Blogging Matters!!! : 'Sports Career'. What Do We Need? ( Part 1)

Day 52.

In this series of BM!!!, we'll be looking at the career prospects in the sports industry. We'll also be covering the requirements that exist to make sport a career. In this part I'll just give you a general idea of the careers in sports industry and the changing scenario. As I've already deliberated over some careers in my previous blogs, so my area of concern would revolve around the strategies to aide in making sports a career.

• When we think of sports, games like cricket, football, tennis, etc come to our mind. But, the industry of sports is like a gargantuan edifice and has a lot more hidden in it than just a game. This industry is impacted in some way or other by individual participation also. When we go to watch a cricket match, we buy tickets, we buy food items, memorabilia, or when we watch it on t.v., then also we pay our cable operator. All of this generates direct and indirect economic activity. And, the amplifying number of participants is a litmus test for the sports industry.
• Sports is a field based on mechanics. In addition to the traditional careers that most people think of, over the years this field in its amelioration has produced several specialized career prospects. There are sport scientist, physios, expert coaches, tournament managers, media managers, sponsorship managers, etc. The demand for these people has been on a constant rise in the industry of sports.
• In the constantly changing world of sports industry, televised broadcast of sports has come up with outside opportunities. 20 years back, sporting events were heard on the radio, then television took the ball and ran with it and now, we have different channels for different sports. All of these events have produced outside chances which I just wrote.
• The industry of sports is a competitive one. Apart from all the glitz, glamour and gold, the career that an individual pursues in this industry, whether it is in the broadcasting, media or in the business or in the coaching area, there is ample amount of competition that he/she will find surrounded by. However, on the positive side, a person can get a job in this industry or at least in some areas of it, if he/she can make use of their skills, but for that they have to start thinking in an ingenious way.

If sport is a career, then we need to get the hang of the requirement and how are we going to fulfill those requirements. Also, the loopholes that are present in our system. prevent the talented people from pursuing a career in the industry of sports.
This is the end of part 1, in part 2 of this series tomorrow, I'll talk about these points and more.
