When I took over at Aris, I planned to use the preseason for development and evaluation for both the team and myself. But after a 4–4 start, management made it clear: the front office tracks results even in August. That pressure forced an immediate shift from installation mode to win-now mode.
Use the preseason for what it’s designed for: install your stuff, watch it break, fix it. If you only care about winning in August, you’ll miss what your team actually needs. Build the habits now. The results come later.
