Sports Industry Statistics And Survey Results

by |August 18th, 2010

A while back we created the Sports Business Survey in hopes of creating a better understanding of the top sports industry executives.  More than 1,000 people completed the survey and we were amazed with the feedback.

We realized that the sports industry was seeing a shift (and is still shifting) in many different ways.

With all of the new ways to connect directly with industry decision makers through social media, or create a name for yourself in the industry from by creating a powerful website, we wanted to know what challenges sports professionals were facing, what they wanted to learn about, and how we could help them achieve their goals.

The sports industry survey results were first released as exclusive content for the Sports Executive Association, but it was so useful we decided to share it to our faithful readers here as well.

Here are some of the questions that were answered inside the survey:

  • What is the biggest challenge you face in the sports industry?
  • What would help you achieve your sports business goals?
  • What is one reason why you work in the sports industry?
  • What type of sports specific education training would help you get to the next level?
  • And more…

You download the survey for free here.

If you want more in depth training and networking, then become a member of the SEA for exclusive content, including e-books, audios and live video seminars from the best in the business (plus a lot more).

At SportsNetworker, we’re looking at these results very seriously in hopes of continuing to bring you the best content to help you and your team become perpetual winners.

What do you think about the survey results?  Are you shocked about the statistics or think they are spot on?  How will you use this information in your sports organization or career from here on out?  You thoughts and comments are welcome and please take a moment to share this on Facebook and Retweet it on Twitter.

Hi Lewis,
Thanks for great input!
I was wondering about the geographical coverage of the survey - was it based on responses by U.S-based sport professionals or can the sample be considered as universal? What's the general distribution?

To be honest it ranges from sports professionals from all over the world. I didn't ask what part of the world people are from but next time I'll make sure to do that.
