sportsman that resides within the individuals. Sports have developed since the day of its
inception and the change has been a continuous one. It is an ongoing process of development and

of the sports team is based on the events that are being undertaken as a survey of the present day
requirements of the sports (Giza et al., 2013). The discussion that follows aims at maintaining the
equilibrium of the events that are being undertaken in order to support the criteria of the sports.
In general, the people that are engaged with the sports must have certain criteria in order to make
the game sustainable and to maintain the authenticity of the events. The discussion that follows
portrays the facts as per the management skills that is required in order to make the sports
authentic and live.
The skills that an individual must inherit in order to manage the team efficiently is based
on the criteria of the manager being comfortable with the diverse group of people. The diverse
group of people includes the team itself, the medical support, the associates and the like.
Therefore, in order to manage them efficiently, the manager must be comfortable with every
setting and every individual who comes in their way (Lopez, 2014). The integrated teamwork is
another factor that must be undertaken by the managers in order to keep the team united and
thereby influencing the strategies that the team undertakes in order to win over the opponents.

keep them united on field.
The basic criteria of the planning process depends on the individuals, the people who are
being included based on the principles of the sport (Galloway, 2013). Management of the sports
is an important aspect that is required to be adhered in order to maintain the wholeness of the
events. Proper management, based on the ethics, is an important part in order to retain the
authenticity of the sports that is being undertaken.
According to the podcast that is being considered as a support of the discussion that
follows, the basic criteria of choosing the right person for the sports is based on the factors that
affect the sports (Sloansportsconference.com, 2017). The factors are being broadly discussed in
the discussion that follows. The managers hold a very important position in maintaining the
equality and the unity of the team in regards to the issues that are being faced by the team. The
managers hold a very significant position in not only influencing the events of the team functions
but also to keep the team motivated.
Therefore, from the above discussion it can be concluded that the effective functions
undertaken by the managers is an important consideration that a team must undertake in order to
understand the requirements of the team and thereby take decisions depending on the needs and
requirements thus.
