Role of a Team Manager

10

The management of a Surf Sports team is an important function that can make the difference between the competitors enjoying a good competition experience, doing their best in an event or even making the start line. It is essential that a positive experience in a team is achieved and that it serves to keep them involved in surf lifesaving. The role requires strong organisational skills, the ability to think on your feet and manage multiple tasks, strong communication skills, and a sound knowledge of competition rules together with a positive attitude and a commitment to succeed. The positive interaction between the team coach, or trainer, support crew including parents is of great importance to the team well being.

opportunities to identify problems and explore options, to allow them to be part of the decision-making process.

• The decision-making process needs to be managed to ensure the team is provided with criteria and restrictions to allow them to make effective decisions.

about it, and do you find yourself wanting to respond in the same way? • How did you feel if older people were dismissive of your preferences? • Your approach to youth should accept their culture is different to the

culture you experienced as a youth, while the responses to the questions above might be the same or similar.
