Financing and Coach Development in Swedish High Performance Athletics
Financing and Coach Development in Swedish High Performance athletics Maria Berglöf Bachelor thesis 15 hp Spring 2010 Supervisor: Sten Söderman Abstract: Why are some countries more competitive than others in sport? The question of sport management reached a political level some decades ago and since then the question has become more important and the numbers of research have increased. From Belgium, Netherlands and UK, some researchers started a group in 2002 to go deeper in the subject of sport management; they were called the SPLISS-Consortium group and developed a model to use when benchmarking critical success factors in sport. At the time an international athletics high performance project is coordinated from Brussels, Belgium. The project is using the SPLISS-model to benchmark different countries sport policies around athletics. The purpose with this thesis is to describe and explain financing and coach development, two of the critical success factors developed in the SPLISS-model, in Swedish athletics to see how these factors affects the Swedish results in athletics. The result aims to be a part of the international athletic high performance project. This investigation is built on concepts such as Critical Success Factors, competitiveness and benchmarking. Interviews have been done with two persons working at the Swedish National athletics Association and a coach from a Swedish athletics club. The answers from the interviews have been summarized to describe and explain the predominate context of the financing and coach development in Swedish athletics. The results have also been benchmarked to give a glimpse of how the competitiveness in Swedish elite athletics can be raised.
