Sports Management Careers

Good football teams, netball teams, players of soccer and golf and tennis and hockey – they all need good management to get ahead and succeed at what they do best. If you live and breathe sport and would love to work with athletes, then becoming a sports coach or therapist could be the right career move.

Sports manager is a broad term encompassing team managers, athlete managers, trainers, sports therapists, development manager and coaches. The goal is the same: help athletes to achieve peak performance by providing hands-on or managerial support.

Professional sports managers are required to have a good grasp of sports management concepts, sports psychology, sports training, therapy and massage, training and assessment, programming and instruction methods. They’re crucial to the success of serious athletes today.
