List of National Team Managers since 1991.

Joseph Mathlong (National Team Manager for Board Gaming and Wargames).

In the past twenty-seven (27) years, Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has had eighteen (18) registered players that have served in the role of National Team Manager (NTM).

National team managers are an integral part of the national team. The national team manager sits with the selectors to select the national team, and does most of the administration inn regard to entering the team into the various events.

Team are also expected to travel with the team, and ensure that the team, like a highly tuned performance engine, is firing on all cylinders.

The team manager also has to take hard decisions, negotiate team member's feelings, and manage the team on a daily basis.

To be absolutely blunt, it is hard work holding he position, and in my opinion is held by the bravest of the brave.

The full list of all MSSA's National Team Managers since 1991 is as follows:
