New Year's Resolutions for Team Managers: 3 Ways to Upgrade Your Organization in 2026
Introduction
The matches are paused, and the stadiums are quiet. It is the perfect time for reflection. If 2025 felt like a constant scramble—chasing down jersey sizes, rushing orders, or dealing with mismatched gear—it is time to change the playbook. Successful teams are built in the off-season. Here are three resolutions every team manager should make to ensure a smoother, more professional 2026.
Resolution #1: "I Will Stop the Last-Minute Scramble"
Procrastination is the enemy of quality. The number one cause of stress for managers is ordering uniforms two weeks before the season starts. This leads to rush fees, limited design choices, and high blood pressure.
- The 2026 Plan: Shift your calendar. Collect sizes during tryouts, not after. Finalize your designs 60 days before the first game. By ordering early with Xteamwear, you guarantee delivery buffers and reduce costs.
Resolution #2: "I Will Treat My Team Like a Brand"
Look good, feel good, play good. It’s a cliché because it’s true. If your team showed up in 2025 wearing mismatched socks or faded practice pinnies, you are sending a message of mediocrity to your opponents.
- The 2026 Plan: Standardize your look. Ensure your practice gear matches your game day kits. Invest in matching travel tracksuits. When your players look like a cohesive unit the moment they step off the bus, they start the game with a psychological advantage.

Resolution #3: "I Will Engage Our Fans"
Your supporters—parents, friends, and community members—want to show their pride, but often they have nothing to wear.
- The 2026 Plan: Don't leave your fans out in the cold. Organize a "Fan Gear" order alongside your team order. Offering hoodies, scarves, or replica tees not only builds community spirit but can also serve as a fundraiser for the club.
