Due to the nature of the sporting industry must be willing to work outside normal business hours from time to time such as evenings and weekends.
I am prepared to work non-standard hours as required by the position.
Experience coordinating and overseeing events and functions
I have extensive experience in competition and event management. I have been the competition director for the Brisbane Churches Touch Association (BCTA) for more than 10 years. The BCTA is by many measures the best touch football association in Brisbane and leads other associations in:
• Early adoption and use of bespoke IT solutions
• Excellent and supportive culture
• Value for money

I am experienced in dealing with state, national and international bodies. In all instances I have been able to successfully establish cordial relations and effective channels of communication. In the university environment, by developing relationships with other staff and units I reduced the average time to respond to student appeals and grievances from 41 working days to 15.
Ability to implement new initiatives and processes
The tertiary education environment is one of constant flux and I have considerable experience in implementing new initiatives and process, be they driven by technology, policy or external factors. One of my initiatives saw the average time taken to respond to appeals reduced form
41 days to 15, along with minimising problematic provisional enrolments.
I have developed my own sophisticated competition management spreadsheets, and (with a software developer) custom-built software systems which are far superior to any commercially available product. These systems are very efficient and provide a high level of functionality for team captains, officials and players. I am confident of my ability to not only to learn, but to significantly improve any current systems.
I am a flexible worker who is always willing to consider new ways of doing things. I am also familiar with working in a busy tertiary education environment, the competing pressures inherent in busy roles and environments where
In relation to the management of conflict the College has several inter-related procedures. The first and most important to this area is the Anti-Harassment procedure. This procedure deals with the steps, first informal and then formal, that a member of staff who feels they are being harassed can go down to resolve this conflict. Linked to this is the Disciplinary procedure under which action may be taken upon a successful Anti-Harassment complaint. For managers there is also the Poor Performance procedure should the conflict be in relation to the performance of a staff member. For conflicts in relation to employment matters, pay and grading issues the College has a Grievance procedure.

If the workplace of today could be characterized by a single theme, it would most likely focus on the continual presence of change. Dramatic changes in technology, the marketplace and the workforce have compelled organizations to re-evaluate not only the competitiveness of their products, but also the core ways in which work is performed. It is out of this pursuit for continued survival that organizations have been faced with the notion of varying work-schedules beyond the traditional hours of nine to five. This paper will explore the societal and business changes that have led to a proliferation in flexible work patterns. This paper will also address the benefits and disadvantages of flexible work patterns for
A very skilled event organiser can recognise not only the good things of their event but can also see those things that went wrong or didn’t come out as expected. In order to become a successful event organiser the organiser should be able to make fair judgements about the event and make improvements for the next time. The organiser should be objective about their judgements they should see the mistakes with his or her mind not with his or her feelings.
Though there have been so many factors to determine the success of a game especially in sports, there are only few that provide real life experience. With the growing gaming market and the increased number of gamers who are aware of the world market in games and sports, the requirements to keep up a competitive game system is essential to the business of gaming (Ruggill & McAllister, 2011).
Management of an athletics department is extremely tricky. One must balance different sports, while keeping in mind the importance of certain sports and the importance of others. One must keep focus throughout the programs in general. Not only the function of the facilities, but of the people who maintain them and our student athletes. Along with the general descriptions, one must steady the academic function and NCAA guidelines, keeping the program in equilibrium. In referencing Scehin, caution must be used to set your eyes on one style. The DEC management style, where in the sense that winning is the ultimate objective of your battle, and yelling your point across is the best way of doing this, is not the best style. The Ciba-Geigy style is excellent in communication with lateral movement, however the lateral parts must integrate and perform as one singular unit. However, the hierarchy of family structure is interesting. The subordinates must feel the compassion and understanding of a family structure, but also must recognize the hierarchy of the chain of the command. To call an athletics department a democracy would be a bit much. However, to have a council and discussion then to make a decision based on the collective benefits of all is the way my athletics department would be.
Throughout the Michigan Sports Business Conference, undergraduate and recently graduated students were able listen to an impressive list of speakers speak about the sports industry and the digital age. This conference was able to create a smart and innovative agenda where various facets of the sport industry were discussed. Since people are extremely passionate about sports and would love to work in this field when they graduate from any university, MSBC put together this conference to attract top sport executives like Jaymee Messler, Erik Sorenson, and David Bowman to educate and develop the potential leaders of this industry. While every speaker and panel was fascinating to listen to, the speaker that was most captivating and alluring was the final speaker of the day, Jaymee Messler.
In order to manage a professional sporting organization, you must treat it as a business.
The objective is to use flexible working as a tool and to formalise a strategy to assist with staff retention and enable the company to be more competitive in the employment market.
The study of sports analytics is a common strategy and performance tool for players and fans. Many professional athletes will study analytics to help improve their game. Not only do professional athletes use this to their advantage but fans and workers in the sports world can use it to study the game and make wise predictions. Sports analytics also provides an in-depth evaluation of how numbers can track a particular sport and helps us follow along to a closer degree. Sports analytics provides a strategy for studying player’s habits and the selected sport as well as digging deep into the root of the game and understanding it from an analytic point of view.

The career of a sport management professional offers a large number of various positions. One such career is that of a director who specializes in promotion and development. “Promotion and development directors are hired by sports teams and school athletic programs to design and implement promotional campaigns that will increase ticket sales” (Sports Management 1). The biggest part of their job is to provide a profit for the organization they are working for. Directors set up opportunities for the sports team to make money off of sponsors. They also set up deals with advertisers to pay a sum of money in exchange for their ads or products to be listed or shown at their sporting event (Sports Management 1). Good advertising and production of cash flow go hand in hand while promotion directors try to help them to succeed. Development and promotion directors play an important role in developing a profit for their organizations.
I wish to study Events Management at university as I am studying HNC Events at college and have learned how complex and intricate this subject is through the units I have studied and the practical work I have completed. I have also discovered the incredible sense of achievement you obtain when an event is a success. It is for these reasons that I endeavour to take my studies to the next stage, allowing me to expand on the skills and knowledge I have gained from college. I hope to study Events Management at university as I have researched the course and consider the modules to be exciting and a good progression from the units I am currently studying. After school I spent time in Paris working as an Au-Pair, and I found this experience to be
