While many confuse sports as purely a form of entertainment, in reality, sports are big business. By 2019, accounting firm Price Waterhouse Cooper estimates the global sports industry will be worth upwards of 73.5 billion dollars. From high school sports to international events like NFL London and Olympic governing bodies – every event and organization contributes to the global sports phenomenon.
Inside every event, team, and organization there is a need for professionals skilled in the art of management, fund-raising, marketing, human resources, customer service, event management, and more.
At SMWW, we'll teach you the skills needed to thrive in sports business and administration.
