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.
