Описание: The sports industry had impressive global growth over the years, with factors from the introduction of e-sports and new streaming and viewing methods to sponsorships and digital media contributing to its rise. However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought upon a rapid change in this sector. Sports' seasons ended abruptly, people's escape from reality suddenly vanished, their spending attitudes changed, live games and commercial flights were suspended, hotels were impossible to book, and consumers practically turned into prisoners within their own homes. No live sports matches were to follow on any media either, so specialized sports channels were forced to play old recordings rather than broadcasting new events. Even athletes themselves struggle to stay relevant and thus, try to utilize creative methods to enhance their brand value in these difficult times. With most of the sports leagues shut down during the pandemic, with a few exceptions which performed in empty venues, the restrictions diminished the sports experience compared to the pre-COVID-19 era and the impacts were widespread.
Impacts and Implications for the Sports Industry in the Post-COVID-19 Era explores the changes that have been and will continue to be created by the unexpected disruptions that occurred as a result of the pandemic within the sports industry, fans consumption, and recreational habits. The chapters explore the status of sports after the pandemic, paths to recovery, and the future of sports, along with the many impacts and issues that have arisen due to changes in the industry necessitated by COVID-19.
Covering important topics such as mental health, impacts on athletes and coaches, the market value for professional sports, consumer behavior during COVID-19, and the changes in marketing, tourism, and business, this book is ideally intended for sports managers, marketers, broadcasting agencies, media specialists, brand managers, fitness professionals, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the impacts on the sports industry and the outlook for sports in the post-COVID-19 era.

Sport volunteering is becoming an increasingly popular motive for international travel. Many tourism organisations now advertise sport volunteering projects, with colleges and universities also offering students the opportunity to participate in similar projects abroad.

Описание:
Twenty years of professionalism has seen rugby union undergo dramatic transformations, from changes to everyday training cultures to the growth of the Rugby World Cup into one of the largest global sporting events. The Rugby World in the Professional Era is the first book to examine the effect that professionalism has had across a number of different aspects of the game and the wider socio-cultural significance of these changes through case studies from across the globe.
Drawing on contributions from scholars from across the rugby-playing world, the book explores the role of rugby's professionalisation through a number of social-scientific lenses, including:
labour migration
race and indigenous populations
the globalisation of the game
mega-event management
male sexualities
media representations of rugby - from broadcasting matches to rugby in museums and on stage and screen
Offering insights into under-researched areas of the sport, such as the growth of Rugby Sevens into an Olympic sport, and providing the most up-to-date recent history of the sport available, The Rugby World in the Professional Era is essential reading for anyone with an academic interest in rugby, and any student or scholar with interests in sports history, sports sociology, sport management or the economics of professional sport.

Extract from the Introduction by Rod Hore
As an external advisor, Craig has observed organisations that lose momentum and plateau.
Loss of momentum often occurs when the size of the organisation grows beyond what can be controlled and managed by the founders' personal influence and enthusiasm. For many service organisations, this stagnation can be when an 6 organisation grows to the point where structural changes are needed in terms of leadership, internal recruitment, sales, and commercial capability. Business performance can also be reduced by changes in the market, major client movement, leadership or shareholder changes, or even new competition.
These are the business owners that will benefit most from this book. Those who are starting out in business will also benefit from the clarity and structure provided here.
Craig articulates his strategy for building sustainable and growing organisations. The Five Pillars approach in Scaling New Heights is an inspiring read from cover to cover. However, it is cleverly written in bite-sized topics that can be easily digested by a busy company owner when a particular issue requires attention. Complimented by interviews and action lists, this is a book that sits on the owner's desk and never gathers dust.
Business owners know that it is hard to attract, develop and hold the essential talent, especially emerging leaders. If the business is not engaged, successful and moving towards a common goal, then talent will move. Without an engaged team, success is not possible. If your business stagnates, Scaling New Heights will help you regain focus to reap the rewards you deserve.
