I am interested in policy, funding and sport development but most career resources focus on teams and leagues. What types of organizations and roles should I be looking at?
SPMA provides a practical starting answer. Add first-hand experience, a different perspective or a useful example from the industry.
Look at municipal, provincial/state and federal departments, sport ministries, parks and recreation systems, national and regional sport organizations, Olympic/Paralympic bodies, funding agencies and policy or research organizations. Roles can involve program development, grants, facilities, participation, events, governance, policy and community partnerships. A background in public administration, policy, research, recreation or sport management can all be relevant. If this area interests you, learn how public funding and accountability shape decisions because the stakeholder environment is different from a professional team.
