Assignment
To be an effective sport leader and manager requires many attributes and skills, as we have learned in this unit. A great way to network and to learn about what it takes to be an effective and successful leader in sports is to interview someone in the sport industry. Through this experience, you will gain knowledge and information on the daily tasks, roles, and responsibilities to make your way in the sporting environment.
For this assignment, you are asked to visit a local facility in your area to view the operations and procedures performed at the facility and to conduct a personal interview with the director or manager.
Contact this person, and schedule a day and time for this visit. If this is not an option for you, you may elect to conduct a personal interview with the director or manager via phone, email, Skype, Zoom, Join Me, or any other conference-friendly application that will yield the answers to questions posed in the interview. Create at least 10 questions to ask this individual.
The following sport-related topics are suggestions that may assist you as you generate your questions:
- sport management theories;
- responsibilities and duties;
- best practices in sport;
- leadership strategies;
- management concepts;
- labor-management relations;
- organizational management and behavior in sport;
- effects of politics, media, globalization, and the economy in sport;
- ethical issues in sport management; and
- skills required in the sport industry.
Please provide the answers to the questions you ask the interviewee, and include a section that discusses how this experience has helped you in your educational journey to better understand sport management, leadership, and best practices in sport.
Include the following elements in your project:
- Title page: Include your name, the assignment title, and the name of the university.

- Reference page: If you use content from the textbook, be sure to include this as a source on your reference page. Your paper should be a minimum of two pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages.
Your paper should be typed in 12-point, Times New Roman font; be double-spaced; and include page headers. References and in-text citations should be formatted using APA style.
