  • April 2021 MESSAGE from the EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear Colleagues
    EOC NEWSLETTER No. 211 April 2021 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, With the countdown clock to Tokyo 2020 now at well under 100 days to go, this summer’s Olympic Games are quickly approaching. As the National Olympic Committees of Europe and our athletes put the final touches on preparations, the latest Playbooks from the International Olympic Committee have given us valuable insight into what this special edition of the Olympic Games will be like. They will unquestionably be different from what we have been used to, and it is clear that each Olympic stakeholder will have to exercise a great deal of flexibility and patience to make these a safe and successful Games for everyone involved. But I remain convinced that we will pull it off as long as we remain united in our purpose – to ultimately provide, through sport, a little hope and encouragement to the world after such a trying and tragic period for humanity. Looking slightly further ahead, the European Olympic Committees continues to make real progress with regard to the European Games Krakow-Malopolska 2023. Last week the EOC Coordination Commission for the Games gathered in Antalya, Turkey for meetings with a range of important stakeholders, including potential partners, who will help us deliver the best edition of our continental Games yet. More information will be communicated to you on this subject in due course. Unfortunately, as you will all know, the Vuokatti Winter EYOF was recently postponed to March 2022, but I think everyone will understand that it was the only choice and will provide the local organisers more time to prepare the festival in the best way.

  • Sport Development in Kuwait: Perception of Stakeholders On
    SPORT DEVELOPMENT IN KUWAIT: PERCEPTION OF STAKEHOLDERS ON THE SIGNIFICANCE AND DELIVERY OF SPORT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School at The Ohio State University By Badi Aldousari, M.A. * * * * * 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Dr. Donna Pastore __________________________ Advisor Dr. Janet Fink College of Education ABSTRACT The current study analyzed the perceptions of 402 stakeholders of Kuwaiti sport regarding the importance of three domains of sport (i.e., mass sport, elite sport, and commercial sport), and the relative emphases to be placed on each of these domains. The respondents were also asked to indicate the organizational forms (public, nonprofit, profit, public-nonprofit combine, and public-profit combine) best suited to deliver related sport services in the country. The stakeholder groups were administrators of federations (n = 57), administrators of clubs (n = 80), administrators of youth centers (n = 50), coaches of clubs (n = 78), coaches of youth centers (n = 57), and elite athletes (n = 70). The gender distribution of the respondents was 355 males and 47 females. They ranged in age from 19 years to 70 years for a mean of 39 years. The statistical procedures included exploratory principal component analysis, computation of Cronbach’s alpha, multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) followed by univariate analyses (ANOVA), and chi square analyses. The results provided support for the subscale structure of survey instrument modified from Cuellar (2003). Further analyses indicated that the six groups were almost unanimous in considering elite sport as more critical than the other two domains of sport.
