Professional Sports and Study: Is it possible to combine. Profession: Sports manager Need a higher education athletes

The formation of athletes is not the simplest thing. On the one hand, it is necessary to carry out regular training, on the other, it is required to get a general education. However, for athletes, it sometimes becomes a challenge.

And the point here is not in the abilities. Just education is not easy, especially when the system of general education and system sports training do not match. They exist in themselves. The state can promote sports, but no one has canceled the overall formation of athletes.

And then problems arise with the combination of ordinary school and sports training, not to mention the competitions and long gatherings. In addition, it has long been the opinion that the formation of athletes is a minor thing. They say, the main thing is sporting achievements, everything else - then. But it is not so. Knowledge is needed in any case, because no one has canceled the logic of actions during the competition. And for this you need a good education.

Today, combining study and sports is not difficult. It is for this that there is external or remote training. What advantages gives distance education for athletes?

  • Easy to combine learning and training;
  • There is no need to attend school;
  • No need to ask for lessons;
  • Everything educational materials stored on the server;
  • Can be trained abroad;
  • Training in the intensive allows you to finish school earlier;
  • The learning schedule is adjusted depending on the plan of sports, and not the opposite;


And there is another substantial addition: education for athletes is necessary if there is a desire to enter the university or continue the sports career as a manager. In this case, distance education will allow combining work and remote preparation. In addition, upon completion sports career It may again stand on the formation of athletes, as it may be advisable to change the profession.

Moreover, external will be convenient for both lovers and professional athletes. Dance Sport, figure skating, football, hockey, swimming, - that would neither choose a child, he needs a lot of time for this, and external, and even more so, remote education can provide so necessary time with interest. And then education for athletes will turn into an interesting thing.

- Where are the athletes teach?
- We say, "prepare." In sports schools, as well as sports schools olympic reserve. This is a long-term phased preparation system. The set and selection goes into three levels, one can say, according to the principle "I want, I can, I must". Those who just want to play sports are additional general educational programs. These are "sports and wellness groups." Who can already withstand loads - it is possible to try their forces on a competitive basis on additional prefigation programs. Well, the most promising, of course, volunteers are selected on sports training programs. Children who showed top scores, study for the state account. However, the guys who have not passed the competitive selection are also accepted into sports school. True, they take classes there, as a rule, on a paid basis.

- At what age children are worth starting to play sports?
- There are various opinions on this. Someone believes that it is possible to start in three years. I believe that the best age - 6-12 years old. It was during this period that children wake up interest in sports as a whole. And over time, the child will be able to understand himself or with the help of a coach that it is interesting to him what he can succeed. By the way, sports and pedagogical navigation is one of the directions of the experimental platform, which the Bagiir consulting and analytical center holds together with Sport-Nova. We have a simple set of tests that makes it possible to understand whether the child is ready to play sports, or it is still too small for this. Then we are watching the child, we suggest him try yourself in those sports that you may like, and finally choose the most suitable.

I think it is very important to help unreasonable children find yourself in sports. With gifted guys (which about 20%) are actively working. With children with features physical development - also. But the main mass of children who have no pronounced talent, few people do.

- And at what age do children go to sports schools?
- Depends on the sport. IN rhythmic gymnasticsFor example, often go for 6 years. But as a rule - in 8-10 years. In swimming for 15 years, a person can become a master of sports international class. But there are both activity, where training begins much later - in 14-16 years. For example, such a threshold in academic rowing. Rowers must have developed muscles and a large volume of lungs that the child is not. Later, they come in bobsles, take only 18 years. Although in the same Germany, Bobslem begin to engage in 12-14 years.

On average, the optimal age for determining the child's sporting gifting is 12-14 years old. It was during this period that a person is revealed by the qualities needed by an athlete.

- How is the training of athletes?
- Preparation sports reserve - This is a multi-year process. After we helped the guys with a choice of sport, children begin to undergo intensive training programs. The whole system of sports training is built in such a way that a person can later enter the adult sports life and become a member. sports team, defend the honor of the country at competitions or go to professional sports.

In addition, the task of a sports reserve is to help the child to keep in sports as in the profession. They are engaged not only with children, whom the coach counted promising. We do not deny the attention of any of the students, we simply take into account that some will not become athletes, but will be focused on another.

- What sports are most popular in our country?
- Perhaps the popular football, basketball, swimming, athletics and ski race. But hockey or handball in Russia are quite loved, but at the same time they never worked a massive character. After all, for example, in hockey so just do not play - special conditions and equipment are needed. Our people are more honorable watching hockey matches than playing themselves.

- What school subjects need to pay attention to a person who wants to become an athlete?
- on biology, in particular on anatomy. The athlete needs to be understood which muscle group he hurts after exercise, and why she does it, follow their food, be able to build a training process.

Understanding the laws of physics and mathematical logic will help to avoid many injuries. And of course, you need to learn foreign languages. Beginning athlete they may not need. However, in the future, their ignorance can brake his career. For example, a person can offer to become an official representative international FederationAnd he will not be able due to the fact that he does not know English or German.

- Do you need a higher education athlete?
- Some stop on medium vocational education. We have the schools of the Olympic reserve (for example, in the capital - the Moscow Secondary Special School of Olympic Reserve No. 1 - approx. Site.), where athletes can not only develop their physical skills, but also get a coaching specialty.

However, many prefer to receive higher education. At one time, we counted that we have about 150 universities in our country, who are preparing specialists in the field of physical culture and sports. Many athletes even have two higher education - one associated with physical education, and the other is other, economic, legal or even technical.

- Who can be a graduate sports schoolwho decided not to become an athlete?
- Someone can go to coaches, someone in sports managers. You can be a sports journalist. We need and qualified lawyers in sports, operators, engineers. Interesting work in our industry will be found to everyone.

By the way, the interest in the profession of the sports manager stirred after the Olympiad held in Sochi. People understood that sport competitions Can be spectacular and colorful.

- What kind of higher education should be obtained to become a sports manager?
- A person can choose one of universities engaged in the training of specialists in the field of sports. In addition, the system of additional professional education is now developing - very interesting sports management programs are actively launched with support Olympic Committee Russia. For example, created his sports administration program.

Very interesting training programs for sports management conducts at the Economic Faculty.

- Should a sports manager himself in the past be athlete?
- In my opinion, the time of managers who could, without dealing in the process, manage it, ends. The modern manager should understand what he works with. Of course, no one will require outstanding results from the manager, but, at least, in childhood he had to play sports.

- Will the athletes in the future be in demand? Will the robots do not replace these players?
- I guess, robots will replace low-qualified specialists, and just athletes will be safe. With the development of technologies, a person will move less, but to be healthy, maintain himself in good physical form, It is necessary to engage in physical education. However, a person is a pretty lazy creature, so he needs the spirit of competition, which will help him rise and go to the training session. Competitions with yourself, with a neighbor, with another team. Therefore, the sport will survive the technological revolution, and no robots will be able to replace athletes who will arrange a spectacle and encourage other people in sports.

- Will the need for sports managers?
- I guess she will even grow. A colossal number of sports facilities are built throughout the country. This happens at the expense of the state, and at the expense of various business structures, for example, as in the case of the Krasnaya Polyana complex. On the one hand, these objects are in demand, but on the other, there are not enough modern organizers professionals who can work not only in the adopted state system, but also create a new product.

- The athlete can earn a living, engaged only by sports?
- Sure. But you need to distinguish between professional sports and sports high achievements. In sports higher achievements The task of an athlete - at the right moment to withstand colossal competition and win competitions, for example, Olympic Games. While the athlete participates in major sporting events, the state pays a salary, because it is the empowerment to be a representative of the country in the competition. The state is interested in moving through the victory in the Olympiad and World Championships to show that we are strong, as well as increase the interest of people to sports.

After a person ceases to take part in the most important competitions, he can go to professional sports, the main task which is to make a colorful show. For example, this is how the famous figure skater Evgeny Plushenko. Becoming twice the winner of the Olympics, he left the sport of high achievements and now stands in front of the audience.

"How can an athlete, who left the Sport of Higher Achievements and decided to do something else?
- He can for a long time stay professional athlete. For example, in a sailing sport you can speak up to fifty. Many become coaches or sports managers, heads in the sports field or go to sports journalism. For example, Denis Pankratov from the canal - double olympic champion. I believe that from the former athletes are the best sports journalists, In order to talk about something, you need to try it on yourself. Is it possible to argue about the taste of the apple without trying apple?

- What could you advise you to read a teenager who wants to become an athlete?
- There is a specialized publishing house "Sport", which produces many popular literature - interesting books of our athletes, descriptions of teams. Of course, there are more serious books related to training activities, psychology. A high school student can go to the site of the publisher and choose that he will be interested.

Higher sports education is somewhat mansion among others. Since, in addition to teachers of physical culture and coaches, hesitates and athletes - the pride of any nation.

In addition, it should be understood that in universities of physical culture and sports, it is taught not only to run, swim or shoot (or how to subsequently teach this students). The most important objects for the future teacher or coach - psychology, management, pedagogy, anatomy, sociology, lawwork and others relating to not so much physical development of a person how much psychological attitude. Since none sports achievement - Even the most insignificant - it is impossible to make no appropriate attitude. And it is precisely that the purpose of the future teacher of physical education, a coach or specialists developing the scientific foundations of physical culture, sports, sports tourism And even the rehabilitation of people with physical disabilities.

Sports specialty

Sports specialties according to GEF, big account, there are not so many - their (enlarged) Total 3 - teachers (coaches), teachers-psychologists and managers physical culture and sport. In this regard, the popularity rating would be more correct to be at sports professions that the highest sports education can give, and in this case the top 5 will look like this:

  • manager in the Olympic and Professional Sports System (finished the United Faculty);
  • trainer-teacher (in the same system) - especially in such rating and high-budget sports, like football, hockey, tennis and some others;
  • specialist in valeology;
  • manager in sports tourism;
  • doctor in the field of physical rehabilitation.

Where to get

Today in Russian Federation 25 and tourism are functioning (F.K. and s.) - including branches:

In addition, there are also dozens of individual faculties with pedagogical and military universities - such as, for example, the Faculty of Faculty of F.K.S. with the Siberian State Aerospace Institute.

According to the new GEF, in educational plans Sports universities include:

  • the humanitarian and socio-economic cycle (of course, with the basic and variable part), including hours on history, philosophy, economic theory, political science, psychology, foreign language etc.);
  • natural science cycle (with teaching computer science, natural science foundations F.K. and, sports metrology, etc.);
  • professional cycle (anatomy, human biochemistry, pedagogy and management F.K.I s., Methods and theory of the selected sport, physiotherapy and massage, etc.);
  • and finally, practical classes in several, selected student, sports).

Forms of education

Training in sports universities, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Science and Sport, is carried out both on budget and paid basis. In terms of full-time, correspondence, evening and distance learning, it all depends on the specifics of the university and the selected specialty.

Second higher

Restrictions for obtaining a second higher sports education (and in sports it is a very common phenomenon) does not exist - the only difference from obtaining the first is the absence of a free basis.

Maxim Belitsky, Head of International School of Sports Management Mirbis

What does the sports manager do

Multiplers sometimes confuse the concepts of "Manager" and "Agent". If, for example, talk about football, the personal agent "adds" athletes, that is, provides a profitable contract and earns athletes from one club to another. At the sports manager, the scope of activity is wider. He can work in a professional or amateur sports organization Or engage in entrepreneurship, for example, invest in the development of private schools or tournaments, in the search and professional growth of talented athletes, which are then fighting for the title. That is, a sports manager is a person who helps any sports organization to earn money, while getting bonuses for good work, or the one who invests money in sports and builds on this business.

In Russia, the specificity is such that the sports manager helps the club to become attractive to any audience. It not only sells the rights of an athlete and achieves an adequate salary, but also contributes to the development of a sports organization as a whole. This can be a sponsorship manager, marketing, on matches, financial manager or manager of the Football Academy, which "rages" athletes, and then sells them into larger clubs. In any case, this is a person who creates opportunities for income.

Not every manager - sports

You can get the profession of the sports manager in specialized educational institutions, where in addition to basic knowledge, sports specificity is also taken into account. But it happens that a person with legal, financial, sociological, marketing education or to education in the field of classical management comes to sports if he is interested in or already has experience in this area. Sports managers that are cultivated to go to specialized programs and grow people and grow people.

In Mirbis, there are programs of the "International School of Sports Management", where experts and teachers representing the world's leading sports markets offer very high-quality, knowledge-oriented knowledge. But they must be adapted to the realities of the Russian market. Usually in such programs, more attention is paid to the business course, that is, the management and entrepreneurial component. But talk about these narrow spheres as marketing, sponsorship, event, commercial activity football Academies, as well as entrepreneurship in sports. Students learn to build their business.

Profession for sports fans

The advantages of the sports manager's profession is that the beginning of a career, as a rule, is gently - you can start an increase from work in a small club team. In addition, it is an ideal profession for real sports fans. It is often those who play himself, suffer, follows the results of matches. So my favorite thing becomes a profession, which means that work brings pleasure. I myself have no manager, nor economic, no marketing education, but my passion for sports led me here, and I successfully work for 14 years. Being "in the field", you feel the energy of the tribune, you see drive on the site, and every day of work is more and more positive emotions. This is probably one of the most emotional professions, and it is possible to compare it, perhaps with the show business.

Lack of work - the main minus

If we talk about clubs and federations, the Russian sports industry is small, and graduates sports universities They can spend time in vain, trying to get a job. Sports organizations that are focused on business, we have little, so all financial costs are not covered by the organization itself, but the state, large business, regions, etc. On the one hand, it generates non-professionalism of sports managers. On the other hand, the possibilities of those who really know their work really and want to make money in their own area of \u200b\u200bwork in a sports organization or in their own business. As a result, there is no creative, innovation, there is no movement forward. Sport often does not withstand competition for the viewer with other types of entertainment.

Communications solve everything

Communications play a huge role in the career of any manager, and the more people are communicating, the more chances of success. The more familiar - the more active the own "Funnel of Sales" works. A sports manager must be in constant tone, communication and contacting of contacts - its main responsibilities. The manager improves his reputation and acquires significance and attractiveness in the eyes of employees. With the help of personal agreements, it is able to reduce costs and attract new revenues.

As in any sales, a sports manager should also be able to convince his buyers in the fact that his product is the best. And connections help him move through the career ladder. For example, in the German sports industry, managers constantly communicate with customers on matches, they get acquainted with the audience, receiving information for analytical data and to optimize activities. Communicating, they receive information, for example, that potential customers can redeem sponsorship packages or additional hospitality places. The main rule - in any communication should be benefit.

Perfect sports manager

The main qualities that the sports manager must have - communicability and assertion. Not only sociability, but also knowledge of languages \u200b\u200bis at least English. The sports manager is a public person, and here you need to be able to contact and with potential customers, and with your subordinates, with the authorities and other departments in sports club. Analytics skills are also important - the ability to prepare informational materials for other sports organization employees. The profession is very diverse and requires great return, round-the-clock work of the brain, so for the sports manager is very important.

Can an athlete become a manager

As a rule, an entrepreneur who creates his sports section hires the head coach or sports director who is responsible for the sports component. At the same time, the athletes themselves rarely become good sports managers. I believe that it is very difficult for them to rebuilt at the end of the sports career on another activity, because most of the time they devoted training and performances. At the same time, many sports organizations manage that do not have the necessary knowledge management knowledge. Because of what these organizations will endure financial disasters. This problem is characteristic not only for Russia, but also for overseas countries. Only a quarter of former athletes are able to become sports managers.

But perhaps and retraining: annual advanced training programs, professional retraining And corporate programs are focused on people already having basic education. therefore former athlete For a successful career manager, you must first get a classic higher education that is not related to sports.

Sports manager - part of a big team

In club clubs game species Sport exists main coach, coaching headquartersAs well as the selection department and sports director who are searching for and attracting players. The club also has a staff that is engaged in the restoration of players, advocacy, nutrition is a self-sufficient structure within a sports organization. The next component of the system is a marketing-commercial structure. The match is sold as a product: tickets, attributes, food, VIP services, sponsors, etc. In addition, there is an administrative personnel that all this controls - office managers, lawyers, financiers, security service, etc.

Career in the Russian Sports Industry

For those who come to internships, there are chances to entrenched in this organization, and may also make useful ties. It is important to communicate here, fulfill all the instructions, include fantasy and try to analyze the situation and improve it. Of course, this will attract the attention of the leadership to a potential manager.

Everyone has a chance to get a good job, at least at the level of satisfaction of primary ambitions. It happens that in sports organizations there are no rates of managers, sometimes in this capacity is a single executive director who deals with everyone immediately. Here the former graduate can offer to attract commercial partners and work free for experience and percent of the transaction. This path is distributed, but rather unreliable.

The first step of professional success is a job in a large club, a successful sports organization, which in sight - in such football clubsAs Spartak, Zenit, Krasnodar, etc. Further career level - getting a solid earnings, that is, attracting large sponsorship companies, contracts. This is a job in commercial companies, agencies, in the stadiums of the World Cup Football Championships, in the organizing committees, for example, in the Russian FIFA branch, which is currently prepared for the World Cup - 2018. And the career peak can be functioning sports business or systematic earnings and development in commercial sports organization. The opinion is common that in our sport is not a success indicator. Another thing is to create and develop a club that exists for many years. This is already a huge achievement, as our sport is still far from business.
