  • How Has Government and Corporate Investment Impacted on Eshibobo Football Club in the Context of the Build up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup?
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Wits Institutional Repository on DSPACE How has government and corporate investment impacted on eShibobo Football Club in the context of the build up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup? Alexander Kostopoulos (338173) A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment for the Degree of Master of Arts. Johannesburg, November 2009 i Declaration I herewith declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of MA in Sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or exam in any other University. It has also not previously been published in any form. Alex Kostopoulos University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 12 August 2009 ii Abstract This research has explored some of the effects that the build up to the 2010 Football World Cup to be hosted in South Africa has had on a local soccer club, eShibobo Football Club (FC)1. Much hope has been placed on this tournament to bring prosperity and overall regional development to South Africa through increased foreign investment, tourism, and improved infrastructure. Using qualitative research methods in the form of field interviews and documentary analysis, the research suggests that the increased revenue earnings of eShibobo FC can be partially linked to South Africa’s hosting of the 2010 World Cup. With this increased revenue the club has been able to spend larger amounts on player salaries, established a comprehensive youth development programme, created links with foreign clubs, and invested in technology to assist the coaching and playing staff.

  • The Unholy Alliance of Sports Performance and Education for Apprentice Golfers Within an Academy Structure
    DAZZLING DREAMS, DAWNING REALITY: THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE OF SPORTS PERFORMANCE AND EDUCATION FOR APPRENTICE GOLFERS IN AN ACADEMY STRUCTURE by JONATHAN WRIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences University of Birmingham June 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT This research followed the journey and experiences of twenty-four apprentice golfers on an academy programme of sports performance and education delivered via a college-based system in England. Apprentice golfers were followed through a two-year programme linked to the England talent pathway, with the intended outcome of propelling them on a journey of golfing achievement, but with the back up of academic qualifications. A key aim of this piece of work was to understand the expectations of the apprentice golfers on joining the programme and to trace how these, as well as anticipated exit routes from the programme, developed and were shaped by their experiences. There are innumerable factors that mediate the journey of individuals through sport, and it is clear that this development is not experienced in a linear fashion (Bailey et al 2010).

    The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Suggested running head: “The Burden of Glory” RAJA KALI Department of Economics. Sam M. Walton College of Business. University of Arkansas Henry Angus Building, 2053. Fayetteville, AR 72701-1201 [email protected] DAVID PASTORIZA* (corresponding author) Department of International Business. HEC Montréal. Chemin de la Cote-Sainte-Catherine, 3000. Montréal, Canada. H3T 2AT [email protected] JEAN-FRANÇOIS PLANTE Department of Decision Sciences. HEC Montréal. Chemin de la Cote-Sainte-Catherine, 3000. Montréal, Canada. H3T 2AT [email protected] The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Abstract In an environment in which elite, highly-paid professionals compete for non-monetary rewards, we find evidence of underperformance. Our analysis suggests that choking under pressure from high-stakes non-monetary rewards is behind the underperformance. This implies that high stakes non-monetary rewards can create meaningful pressure on individuals and lead to worse performance, a distinct issue that has yet to be adequately examined. These findings come from an examination of the behavior of top US golfers competing to earn a place on the US Ryder Cup team via their performance in PGA Tour tournaments with differing allocations of Ryder Cup qualifying points. Keywords: Competition, non-monetary incentives, high stakes, choking, performance, risk-taking, intimidation The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Abstract: In an environment in which elite, highly-paid professionals compete for non- monetary rewards, we find evidence of underperformance.
