Business and Sport
The objective of the course is to explore the technical and practical aspects between Business and Sport. Specifically, we will explain the key points for managing an athlete, identify the key individuals that manage them, and outline the methods of how they do so. We will then delve into what motivates Investors (Entrepreneurs or Companies) to invest in sports and what the economic returns are. Furthermore, we will address the topic of sustainability in the world of Sports, seeking to understand how it can be improved in this industry. Finally, we will examine the new digital technologies that are applied in various sports, such as football. Following each lesson, there will be a brief encounter with some professional profiles in the world of Sports, who will share their own experiences.
