Did you know that baseball is like fundraising? You might ask “what in the world are you talking about?” Really - baseball is like fundraising.
Every team needs a manager. That’s you. You discuss strategy, how to execute, and eventually score runs and earn money. You understand all the components that make up this team. You are the starting point to assemble this “winning team”.
Every team needs a coach. That’s your chairperson. They execute the manager’s plan and focus on the strategy and game plan.
Every team needs players. That’s your student sellers. They are on the front lines and actually do the work during the game (sale). They are motivated by the coach and the manager. Key players like pitchers and catchers could be hidden gems within the organization. They are leaders within the team and can help the coach motivate and encourage production during practice and games.
Additionally you have front office staff (sales and group relations) along with the fans (sale supporters and outside customers) plus vendors (merchants in the book) which will help you sell more “programs” (coupon books) during this game.
You get the point. Everyone has a role. Everyone is important. There is no “I” in Team. Everyone working together makes a difference and ultimately reaches the goal of raising funds for the team. OK manager - it’s time to go out and draft some more coaches, players, and teams!!!
