Abstract
This paper is a positive assessment of sports management as a career choice. It outlines and describes the career opportunities available in the field of sports management, the education, training, and skills required, job prospects, and potential salaries.
From the Paper
"I am determined to pursue a sports related career preferably in sports management. The reason for my decision is my love for sports in general and Ice hockey in particular. I know that a career in sports cannot be just taken for granted because of the intense competition in the field that is fueled by the desire in countless other young people to enter a similar career path. The reason for such a trend is not hard to find: there is an in-born desire in a majority of young people to play and enjoy sports. With professional sports having achieved the status of a burgeoning industry, there are several sports-related jobs that can be adopted as full time careers these days and there is nothing more satisfying than doing the thing that we love for a living. In this essay I shall describe the different occupations that are included in sports management, the education, training and skills required for the profession, job prospects in the field and the kind of salary one can expect in sports management."

Change Management in Sports-Strategic Plan Development
From the Paper
"The newly appointed Emergency Manager must lead their subordinates, the Legislature and the Governor in a clearly defined direction in the development of a strategy for implementation of change that has been identified in previous assignments. It is critical that the Emergency Manager understand the functionality and limitations of Emergency planning, National Response planning and Incident Management System planning. The operational plan will be developed in full from identification of the weaknesses or threats that exist in implementing this plan. The plan will have to be initiated through difficult choices such as outsourcing and reduction in personnel. This plan will change the way business is conducted in demonstrating how the obstacles of execution might be overcome."

Abstract
This paper presents a look at the education of business managers. The author focuses on the management of a sports bar and details the reasons the management team would do a better job if it were better educated in marketing, advertising, inventory control, and employee relations.
From the Paper
""The business world is a booming industry. We have seen many changes over the last few decades and the economic slow down of late is promising to bring more changes still. One of the most important elements of a business and its success failure is the management team that runs the establishment. The management can make or break a place just by the way its run. In a sports bar there are many things to consider when it comes to the practices of running it. Because it is a place that the public comes to spend time there are things that are unique to it. In addition it is a place where in general young people are hired to perform the tasks required to run the business. All of these things mean that the management team needs to be on top of things all of the time. The more educated the management team is individually the more efficiently the business is going to run and the more profitable the bottom line will be."

Sports Science and Sports Medicine, 2004.
An overview of sports/exercise science and medicine, two fields that have only recently begun consolidating into distinct professions.

Abstract
Sports has become a multi-billion-dollar business, and the ever-increasing competitiveness and challenges, both mental and physical, faced by the modern sportsperson has increased the need for a medical and scientific support system for athletes. This paper discusses two fields that have developed from this need: sports science and sports medicine. The paper shows that they are interrelated, the former being more of an investigative and experimental area, while the latter deals with the implementation of the knowledge and techniques developed by sports science.
From the Paper
"High quality sports performance depends largely on an individual?s movement pattern and is usually referred to as technique. Good technique not only produces an effective performance but also reduces the risk of injury. The effect of physical forces on the movement and on the size, shape and structure of the body is scientifically studied by biomechanists today in an attempt to help optimize athletic technique. (Stein, 2003) Through qualitative analysis via direct observation on film or video tape, a biomechanist will study an athlete?s performance with a view to diagnosing any problems which might be limiting sporting potential. In close consultation with the athlete?s coach, training patterns may be altered to incorporate elements which may help to rectify the problem."

The Sociology of Sport: The Ideals of Sports as a Reflection of Society, 2002.
A paper which looks at what sports represents and what it communicates to society.

Abstract
Sports has become a central part of society, introduced to children at a young age and often continuing to be part of a person?s life throughout their lifetime. Sports impacts on people in a number of ways. The paper shows that in childhood, the focus of sports is often on participating, working with other people and aspiring to be the best one can be. Successful sports people also become heroes for children, something that continues into adulthood. The paper shows that as individuals grow older their focus may change from playing sports to watching sports. At the same time, sports people continue to be respected and viewed as heroes, the fact that successful sports people get paid millions in sponsorship money is evidence that they must have a major impact on consumers. Overall, this paper looks at what sports represents and the values it communicates to people.
From the Paper
"Sport is also closely related to a person?s life in society in a general way. In sport, people compete against each other to win. In a person?s working life the same thing occurs. A person works against others in the workplace to earn individual rewards and promotions. A person also works as part of the company team, to grow the company. The same occurs in schools where students works in competition with each other to receive awards. Students then work to get into college, with the best students winning the college place. This illustrates one of the main aspects central to sports, the competition factor inherent to sport. This also shows how this competition factor inherent in sports is also one inherent in life. This is another major reason why sport reflects society."

Abstract
This paper explores different avenues for small-scale sports tourism in the direction of amateur sports tournaments and how establishing a sport commission can help. It focuses on recreational sport tournaments for adults and youth by examining a case study dealing with the organization of a sports commission and the economic impact it that has resulted on the community. The reason for discussing sports tournaments is because they are fairly low-investment opportunities that small communities can explore, with large returns for the resources that are already present.

From the Paper
"Green and Chalip (1998) help explain who is participating by exploring the motivations of the active sport tourist traveling to participate in their chosen sport by examining a women?s flag football tournament. The authors explain the increasing growth in active lifestyles and how it is not only the younger population, who are participating, but also the older segment is starting to stay more active. This trend is leading to more vacations that are based on or around sport. The paper presents the ideas that the active sport tourist does not only travel for the competition, but also to be able to identify with the subculture of their sport. As in the case of the women football players, they enjoy being able to socialize with people who share their same interests during social events sponsored by the tournament organizers. They travel as teams, and along with these teams comes family and friends, which in turn bring along more economic impact for the community hosting the event."

From the Paper
"In 1988, tourism once again began a rise. This time, however, the crisis in the Middle East that eventually erupted into the Gulf War brought tourism to a screeching halt. When the Gulf War ended, tourism was once again expected to begin a growth phase. By that time, however, the United States had entered into another economic recession, and economic activity in most of the other industrial nations had begun to slow. At that time, recovery in the travel industry was not expected to occur until the mid-1990s."

From the Paper
"An effective capital management plan is needed in order to ensure that the company is able to sufficiently address its operational needs, exploit it growth prospects, and meet its current liabilities (McClure, 2003). Without adequate cash flows, Lawrence will be unable to pay its suppliers, which will ultimately negatively impact on its business relationships, thereby cutting off supplies of necessary raw materials and souring growth prospects dependent on those suppliers. Conversely, if Lawrence borrowed excessively to meet liabilities, and then sales slowed, the company could ultimately fail to pay long term and short term debts."

K-12 School Sports Activities, 2008.
This paper discusses the problem of normativity and exclusion in K-12 school sports activities.

Abstract
This paper reports that, at a parent-teacher meeting, several issues relating to sports activities involving exclusion based on race, gender and disabilities were argued. The author points out that the perceptions of one side were that the school operates on a hierarchy of priorities, discriminating in favor of white males. The paper states that the assertion of the other group was that none of the issues apply since the only institutional goal is to prevent obesity. The author stresses that the relevant ethical principles for this situation were justice, benevolence and respect for persons. The paper highlights that the new standards such as physical activity and sports will become a self-management program in which every child should realize that the program is to be incorporated into their life plan.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to Foucault, ethics is best defined as "a critical self-reflective practice". Based on this, the goals are to establish the ethical principles that will allow physical activity and sport to take place with the least amount of control. If the main objective is to fight obesity, then the activity should be paramount, flexible, and requires few formal rules or structure. Once the rationale for sport is clarified, then the emphasis on competition and all the disciplinary and regulatory practices that center on the idea of winning will be eliminated."

Crisis Management, 2004.
An analysis of communication strategies used in crisis management.

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of crisis management in sports marketing operations. The paper describes how sports organizations can use communications strategies to combat the negative effects of a crisis situation. The paper contends that, by using effective crisis management models, sports organizations are better prepared to identify 'spot fires,' which will enable marketers to extinguish the flames before they damage the organization's reputation.
From the Paper
"One of the most important aspects of crisis management is the development and implementation of a theoretical and effective media relations campaign (O'Bierne and Ries, 2002). The media plays a key role in an organization's attempt to send key messages to the publics. On the flip side, it can also send negative and damaging messages, particularly when there is a crisis or scandal involved. The media's ability to jump on a story as soon as it happens has forced sports organizations to develop crisis strategies that can be launched just as quickly as the media can report the news (Fink, 1986)."

From the Paper
"We may not have the Circus Maximus, but Americans come close. Not only do sports enjoy a special status in the hearts of Americans, it turns out that sports franchises do too. New sports facilities costing at least $200 million each have been completed or are under way in Baltimore, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Nashville, San Francisco, St. Louis, Seattle, Tampa, and Washington, D.C., and are in the planning stages in Boston, Dallas, Minneapolis, New York, and Pittsburgh. Major stadium renovations have been undertaken in Jacksonville and Oakland. Industry experts estimate that more than $7 billion will be spent on new facilities for professional sports teams before 2006. Most of this $7 billion will come from public sources. The subsidy starts with the federal government, which allows state and local governments to issue tax-exempt bonds to help finance sports facilities. While major sports franchises across the country are reaping the benefits of taxpayer-financed arenas in which to compete, the debate continues about the appropriateness of providing such enormous amounts of resources for the reasons provided by the promoters."

Business Management and Athletic Coaches, 1991.

From the Paper
"There is clearly a correlation between what it takes to be an effective manager of people in a work environment and that of a coach in an athletic environment. Many writers in both the business and sports fields have made note of this parallel between management and coaching. For example, Dr. T. F. Gautschi, business consultant and professor at Bryant College in Rhode Island, has pointed out that there is a similarity between the skills that are involved in management and those which are required for effective coaching. In Gautschi's opinion, managers can think of their role as being like that of coaches, and for this reason "sports analogies have direct applications to the business world". Likewise, Homer Rice, athletic director at Georgia Tech College, has claimed that coaching is "more related to the business area" than it is to ... "

Abstract
A paper about sports history, a comparison between ancient sports and modern sports of today. The author looks at aspects such as the sports played, how they were played, their technological differences and how their symbolic and societal meanings differ.
From the Paper
"Sports in the ancient world had their similarities to modern sports, but there are a few differences as well. In modern sports, there is more attention to detail when preparing fields for play, but nonetheless there are numerous amounts of workers who prepare the fields that athletes play on. In modern sports, nearly every sport has their schedules devised much before the season even begins. Although not all sports had officials at that time, there were people who kept order. In ancient sports, there were no records that were kept of ongoing statistics. Without role players, teams could not play to their optimum levels at all times."
