“…With the enormous growth of sport management programs being offered in the United States, it may be a concern that there are simply too many programs producing too many graduates for the available jobs in the industry. Sport management as an academic major did not exist until the late 1960's (Masteralexis, et al, 2009) but the growth of programs, however has increased significantly. Further, in competing for jobs in sport, students in other related degrees and majors such as marketing, communications, etc., also compete with sport management majors for jobs in the field.…”

“…While females have experienced increased access to male-dominated academic fields such as medicine (51% female) and other health science programs (53%), female enrollment in sport management academia is not equivalent to their male peers. Sport management is an academic degree that is noted as one that prepares students for the sport industry (Masteralexis, Barr, & Hums, 2009) as it is a specific sport degree that gets students ready for the uniqueness or "intricacies peculiar to the sport industry" (p. 19). The sport-specific curriculum has evolved extensively due to the exponential growth of the industry and the need for a systematic academic program to educate future sport professionals.…”

Women continue to be underrepresented in the management and leadership ranks of sport. Researchers have worked towards understanding the various challenges and barriers women face in the sport industry. This study sought to expand that research taking a new angle to explore the underrepresentation of women in sport by examining female undergraduates' perceptions of their future careers within the sport industry. Three focus groups with a total of 16 participants were utilized to gather data. Two investigators coded and searched for emerging themes from the focus group transcripts. The following themes emerged in this study: (a) perceptions regarding potential job discrimination (i.e., gender stereotypes, gender discrimination), (b) perceptions regarding industry-specific concerns (i.e., difficulty networking, job market constraints, long work hours, low salary range, multiple-role conflict, excitement regarding entrance into the field), and (c) overall excitement regarding future careers in sport.

When implemented strategically, sports can address various socio‐economic challenges and contribute to improving the well‐being of individuals and communities. This study explores the perceptions of citizens on the capabilities of sports in its present state in Ghana as an option for poverty reduction strategy. The researchers combined both qualitative and quantitative approaches, methodologies and techniques in this study. The researchers made use of questionnaires and interviews to gather data for this study. The study implored the integration of data methods by using sequential approach, and the six steps of thematic analysis proposed by Braun and Clarke (2012, Thematic analysis, American Psychological Association) in the data analysis. The research recognised that participation in sports can improve one's health, give one life skills and foster a sense of community togetherness. However, given the weak foundation for sports development in Ghana, the current situation of sports in the country cannot be used as a strategy for reducing poverty.
