“I would never accept the job as a team leader if it hadn’t been for Spond”
Sports is all about achievements, new friends and experiences, the feeling of acceptance, and of course having fun. The great goal you scored in an important match, that best friend you met on practice, that one time your team went for teambuilding, sports are an important part of shaping childhood, sports give you the great memories you bring with you through life. That’s why it is crucial that sports are well organized and planned.
Spond is designed for anyone who loves sports, a tool that will make sports a bit easier and of course a bit better. Spond is the app that would make being the coach more fun and the everyday life easier. One who is certain about Sponds success is team leader Marie Helena Gundersen:
“I would never accept the job as a team leader if it hadn’t been for Spond. It makes a hectic weekday so much easier when it comes to organizing. Before we had Spond we used emails, which we had to update often and this took a lot of time. I have children of my own and a lot of stuff to do during a day, so I didn’t have the extra time for all the organization as well. Before Spond I could send a text messages to the girls about when to show up for practice and then receive six different responds why they couldn’t come, there were a lot of messages, but with Spond everything is now in one place.”
It is not always easy to understand and keep up with the ever-growing technology world, and that’s precisely why Gundersen has put her trust into Spond:
“Spond is absolutely genius because it is so easy to use. I do not have to spend much time and energy planning when I will have time to respond and send emails, thanks to Spond I can now do everything on my phone to and from work on the train. All the girls and parents are members of Spond, so we can arrange everything from practice, matches, tournaments and social events there. We use Spond to every aspect when it comes to sports.”
My husband often asks about the other parents’ phone number and I always reply: “You can find it on Spond”, says Gundersen with laughter in her voice, pointing out how delightful it is that everything is gathered on the same app.
Lars Ritland, team co-ordinator, also agrees with Spond’s value in terms of organization:
“Because of Spond we always get a good overview of who shows up for practice and match. And the functionality of the relationship between parents and kids, both can now answer. Before we used Spond we had another app for planning, but when someone presented Spond, we immediately switched. I think it’s easy to handle, and they also invest a lot in new solutions and are constantly evolving.”
In today’s society everyone keeps their phone in their hands 24/7, we are constantly up to date on everything that is happening. But often there can be too many apps to keep track of at the same time, it’s easy to forget about your emails one day and an important message might slip out of sight. Spond on the other hand is designed so that this doesn’t happen and that you can have control of everything on one app. Ritland thinks it’s completely unthinkable to return to email and are sure that tools like Spond have come to stay.
Ritland is not in doubt on why he would recommend Spond to other teams and parents:
“There is no better option, efficiently running and organizing many teams, Spond is the app to use. We have been very clear in our recommendations to other teams that Spond is the way to go. Spond is the perfect administration of everyday life.”
