EHF Youth Sports Leadership Programme
An Erasmus + project
The Sports Leadership Institute is currently involved in an Erasmus + project to develop a Youth Sports Leadership Programme for the European Hockey Federation. The desire is to tailor a comprehensive curriculum which will cover the multi functional sector of sports administration and governance. The result will be an european sport leadership training covering multiple days over a longer period where formal learning with on-the-job learning experiences will be combined.
Sharjah Sports Leadership Programme
Accelerating young female talent
One of our most recent custom built programmes is the Sharjah Sports Leadership Programme. The SLI has been commissioned by Sharjah Capability Development (SCD) and Sharjah Womens Sports to develop a custom made programme for 34 young female talents who are involved in the sports field and is aimed at developing leadership skills in 3 specific tracks (which are sports marketing and sponsorship, talent scouting and nurturing, sports admin and governance). Such skills are developed through sessions that contribute to increasing awareness of the level of challenges that female athletes face in various tracks of their sports career, and the devising of ways and means to address these challenges, in order to reach the desired solutions. In addition, the sessions also focus on spreading awareness on the multiple impacts of sports activity on all sectors of society, whether through the establishment of effective partnerships with sports councils, clubs, and federations, or by embodying the holistic concept of the sports sector, and not merely understand sports as just a competitive activity whose impact ends with the end of the competition in the arena.
