Sport Management: Full Lecture Course

A free short course by Sportal Corporate — not a credit-bearing university award.

7h 53m of video12 videos17 written lessons

A complete university lecture course in sport management — history, management, marketing, finance, law, ethics, facilities, events, sponsorship and IP.

Twelve full-length lectures cover the history of sport management, then management and marketing principles applied to sport, finance and economics, legal and ethical principles, facility management, event management, sport sales and sponsorship, two lectures on intellectual property, and sports violence and liability. It is the closest thing here to sitting a semester of a sport management degree.

Recorded in 2016, and the legal lectures teach United States law — both are stated on the lessons themselves so nothing is passed off as current or universal. It suits students wanting the full arc of the discipline in one place, and professionals filling gaps. Lessons are long; expect to work through it over weeks. A ten-question quiz at 80% earns a verifiable certificate.
