What Is Sports Management?

Sports management is much like sports consultancy. They work with the business side of sports and recreation. Sport management might involve working on a sports team’s finances, managing sport events, or acting as a form of communication between coaches, sports choreographers, and the media.

How do you become a sports manager?

There are a variety of degree programs in sports management. These are available at a university or online at both undergraduate/graduate levels. Sports management requires excellent analytical thinking, confidence, and communication skills. However, a degree isn’t necessary but helps.

Work experience is just as useful such as, coaching youth sports clubs, becoming involved in the management and operations of a sports club and volunteering at sport events and amateur teams.

What do sport managers do?

Much of what a sport manager does is behind the scenes. You can find careers in the following fields:

  • Teaching sports management
  • Sports talent director
  • Promotion’s manager
  • Marketing
  • Events manager
  • Sports commissioner
  • Sales
  • Sponsorship

However, director level positions tend to require more advanced education such as a masters.
