I år vil vi i Tromsø Storm gi deg en adventskalender der du hver dag får vite litt ekstra om oss i Storm-familien.

Hovedtrener Kenneth Webb (59) er inne i sin tiende sesong i klubben. Den karismatiske amerikaneren er en globetrotter som har reist verden rundt som spiller og trener før han havnet i Tromsø. Kenneth hadde en flott karriere som spiller, og etter han la opp har han trent lag i tilsammen 5 forskjellige europeiske land. En trener av den “gamle skole” der disiplin og hardt arbeid er det viktigste. Han har hatt suksess i Tromsø og vunnet 3 seriemesterskap og kommet til 4 NM-finaler, men dessverre ennå ikke vunnet.

Nære venner av Kenneth sier følgende om han; Han er profesjonell til fingerspissen og lar ingenting være ugjort når han analyserer kamper og legger ny slagplan for neste kamp. Er et basketleksikon og basketball er livet hans. Men han er en også en lidenskapelig kokk. Veldig sosial og lett å prate med. Stort konkurranseinstinkt, noe som kan resultere i litt dårlig humør når laget taper…
