Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Parks, Recreation and Tourism

Description:

Is sport good for us? It is often assumed to have a positive effect on youth development and athletes' health overall. However, sport is also replete with examples of injury, concussions, eating disorders, abuse, and burnout. Sport managers need to understand how sport can impact athletes' physical, mental, and emotional health so they can develop appropriate programming for participants and effective training for staff. This course will explore the health effects of sport across the lifespan, and introduce students to theories and strategies for managing sport to maximize the beneficial health effects of sport and minimize the negative. Students will develop applied sport management skills through practical case-based coursework.
