Managing expectations
Being part of a sports organisation comes with many pressures – whether that’s pressure from parents, expectations from coaches, the club and also the athletes. With a lot of people asking for a lot of different goals, it can be easy to overpromise and underdeliver.
But this is the last thing we want. Instead, have taiwan rcs data conversations with these stakeholders about expectations.
If a coach has an expectation about what their athlete should be achieving, then that needs to be communicated to the athlete. Likewise, it needs to be communicated to their parents, too. – and they can all work towards it without anyone facing undue stress.
The relationship between management and coaching staff can also face strain when it comes to expectations. One way this can be relieved is for leaders to create effective ‘job descriptions’ so that coaches know exactly what is expected of them. They can therefore manage their workloads accordingly, and focus on what they now know to be the management’s priorities.
