Manhattanville College's Institute for Sports Analytics Partners with NationalCoachSurvey.Org
Mission is to Study The Critical Role Coaches Play in the Healthy Development of Young People and to Better Appreciate the Challenges of Leadership in Sports.
Bedford Hills, NY, April 25, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Institute for Sports Analytics, run by Manhattanville College’s Graduate Sports Business Management program, announced today that it has joined forces with www.NationalCoachSurvey.org. The collaboration will be one of the nation's first and foremost efforts aimed at exploring the issues facing our nation’s athletic coaches and the impact they have on our society. The Sports Analytic Institute uses objective, data-based analysis to address contemporary issues facing the business of sports.
“The National Coach Survey is an extremely important addition to our mission as the leading academic sports management program,” said Dave Torromeo, Director of Manhattanville’s Graduate Sports Business Management program. “By establishing a focused, metrics driven program that both advocates and analyzes the work that the hundreds of thousands of youth, high school and college coaches perform, our students and faculty will shed new research on a group that is at times overlooked.”
The initiative will be led by John Kelly, the former Senior Director of Communications and Research at the National Basketball Association and Director of Communications at Columbia University School of Law. The core of the program will consist of reviewing and releasing the findings of a regular national survey of tens of thousands of athletic coaches working at every level of play.
A panel of national coaches and leading sports executives will serve as the National Coach Survey advisory board and serve as guest lecturers and symposium presenters throughout the Graduate Sports Business Management curriculum.
"It’s no stretch to say that coaches often have a greater positive impact and influence on the decisions that their players make than their teachers or even their parents,” said Kelly. “Yet there is little recognition or awareness of the unique challenges and responsibilities they face. Manhattanville’s National Sports Survey will explore the endless possibilities that this fascinating and unexplored field of research will uncover.”
The National Coach Survey is being funded by My Sports Dreams, the nation’s leading sports fundraising program which provides support to tens of thousands of travel, high school and college teams and programs. For more information, visit www.mysportsdreams.com/ncsurv.
The Graduate Sports Business Management program at Manhattanville College leads to a Masters of Science degree, providing its students with the necessary knowledge and business skills to assume a leadership role in sports management. The course work provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of sport management intended to provide a thorough foundation in sport and business, while allowing flexibility for students to explore a wide variety of opportunities within the field.
SBM graduates have found full time employment in college athletics, with the New York Yankees, USTA, Metropolitan Golf, WWE and the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Under SBM there was created a Center of Ethics in Sport at Manhattanville (CESAM), which examines the perennial issues and questions confronting the sports industry that impact conduct, character and community and to challenge individuals to maintain the ideal social and spiritual conditions in furthering the cause of athletics.
There have been many notable speakers coming to the program, such as author and radio host Rick Wolff, Rob Manfred, SVP Labor Relations for MLB, Peter Ruocco, SVP Labor Relations for the NFL, Kevin Hallinan, former SVP of MLB, Michael Tusiani, Vice President of Corporate Sales & Sponsorships, New York Yankees and Tom McGovern, U.S. Director of Sports Media OMD, Omnicom Media Group.
For a sample of research work completed by Manhattanville’s students in the Sports Analytic Institute, please feel free to contact Dave Torromeo.
Manhattanville College was founded in 1841 and its mission is to educate students to become ethically and socially responsible leaders for the global community.
