Sports Development Manager

A Sports Development Manager oversees the promotion of a sport or sporting organisation. You might promote the sport within the community by conducting activity sessions or target particular groups such as school students or sporting clubs. Sports Development Managers might focus on increasing participant numbers, improving player skills or boosting the sport’s public image. You might work with beginning players or develop the abilities of more experienced players.

Sports Development Managers should be passionate about their sport and be knowledgeable about its development. It’s important that you are a strong leader and can communicate well with people from a range of backgrounds. You’ll need good interpersonal skills and should enjoy interacting with other people.
