The professionalisation of sport over the past 30 years has meant that sport organisations have had to change the way they are managed. For most of sport history, volunteers have administered organisations.
As sport organisations have evolved from an amateur to professional management structure, there has also been a constant transition from volunteers to professionals managing sport at all levels.
For people who love their sport and are good administrators or managers, there are many good jobs now available in the sports industry.
