Our Sports Administration Course Will Help You Build Your Future

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.

Led by Dr. James Krause President of Winning Sports Solutions and Dr. Lynn Lashbrook, founder of Sports Management Worldwide, our 8-week online Sports Administration course is designed to help you advance your career as an executive within sports organizations big and small.
