The Secrets Are Revealed About Managing Hockey and Other Sports Teams

Minor hockey coach, Alan Mackenzie said, "It was like spending 5 years in advanced courses with a fortune 500 company rolled into a 4 hour course targeted at minor hockey."

Markham, ON (PRWEB) July 4, 2006 -- The Hockey Source has kicked off the upcoming season with revealing the secrets to successful team management. At the first class of its comprehensive Team Management Training attendees were amazed with the quality of material and support.

“The valuable, time-saving tools, strategies and complete manual will alleviate stress enabling me to better enjoy my role as manager. This is a MUST for all managers!” says team manager Stacey Lambert.

On average, for every 1 hour of practicing in the rink, 2 hours are spent sitting behind a desk or at a kitchen table focusing on seemingly endless paperwork; preparing and conducting meetings; organizing travel to tournaments and, of course, the inevitable and vital financial management of a team.

Minor hockey coach, Alan Mackenzie said, “It was like spending 5 years in advanced courses with a fortune 500 company rolled into a 4 hour course targeted at minor hockey. How refreshing to experience this high level thinking brought down to the level of the everyday person volunteering their time for the good of the game. Outstanding! Best and most appropriate hockey course ever!”.

The program simplifies tasks, shows people how to create clear communication channels, teaches fundraising strategies and saves people time. The program includes: a 4-hour training session with a course conductor, a proven step-by-step guide called the Team Management System® (TMS) , a 1-hour support telephone call with an expert from The Hockey Source and unlimited email support, giving the person in the role, a support structure that aligns with the coach, trainer and even parents.

And because no two teams are exactly alike, The Hockey Source customizes each guide (TMS) to fit every team’s individual needs allowing them to better plan, manage, and execute a great off the ice game plan. ”My investment will pay for itself many times over with a smooth running season, due to improved communications with the team members resulting from access to the numerous forms and templates included in the TMS. I can't imagine where I would have found the time to develop all of the resources you have assembled” commented team manager Albert Wong.

The program is in its infancy and is getting the attention of governing bodies across North America like USA Hockey, Hockey Alberta, Hockey BC, Alliance, Hockey of Ontario, ODHA, and Atlantic Regional Centre in Canada.
