National Team Manager Day

National Team Manager Day is a holiday that celebrates the often unseen and unrecognized work of the team manager. Every year, on November 6, we recognize the important role of team managers, who serve as the link between all team players, regardless of the sport, league, or team size. Managers handle a variety of tasks, from raising funds and organizing travel for away games, to finding sponsors, managing schedules and budgets, renting training facilities, and overseeing the entire training process.

History

Managers have become a crucial part of any team, whether it’s hockey, football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, or gymnastics. They are the unsung heroes, doing challenging and often invisible work without seeking fame or recognition. It is the manager who keeps the team together, acting as the glue that binds players and coaches. The manager’s well-coordinated efforts are essential to a comfortable and successful team environment.

Interesting facts

• Managers are often classmates or parents, depending on the level of the sport.
• They play a key role in the provision and organization of any team, from youth sports to professional leagues.
• Managers are often called unsung heroes, as they take on difficult and sometimes thankless tasks that go unnoticed.

How to take part

The simplest way to participate is to express your gratitude to the manager who holds the team together. Write a congratulatory post on social media to thank all representatives of this profession. If you know any managers personally, consider offering your help. If you’re not yet part of a team, join one. And if you don’t play, consider becoming a manager yourself.
