Sport Club Management - Hardcover

Run your sport club as professionally as any business. This resource makes management simple for all club sports, whether a big club with an extensive budget or a local club with limited resources. Unlike most books written for sport club managers, this resource goes beyond the coaching side. In addition to player development, the content focuses on successful business tactics as they relate to sport clubs. The book provides advice on determining the organisational structure of the club, hiring effective leaders, understanding parental relationships and facing legal and ethical issues. "Sport Club Management" expertly shows readers how to run a club in today's demanding, high-tech environment. With this guide, leaders will be able to communicate their club's mission, establish its brand, and bring in the revenue required to ensure long-term success.
