National Team Manager Day is celebrated every year on Nov. 6 to honor the leaders of a team who drives them to success.

Team managers are often unsung heroes behind the success of teams. Regardless of the type of sports, or the size of the leagues, they often act as a glue that pulls together the efforts of their team while guiding them to march toward success. The role of the team manager is to act as a liaison between coaches, parents and players.

You can take part in the day's celebration by expressing your gratitude to your team manager. Send a simple note of appreciation through email or surprise your team manager with a small token of appreciation.

If you are a team manager, today is the day to appreciate your work and understand the importance of team effort. Spend time with your team to understand what motivates them better.
