WEEK 2: Sport management, mateship and money
From your understanding, what is the key difference between the mission for non-profit
sport and professional sport?
The impact of sports is immense within the Australian society and thus there has been
significant differences between the professional sports and non-profit sports. The non-profit
sports organisations are associated with the management of funds for delivering on the
mission, furthermore allow the sports companies to use those funds and resources for the
purpose of development and growth of the brand as well. The non-profit sports organisations
play a major role in marketing professional sports as well as create scopes and opportunities
for the emerging players to become successful in the future within the sports community
(Trendafilova & Babiak 2013, p. 20). Often the rising players who are incapable of making it
big due to some issues, the non-profit organisations have undertaken the responsibilities of
meeting their needs through supply of resources and ensured management of adequate
funding with support from the Government and regulatory bodies to create long lasting
positive impact on the sports persons within the Australian community,
The professional sports in Australia are mostly related to the sports activities linked
with big financial amounts. Here the athletes and sportspersons play for their country or club
for a significant amount of money and also to enhance the reputation of the sports within the
Australian society. The professional sporting prioritised on making money and manage
higher flow of cash to raise the level of income, wealth and also manage sponsorship with
broadcasting media channels (Taylor, Doherty & McGraw 2015). This has also enabled better
media coverage as well as drew greater profit from the professional sports industry too.
