• India is fast evolving as a sporting nation
  beyond the ones that it is known for over the
  years. Our forays into track and ?eld, archery,
  tennis, golf and many other lesser-known sports
  are quite commendable. And fast growing
  alongside this is Sports Management!
• The plug-and-play model for Sports Management in
  India has can be somewhat standardized as below
  -
• Talent Scout - Schools need to be incentivised to
  provide avenues for students to explore their
  potential dabble in multiple disciplines of the
  sport. A nationwide talent search every 2
  years or so would further encourage to identify
  the right talent early on.
• Training Infrastructure Management-
  Infrastructure needs to move closer to the talent
  or provide talent with viable access to
  state-of-the-art facilities to build the talent
  portfolio.
• Event Hospitality Management- Building the
  competitive edge requires creating avenues and
  events around the sport and creating greater
  awareness among spectators of the sport. This
  would also open up avenues for sports hospitality
  management.
• Coach/ Support Sta? / Sponsor Management- Some
  sports such as Badminton, Cricket, Hockey, chess
  etc have been well entrenched in India. It is the
  lesser-known sports that would need greater
  attention as the potential and performance Gap
  among athletes would help prepare a pipeline for
  the years ahead.
