Provides perspectives from 12 high-performance organizations across four countries on developing and maintaining an effective sports medicine team.
What should a highly effective sports medicine team look like? In 1989, Stephen Covey published his highly acclaimed book ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’. This book, with sales exceeding 25 million copies,describes how individuals contribute to successful organisations, in part by fostering interdependence among staff. The multidisciplinary and interdependent nature of high-performance sporting teams have been highlighted in BJSM editorials. Central in these commentaries has been the importance of collective decision-making and shared responsibilities. With sports medicine teams growing rapidly, sport has become somewhat of an ‘arms race’, with team owners often convinced that the secret to developing a winning franchise lies in the quality of the backroom staff. When assembling a sports medicine team to support the coaches and athletes, what should owners be looking for? What are the characteristics of a highly effective sports medicine team? Here, we provide a perspective from 12 different high-performance organisations based in four countries.
