In sport volunteers week I want to to join in my thanks of all those who make sport possible – having just returned from a Touch Rugby session. However, in truth there are also people who sap your energy when volunteering. There are always difficult people in life and clearly sport volunteers are not going to be any different. I have had my fill with one person – an energy Sapper. They drain and suck life out of people around them with their negativity. But it’s our job to smile & carry on. Or is it? Shouldn’t we get rid of energy sappers even if they are volunteers? What do you think. Should we manage volunteers? It’s a tough call
