How Strive Helps Manage the Management Team — Not Just the Players

Running a successful team isn’t only about organising players.
Behind every strong squad is a management team that needs clear communication, aligned responsibilities, and real visibility across the season.

Strive is built to support coaches, selectors, S&C coaches, physios, team managers, and backroom staff just as much as the players themselves.

Here’s how.


1. Management-Only Team Chat

Strive includes a dedicated Management Team Chat where coaches and staff can privately discuss:

  • Team selection
  • Injuries and rehab
  • Tactical decisions
  • Training plans
  • Sensitive player issues

No more cluttered WhatsApp groups or accidental messages to players.
Just a clean, private space for staff communication.


2. Clear Visibility on Player Attendance & Commitment

Strive doesn’t just track attendance — it highlights patterns.

Management teams can immediately see:

  • Who is consistently attending
  • Who is missing sessions
  • Who is logging personal training
  • Who is trending up or down

This gives selectors and coaches a shared understanding of player commitment.


3. Shared Line-Up Building & Match Planning

All staff can view or contribute to:

  • Team sheets
  • Substitutions
  • Match instructions
  • Opposition research
  • Player ratings
  • Tactical notes

This ensures the entire coaching group is aligned before game day.


4. Injury & Rehab Transparency

Physios and S&C coaches can log:

  • Injuries
  • Recovery progress
  • Training limitations
  • Return-to-play notes

Management no longer needs to chase information — everything is in one place for everyone who needs it.


5. Session Planning & Calendar Sync

Coaches can schedule sessions, share plans, and sync everything with their calendars.

Management benefits by:

  • Knowing who is coaching each session
  • Seeing planned drills or focus areas
  • Aligning workloads across the season
  • Avoiding schedule clashes across teams

6. Accountability Tools for Staff Too

Just like players, the management team benefits from clear structure.

Strive shows:

  • Attendance trends
  • Communication logs
  • Training load summaries
  • Weekly team activity

This gives everyone on the backroom staff a clear overview of the group’s engagement and performance.


7. Parent Oversight Makes Management Easier

For youth teams, communication can be messy.
Strive simplifies it:

  • No player-to-coach direct messaging
  • Parents always have visibility
  • Coaches message parents, not youth players
  • All communication is stored and trackable

This removes stress and ensures proper safeguarding.


8. A Single System for Every Role

Strive keeps the entire management unit connected:

  • Head coach
  • Assistant coaches
  • Selectors
  • Strength & conditioning
  • Physios
  • Analysts
  • Team administrators

Everyone works from the same information, at the same time, in the same place.


The Result? A More Connected, More Effective Management Team

Strive doesn’t replace coaching — it supports it.

By giving management:

✔ clearer communication
✔ consistency in decision-making
✔ better visibility on players
✔ simplified admin
✔ structured planning tools

…your coaching group becomes more organised, more aligned, and much more effective.

When the management team is strong, the players naturally follow.
