A Practical Guide to Sport Management Internships

To meet the demand of the industry, university sport management students must possess experience. The internship experience has been identified as the most critical element for the professional preparation of future sport managers. Since many students may have a peripheral understanding of the inner workings of the sport industry, A Practical Guide to Sport Management Internships is designed to offer undergraduate and graduate students as well as the internship supervisor in-depth pedagogical and legal insights to be better prepared for the experience.

"Miller and Seidler have compiled a nifty resource that provides an overview of the role of internships in sport management programs… Along with discussions useful to faculty looking to establish or enhance an internship program, they address the different types of internships to consider and various tools for students… Summing Up: Recommended." ― CHOICE Magazine, September 2010
