Communication Managers; Every Team Needs One!

A new idea has hit people in the sports community lately, having a team communication manager. Some teams in all of the professional sports areas are starting to hire new "communication mangaers" and i think its a great idea. They are essentially the person that will represent the team and communicate to all outside people through a common ground. Some of the responisbilities of a communication manager would be tickets, marketing, corporate sales, and media relations.

This communication manager position is a very important one, and for many reasons. A team can work together and make a single decision about important issues which then will be translated to the communication manager, who can tell the public or whoever the issue pertains to. With the use of a communication manager there will be several problems eliminated, for example if a team faces a tough loss then instead of the players dealing with the media and telling several different versions of a story, the communication manager can tell one clear and concise story which will hopefully eliminate false rumors spreading about a team or players.

This is a great opportunity for a team in any sport, there are always issues that need to be discussed and with a manager of communication you can ensure everything will be stated exactly how you would want it to be.
