Abstract

Today’s sport administrators are facing a plethora of issues. The very livelihood, survival, and future of many sport programs will depend on athletic administrators having a keen understanding of the key strategic issues. The future success of many interscholastic programs will depend on the ability of sport leaders to conceive and implement proactive, cost-effective solutions. As the sport industry grows, it is important for those in that field to understand and analyze current trends or issues that interscholastic athletics face. Information uncovering and exploring those issues deemed to be most pressing may help lead to the implementation of strategic plans to address these obstacles or properly handle difficult situations. This research will help leaders of sport maintain a vibrant and meaningful strategic map; meet evolving member expectations; and continue to provide valued resources, programs and services.
