You don’t need to do it all. In fact, you shouldn’t. Delegating tasks like uniform orders, size tracking, or event coordination doesn’t mean losing control, it means gaining time (and sanity).
Delegation is a leadership skill. It shows you trust your team and allows you to focus on coaching, mentoring, and strategy.
Here’s how to delegate smartly:
-
Make a simple checklist of what needs to be done (e.g., collect sizes, confirm payment, pick up uniforms). This gives clarity and avoids missed steps.
-
Choose one or two responsible helpers, maybe a team parent or senior athlete. Explain the task in detail, including when and how it should be completed.
-
Use tools: Google Sheets, group chats, shared docs, or even a whiteboard in the gym can help keep everyone on track and accountable.
When you delegate with structure and trust, things get done your way, without you burning out in the process.
