  • Annual Review 2014 – 2015
    Sport & Physical Activity Partnership Annual Review 2014 –2015 Foreword A decade on from when the President of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rogge, opened an envelope and announced that London had been chosen as host city for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we continue to question the legacy beyond the games. From Tessa Jowell convincing Tony Blair to the 100 strong delegation led by Lord Coe that travelled to Singapore, an enormous amount of effort was put into our successful Olympic bid that promised to deliver so much. The key question is has the interest generated by the Olympics peaked and have we wasted a golden opportunity? If so how did we get it so wrong? Current thinking and policy raises some questions. To ask National Governing Bodies of Sport to increase sports participation and then suggest they do that within the parameters of “only people aged 14 years and older” is a concern. If we are to create sporting habits for life we need to be inspiring and motivating people much earlier than 14 years of age. Equally concerning is the decision Creating a to ask Primary School Heads to improve School Sport without any direction, support or measures to achieve. Pressure on Heads to deliver results in the sporting habit core subject’s leaves School Sport having to fight a battle with other priorities. 5 Even with an additional £10k worth of ammunition per year for each primary 1 for life 0 2 school it is a battle at the moment that sport does not seem to be winning.

    Roshan Parvez & Raizada (2020): Evaluating Leicester city’s wining the English premier league Nov 2020 Vol. 23 Issue 17 Comparative Analysis of Leicester City’s English Premier League Title Win SK. Abdul Roshan Parvez1 and Shiny Raizada2* 1Student, MBA, 2Assistant Professor, Symbiosis School of Sports Sciences, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune, Maharashtra, India *Corresponding author: [email protected] (Raizada) Abstract Background: Football is a complex game as it requires much game plan, different strategies according to opponents with some statistics. It was a fairy-tale for the sporting world as an underdog team went on to win the premiership with making their core team strong. In this paper, the season 2015/16 of premier league has been investigated and the researcher has analysed how Leicester City emerged as the champions and what went wrong with the big clubs, looking at Leicester City’s last 5 years journey against all odds and logic. Two major aspects of the footballing world have been mentioned which have a great influence and impact on the team’s performance i.e. Transfer market and Manager’s impact. Methods: The data was collected through Several journals, research papers, blogs, newspapers, and articles. Conclusion: The club's signing of players was outstanding in the transfer window and the team got good players in reasonable amounts. The manager’s game plans and strategies with the team’s efforts lead them to success. Their ball possession was negligible while they excelled when it came to counterattack. Finally, they have bagged the title with team effort. We cannot say that it was all about luck as a lot of team involvement was seen and everything felt in the right places at the right time.
