It Sounds Simple, But It Could Cost You Your Job
It might seem like something we shouldn’t even have to discuss, but the way we communicate with our teams matters so much that it could mean the difference between keeping your job or getting fired.
Scan the news reports during any sports season, and you’ll see how many coaches find themselves in hot water for texting minor athletes. Whether due to nefarious intent or innocent misjudgment, too many coaches become entangled in scrutiny over why they texted, when they texted, and what they texted to their athletes.
While many apps have been created to promote safer communication with athletic teams, most still have issues—who can see the messages? Can they be deleted? Is there a system in place to flag inappropriate content?
If we truly want a safe and accountable communication platform for adult coaches and minor athletes, we need:
✔ Complete transparency
✔ Archived messages that can’t be deleted
✔ A flagging system that blocks suggestive or obscene content, including images
Ballogy’s Industry-Leading Safe Messaging System
Ballogy has set the standard for transparency in team messaging. Our platform allows coaches and athletes to communicate freely, while parents and administrators have full confidence that no messages can be hidden or kept exclusive to the sender and receiver. Every message is archived and accessible if needed.
Even innocent typos that could appear offensive are flagged, so you don’t have to waste time dealing with issues that could have been avoided. We know you have zero time or tolerance for miscommunication, and Ballogy’s system is built to ensure safe and professional conversations.
One App for All Your Coaching Needs
How frustrating is it to open one app for flight info, another for hotel reservations, another for your car rental, and yet another for navigation when you’re on vacation? We get it. Coaches shouldn’t have to juggle multiple apps for their daily needs either.
