Reihe: Foundations of Sport Management

Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, this is still the only textbook to introduce best management practice, process and policy in elite and high-performance sport (HPS). Drawing on real-world case studies of elite sport around the world, this book outlines a conceptual framework for studying and analysing HPS and introduces the skills and techniques that managers and administrators will need to develop effective HPS programmes.
Covering the macro-level factors that determine a nation’s sporting success, from policy development to measurement and evaluation, this book also unpacks the specifics of elite athlete and team management at a micro level. Covering key themes from leadership and coaching to marketing and innovation, this new edition includes expanded coverage of contemporary issues such as managing interdisciplinary teams, athlete dual careers, HPS systems in less developed countries and high-performance parasport. This book features contributions from world-leading sport management academics as well as practitioners with experience in managing HPS programmes at world and Olympic levels, and each chapter includes a full range of useful features, such as summaries, case studies, review questions and guides to further reading.
This is essential reading for all students, policymakers and practitioners working in sport management or sport development.
