What next for sport? Facing the leadership challenges in sport 2021 and beyond

2020 brought so many challenges even the record keepers have lost count. For sport it has meant mass cancelations and postponements, relearning, soul-searching and some major changes in infrastructure, systems and practice. It has also enabled some bold new thinking about the leadership challenges we face.

Join our Acting Director for the Institute for Sport Business, Dr Andrea Guerin, and Project Development Manager for the Overcoming Stigma through Paralympic Sport project, Jennie Wong, as they lead an online panel discussion on the future for Sport. They will be joined by leaders and emerging leaders in sport; those who have taken the step off the playing field and into the boardroom and those who are facing the challenges head on.
