Role of external organisations in sportMike Haddon
There are a number of external organisations that have a role in providing support and progression to performers moving from grass roots to elite level.
The organisation of sport – and hence the Sport Industry of Employers – is very complex and subject to constant changes and modifications, for example when there is a change of national government in the UK and / or success (or failure) on the international stage of our elite sports men and women.
There are three areas to the research:
(1) The difference between the ‘performance’ and the ‘participation’ strands and the implications of this for the Sport Industry;
(2) The differences and interdependencies of the three main sectoral components of the Sport Industry (Public; private; voluntary);
(3) Significant recent and / or proposed changes (such as funding or strategic thinking about the place of sport in society) to the Sport Industry.

Maidan Summit 2011 - Mona Shipley, British CouncilMaidan.in
In her discourse at Maidan Summit 2011, Ms Mona Shipley presented her experience with developing the Physical Education Cards (PEC). She held that one should harness engagement, effectiveness and simplicity of sport-based programmes and use them at the grassroots level to begin transformation.
She said that sport is an integral part of culture in almost every country, and pointed at how women get segregated because it is traditionally associated with masculinity. Ms Shipley felt the need to challenge the discrimination based on gender in sports. She highlighted the need to have an advocacy platform, where people come to become aware of their rights and eventually drive change from within.
