appearance. As a player, Kerr was a five-time NBA champion with the Bulls and Spurs, then served as a TV commentator and General Manager of the Phoenix Suns.
In this podcast interview with PCA Founder and CEO Jim Thompson (@JimThompson18), Kerr discusses the Warriors' four core values: joy, mindfulness, compassion and competition. Youth and high school coaches can learn from Kerr's approach to building a team culture, borrowing ideas he learned from Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll: "Pare down your core values and tailor your daily routine around those core values.”
