Governance In Action

1. Team Selection: Being selected to a national team is a great honor. National team members are invited and expected to represent their country in international competition. Because major international events do not always provide prize money or appearance fees, some athletes would rather attend a competition that pays for them for their work. Should athletes represent their country in competition for no money when compensation is available at a competition conducted elsewhere at the same time? Why or why not? (approximately 2 – 3 paragraphs are sufficient).
2. Event Bidding: If a city is bidding to host the what factors does the organizing committee need to consider when thinking about bidding for such an event? (approximately 2 – 3 paragraphs are sufficient).
3. Corruption: In your own words (approximately 2 – 3 paragraphs) discuss some instances of corruption for major (i.e., international or national) sporting events. Discuss why the corruption occurred and what could be done from a sport governance standpoint to prevent future corruption.
4. Sport For All: In your own words (approximately 2 – 3 paragraphs) explain what means. How does this relate to sport governance?
