“…In terms of innovation, our results are in line with those obtained by previous researchers who investigated coaches’ perceptions of innovative programmes implemented by the RFET and concluded that coaches identified a participation grassroots and a coach education programme as the most relevant of all those implemented. 58 However, the views of the coaches that COVID-19 had negatively affected the innovation strategy and capability of the organization were stronger that those found in this study.…”

The purpose of this study was to contribute to the understanding of innovation and crowdfunding of International Olympic Sport Federations (IFs), which are the world governing bodies of their respective sports. Three research questions were addressed: the perceptions of the IFs on the implementation of their innovation programmes during the last four years (2016–2020), the impact of COVID-19 on the IFs capability to innovate, and the crowdfunding strategies of the IFs. A mixed method combining qualitative and quantitative approaches was used. An online semi-structured questionnaire which included an open answer section was completed by IFs executives ( n = 22) and an analysis of the information provided by IFs through various content sources was conducted. Results showed that IFs with less funding had a significantly more innovative approach that their counterparts, that the perception of the impact of COVID-19 on the innovative capability was not unanimous, that they identified sport-specific programmes as the most innovative of all initiatives delivered during the pandemic, and that crowdfunding projects were implemented in their sport but mostly at individual and local levels. From a research perspective, since this is the first study that investigates the innovation and crowdfunding strategies of IFs, future directions include the need for further research with national and regional federations on these topics. Practical implications are suggested for IFs to deliver innovative programmes to satisfy their stakeholder needs and to consider new funding methods such as crowdfunding as part of their strategies.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the most relevant innovation strategies used by the Latin American national tennis federations as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology consists of a survey. The survey consisted of three sections apart from the consent one: a general descriptive part, one with 30 questions to assess attitudes and perceptions and a final section which included open questions. After the data were collected, the SPSS software was used to test the distribution of the sample.FindingsResults show that executives' perception toward their need for involvement in the decision-making process varies.Research limitations/implicationsThe first limitation relates to the sample size of executives who completed the questionnaire. The second limitation refers to the details provided in the open section of the questionnaire. Specifically, the space allocated for the answers and the degree of detail required could have been optimized by providing further instructions on the importance of facilitating information related to the implementation of the programs.Practical implicationsThe results demonstrate that, although traditional management, organizational and administrative behaviors are still present in the tennis ecosystem, a more innovative mentality should embed these organizations. It is then relevant that sport and tennis organizations commit to the implementation of innovative strategies for the optimization of the administration of their ecosystems.Originality/valueThe paper adds more understanding to the brand of sports management. Furthermore, the fact of developing the study in a COVID-19 context sheds light on the issues faced by sports in a pandemic like this one.

COACHING & SPORT SCIENCE REVIEWthe challenges posed by the pandemic. Different innovative actions that have used digital media, such as online training from home or distance learning, are allowing tennis activity to continue despite the great challenge we face (Crespo et al, 2021).The application of different digital marketing strategies in the field of tennis helps professionals to grow tennis in the context in which they operate, as well as improves their ability to generate business. Therefore, we believe it is crucial for the coach to be able to understand the key trends in the business world in general and in the digital marketing sector that are shaping the socio-economic landscape of tennis.In this context, it can be stated that digital marketing offers a great opportunity for tennis coaches to enhance their professional activity.

STUDIES ON DIGITAL MARKETING AND TENNISStudies on digital marketing and tennis have been varied as they have dealt with areas related to federations, tournaments, and coaches.
