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.
