The use of Research in sports management. How effective is it?


Please contribute.

Could you explain what you mean? Research in sports can mean different things like researching your opponents, recruits, your teams performance etc.

exbogus sports management is when you manage sportsmen, like as an agent.

it might be useful, in the sense of case studies. like how some of the well known agencies (in not just sports but also entertainment) operate maybe also some type of behavioural science since you're dealing with people. apart from that, don't know what research you could use.

I personally believe research is compulsory in sports management if only to stay in business. As an agent, you need research into statistics to show that sports teams get better when they add your players to the team. As a manager of a sports team, you need research to show that your team would be the next dynasty so you can get sponsors. You need research to back your decisions, create your forecasts, and take calculated risks.

Research is one of the most important aspects of sports management if not the most important.
