General Explanation

International audience This article deals with the economics of professional sport in Europe. Its objective is twofold: firstly, to propose a "vertical" vision, from production to the necessary regulation, including the study of the conditions for monetising sports shows produced by professional sports clubs in Europe; secondly, to put forward a general explanation for the persistence of deficits (DNCG data and similar organisations) of many of these clubs. This article deliberately places itself, unlike many other contributions, in a global (macroeconomic) perspective. It underlines: the universality and singularity of the production of sports shows, the specific conditions of their monetisation; presents, the origin of the deficits and the means nowadays chosen by professional clubs to try to cope with them and finally leads to an original proposal for regulation. Cet article traite de l'économie du sport professionnel en Europe. Son objectif est double : en premier lieu, proposer une vision « verticale », allant de la production à la nécessaire régulation, en passant par l'étude des conditions de monétisation des spectacles sportifs réalisés par les clubs sportifs professionnels en Europe ; en second lieu, mettre en avant une explication générale de la persistance des déficits (données DNCG et organismes similaires) de nombreux de ces clubs. Cet article se place délibérément, à la différence de nombreuses autres contributions, dans une perspective globale (macroéconomique). Il souligne : l'universalité et la singularité de la production des spectacles sportifs, les conditions spécifiques de leur monétisation ; présente, l'origine des déficits et les moyens aujourd'hui choisis par les clubs professionnels pour essayer d'y faire face et débouche finalement sur une proposition originale de régulation.

The use and integration of wearable technology (wearables) into professional sports is increasing rapidly. At a minimum, the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS have all integrated wearables into their training. Teams’ hope the biometric data obtained from the wearables will sharpen athletic performance, create competitive advantages, enhance fan experience, and generate new revenue streams. However, to obtain these desired outcomes leagues must adequately protect their athlete’s biometric data (ABD).  The purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the CBAs of the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS management of wearables and ABD. Specifically, this paper will discuss the potential gaps in protection of ABD within the CBA and explore whether federal and state laws are applicable to protect the data. Findings from this analysis improve our understanding of professional sport leagues management of ABD and expose the limitations of protection at the league, state, and federal level.

Abstract The objective of this study is to examine and analyze skills of the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of professional sports clubs and to present and suggest an appropriate skills model for managers. The respondents of this study are all the managers in different managerial levels of Sepahan, Zob Ahan, Foolad e Mahan and Giti Pasand clubs in Isfahan Province. Validity of the questionnaire, which was made by the researchers and contained 19 questions with Likert 5sclaes, was approved by 15 professionals and professors in the field and using Cronbach Alpha Coefficient test, its stability was α = 0.97. Questionnaires were distributed among 83 managers of different units of the specific clubs and 76 questionnaires (91.5%) were returned as answered. Structural equation modeling and Amos16 Software were used for data analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The results of the research showed all four Conceptual, Human, Technical and Political factors are significant skills for managers and suitability factors/indexes of the confirmatory factor model of the study had also proved these factors. The final design of this study demonstrates the existing high level of interaction among skills; as such managers need to be capable of all four skills and work toward improvement of the skills they are less capable of, because the high interaction of the skills with one another in this study’s model proves that weakness in one skill will cause less and lower capability level in other managerial skills.

Three years ago, Steve Thornton purchased the South End Mustangs, a professional ice hockey team competing in the D1 division in the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, Thornton has experienced challenging times during his ownership tenure. The team has achieved mediocre results on the ice and poor results off the ice. Thornton knows he needs help to turn the Mustangs franchise around. Thus, as a result, he turns to John Tapner, a sport business owner, operator, entrepreneur, and advisor. Tapner is best known as a professional sport consultant and TV personality, representing his company Sports Rescue, which is the same name as his hit television show. When an owner calls Tapner, it is because a professional sports team is in trouble and needs to be rescued.

Insight Into

The challenges encountered by sport psychologists operating within elite and professional sports teams have arguably been inadequately considered (Nesti, 2010). It has been suggested that this may be due to the inaccessibility of elite team environments (Eubank, Nesti, & Cruickshank, 2014; Nesti, 2010). The purpose of this research was to examine the challenges facing practitioners who operate in elite environments and to illuminate how these were experienced. Qualitative interviews with six experienced applied sport psychologists were conducted and a narrative themed analysis undertaken. Four main themes emerged as most prevalent and meaningful: challenges to congruence, a broader role: managing multiple relationships, the influence of elite sport cultures, and surviving and thriving were presented in narrative form. Practitioners provided experiential insight into how specific challenges were understood and dealt with, and how they are able to provide an effective service while managing themselves and the demands of the environment.
