e) Future growth/decline in job
The chances of this professions declining are very very slim because of the fact that it is, in most organizations, the back bone or foundation is said success. Therefore it is more likely for this occupation to flourish in the years to come.
The job of an Editorial Specialist (ES) is a very broad and general and can be translated to virtually any industry. ESs plan, coordinate, or edit content of material for publication. May review proposals and drafts for possible publication. Includes technical editors. They are responsible for collecting information about every aspect of a given career and their clients, both internal and external and then translating that information to the different groups in the public as it relates to said career. In this context, sports, the job of an editorial specialist is very important. They are the primary means of communication between an athlete or group of athletes and their support team, i.e. Website administrator, project officer, brad agent etc.. Similar to the traditional role of an editor, the ES is responsible for how information and tasks are given to everyone surround the athlete/athletes. Everything concerning the athlete must be put past the ES in order for the proper communication of the information. There is no exact average salary for the position of ES, however the average salary of the job title of Editor is $59,340 a year. Given that the job is so general and can be applied to many different industries the salaries range depending on the career it all depends on the amount of the numerous capacities the employer wants the ES to work in.
ReplyDeleteSince the job of ES is a communication job it would only make sense that that would be the path one would take in education. From creative writing to journalism and even literature are just a few of the majors one can take in university in order to land this job. A Ba in any of the communication related majors are required to get this position.
The job of an ES is extremely versatile and broad which makes the demand of it very promising, however this job is only as good as the industry it is in. So to have this job in sports it will continue to grow as long as there are athletes. For specifically judo, this job will grow tremendously fast as the sport continues to spread and become bigger in different countries.

Sports Brand Agent
ReplyDeleteA) Job Description – A sports brand agent represents and promotes amateur and professional athletes when dealing with prospective teams in tournaments. They handle contract negotiations and other business matters on behalf of the athlete when dealing with performance contracts, as well as activities that generate income for the athlete, such as public media appearances, marketing, advertising, and endorsements. They communicate actions taken on behalf of the athlete, they negotiate with managers, promoters, union officials etc. regarding the athlete’s contractual rights and obligations. They schedule promotional or performance engagements for the athlete, they provide the athlete with legal and financial advice and they also hire trainers and coaches to advise the athlete on performance related matters. (http://www.academicinvest.com/business-careers/marketing-careers/how-to-become-a-sports-agent)
B) Salary Range name the source (USA/Canada/UK salaries are acceptable) – According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, Sports Brand Agents earn an annual mean salary of $88,620. The lowest 10% of salaries are less than $27,500, and the highest 10% are higher than $110,550 per year. (http://www.academicinvest.com/business-careers/marketing-careers/how-to-become-a-sports-agent) The amount an agent earns in commission depends largely on the average player salaries of the sport he represents. Because of salary caps, however, the highest-paid players don’t necessarily correspond with the highest-paid agents. In the NFL, players can earn anywhere from $375,000 to $20 million from a playing contract, meaning the agent can earn between $11,250 and $600,000 per player. In MLB, with no commission limits, players earn between $400,000 and $32 million, and agents pull in anywhere from $16,000 and $4 million (http://work.chron.com/average-sports-agents-commission-21083.html)
C) Education Requirements – In order to become a sports brand agent, you must have a bachelor’s degree in sports management and also proceed to earning a master’s degree in sports management. Enrolling in law school will provide the technical knowledge to aid in reading the “legalese” of a contract as well as negotiating said contract on behalf of the athlete they represent (law school not a requirement, but it would be good to enroll). Lastly, get your sports agent license to become a licensed sports brand agent. (http://www.sportsmanagementdegreehub.com/how-do-i-become-a-sports-agent/)
D) Career Path – The career path for becoming a sports brand agent basically starts at high school because you have to maintain good grades to get into a good college. From high school we move on to college, where you major in sports management. From getting your degree in college you move on to getting your license/certification to become a licensed sports brand agent. After becoming certified, you obtain clients. It may be advisable to begin your career with an established sport management or marketing firm. The firms generally have established contacts in the field and can provide you with leads and introductions. Never stop networking, attend events where players and other important individuals generally are found. Talk with your colleagues. Meet coaches, general managers, owners and executives. Always present yourself as you would to a potential client because you never know when you are actually talking to one. Attend scouting events, minor league sporting events and games, collegiate games. (http://www.collegecrunch.org/jobs/how-to-prepare-for-a-career-as-an-athlete-agent-sports-agent/)
ReplyDeleteE) Future decline/ growth - The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the disparity in earnings between careers as agents and careers in promoting. The mean annual wage in 2011 of agents and promoters was $92,250. This figure is based on mean annual wage of $102,240 for agents and $65,140 for promoters. The income potential for sports management drops significantly if pursuing a career as a coach or scout. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data for 2010 shows that in 2010, the median pay for coaches and scouts was $28,340 per year. Obviously, coaches and scouts for professional and high-profile college teams will earn amounts significantly in excess of this number. The future for sports management is very bright. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is predicting an increase of 29% in jobs in agents and managers of athletes through 2016.

In order to become a sports analyst, a person must combine a deep passion for sports with a comprehensive knowledge of his or her subject. In addition, a sports analyst must be comfortable writing or speaking about their opinions and research, whether with coaches, through a newspaper article, or on television. Some of the important steps needed to become a sports analyst include getting a college education in a relevant field, gaining practical training as a coach, athlete, or sports professional, choosing the right medium for a career, and focusing on a specific sport. Most sports analysts have some type of formal education in a related field. Majoring in broadcasting, journalism, mass media, or communications can all provide an excellent background for a sports analyst. Some analysts also choose to major or minor in mathematics or statistics, which allows them to hone their analysis skills from a technical standpoint. In many cases, a bachelor's degree is sufficient for a student who wants to become a sports analyst. Alternatively, some sports analysts can eschew educational training if they work as professional or high-level college athletes or coaches. During the game's broadcast, an analyst, also known as a color commentator, works closely with the play-by-play person to provide insight between plays. After the game, sports analysts break down the action and provide further information, interviews and insight.

Team Manager
ReplyDeleteJob Description-
Also called a sports manager or general manager, the team manager does just as the name states- they manage the team they have been hired for. The team manager handles all of the team's business, making trades, drafts, signing free agents and determining the total budget for the team.
They purchase the gear, sign the endorsement deals- just about anything that has to do with the team's money, the team manager is in control of. The team manager has a very sensitive job, as they must please the owners of the team while at the same time not upsetting the players. The team manager also deals with public relations in regards to their decisions, so they must answer to the press for every move they make without revealing too much.
Salary Range-
On average, team managers make roughly $55,000. This is very much dependant upon the popularity and income of the team, with high profile teams such as the Miami Heat being able to pay their team managers almost $1 million per year.
Educational Requirements-
Though some sort of business and physical education degree may be greatly appreciated, no real educational background is necessary to be a team manager. What is important is that the manager have a strong background in the sport they are working in and have experience with team administration. With higher level management such as with professional sports teams, a degree in business is recommended.
Career path-
Most team managers begin as assistant managers to local teams to gain experience before managing their own team and some go on to manage bigger and bigger teams.
Future growth/decline in job-
Though itself a standalone job, being a team manager often opens doors into larger roles such as team ownership, or even specialist roles for large teams such as equipment managers and directors of sports media relations.
Not a very physically demanding or volatile job (though possibly mentally taxing), this position can be held by the same person for a very long time. Today, organizations are only becoming more structured. Management positions such as this will only increase in necessity and as such the demand for employees in this field and its branches is likely to increase.

A. What do they do?
A sports administrator is one who ensures the overall operation of a sports program, and covers a wide variety of jobs related to the operation of the Sports Program. Sports administrators have a similar range of responsibilities to administrators in other fields, but usually focus on organising events and running sports facilities. Additional duties are likely to include promotion of the services of their club, responding to users, fundraising, and possibly working with budgets and dealing with supply chain management. There are often opportunities to take on higher levels of responsibility fairly quickly. Their job can also include organising meetings, training, coaching, festivals, conferences, promotion of sport in schools and working with students or young people.

A. A sports agent’s job is to promote an athlete or products related to that athlete to endorse the athlete’s career within his or her given sport. Meaning that the sports agent is responsible for meeting with team owners, managers, coaches and other individuals to promote the athlete that they represent. It is not uncommon to find a sports agent working on weekends and holidays as well. A sports agent’s job primarily involves networking, talking with other professionals in the sport being up-to-date with current trends and information that may affect decisions that the agent recommends to the athlete.
B. The salary given to sports agents varies widely depending on where it is you find employment. For example, a sports agent working for the All American Tickets company in Los Angeles would make around $34,000 a year. However, a sports agent who works for the CSMG company in Chicago, Illinois would make around $90,000 each year. However, working for a major national sports company like the National Football League could result in a max salary of $20,000
C. To qualify as a sports agent one must first have a four-year bachelor degree. After which time a sports agent would be legible to work mostly anywhere in the world. It would also give a sports agent a competitive edge to have acquired a law degree.
D. The main responsibility of a sports agent is to network and build connections for the sports person or sports person’s products that they seek to promote. Thus, the sports agent’s main priority is to sign contracts with people that could really enhance the sports person’s career. The path to becoming a good sports agent is to build a large network of connections and to sell the sports person as best a possible.
E. The job of being a sports agent is very rewarding but it is also extremely competitive. The market for them may not be best at this time. For example, there were at least 1,100 sports agents qualified for the National Basketball Association but did not have a single client.

Many courses start their caddies off at the B level, and after a year move them to A, and on their fourth year (if they have earned it), they will receive the title of Honor caddy. The intermediate and captain ranks can usually be obtained within the first year of caddying, and the honor rank is usually obtained in the second or third year of caddying. Championship takes at least 6 years and often as many as 10 years to obtain. The Career path of becoming a professional golf caddy begins with you. Start as young as possible. Learn about caddying at a local country club that has a caddy program or a caddy school. Explore the world of caddying at the Web site of the Professional Caddies Association. Work as a caddy as a summer job or even full time job at year around resorts. Network wherever you caddy or play. In the effort to become a PGA caddy, developing contacts is critical. Consider trying to find employment on the Nationwide Tour, the Hooter's Tour or even the European Tour. Competition is not as keen for caddy positions on these tours, and hooking up with a young professional on his way to the PGA Tour is a possibility. Make yourself available because an opportunity may arise at any moment. This may mean working in jobs other than caddying to remain close to the game.
