Athlete Handbook

For your initial post for this discussion you are going to list and discuss topics that
should be included in an athlete handbook for their sport. Think about the management
areas that were covered in the book. Look back at the prior assignment in this module
regarding management areas and think about the topics that will come up over the pre-
season, season and postseason. What are the most important topics that you would
want in an athlete handbook for your sport/team. You need to list and explain at least
10 topics that you would include. Type directly into the text box or type into a word doc
and copy into the text box.

Athletic handbooks are very important in team sports because they cover a lot of
important information needed for an athlete to participate. A hand book should first
cover the season goals, contact information and expectations. The next section in the
handbook should cover the eligibility requirements for players. After reading the
requirements a payer should know what is expected to be considered an addition to the
team. Athletes may want to know information on team uniforms which is why the
handbook should have a section for team uniforms and team fees. The handbook
should have a section dedicated to package deals and pricing for team jerseys, warm
ups and equipment. Another very important section the handbook should carry are the
team policies. The team policies are very important rules that should always be
followed.The handbook should also have the team schedules for practices and games,
so that players can schedule accordingly. Lastly the handbooks should cover a section
dedicated to preparation and healthy diets. The preparation section will cover ways
athletes can train to be physically fit. The healthy diets will focus on what to eat and
what not to eat during the season and on game days.
