Sport Law: A Managerial Approach by Linda Sharp

Sport Law: A Managerial Approach by Linda Sharp

Sport Law: A Managerial Approach, third edition, merges law and sport management in a way that is accessible and straightforward. Its organization continues to revolve around management functions rather than legal theory. Concise explanations, coupled with relevant industry examples and cases, give readers just enough legal doctrine to understand the important concepts that apply to each area. This book will help prepare students as they get ready to assume a broad range of responsibilities in sport, education, or recreation.

Whether readers work as coaches or teachers; administer professional programs; manage fitness/health clubs; or assume roles in a high school, college, Olympic, or professional sport organization, legal concerns will inevitably be woven into their managerial concerns. This book provides knowledge of the law that helps create a competitive advantage and build a more efficient and successful operation that better serves the needs of its constituents.Special Features of the Book

I'm a former educator. I've earned an associate's degree in Early Childhood Education. I reside in Euclid, Ohio. I've been married for twenty six years to Jerry L. Sharp. I'm a mother of two, and a grandmother of three. My love for writing began as a teenager. I dreamed that one day I would have a career as a writer. I wanted to write novels and children books. But my writing took a back seat. I decided to have a career in education. My passion for writing returned thanks to the inspiration of a church member. I write to glorify God and spread the message of Jesus Christ.
