SPORTS MANAGEMENT - A MODEL OF PROFESSIONAL DIVERSIFICATION IN SPORTS SCIENCES STUDIES

Based on a historical analysis of the construction of sports sciences in France, the creation of degrees in Sports Management, about twenty years ago, appears as a successful example of professional diversification. This subject, numerically the most important, is built upon three skill domains, science, management and sport. The case study of the Sports Sciences Faculty of Lille will make it possible to highlight the objectives and the training programmes that we are to analyse today. The consideration of the possibility of a European model will allow us to identify the strengths and the weaknesses of the current training programmes.
