IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN RESOURCES IN SPORTS CLUBS AND IN SPORTS PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Human resources are the most important asset in the structure of a sports club. A sports club could not exist without specialized human resources employed in various positions and without the necessary training required for its efficient management. Each sports club, regardless of its organizational form has a certain number of positions for different hierarchical levels. The higher the hierarchical level, the more demanding the tasks and to the same extent, the training requirements for human resources. Therefore human resources are very important both for the management of a sports club and for achieving performance in sports activity. The main human resources that have responsibilities in achieving performance management is team made up of the team’s manager, coaches, assistant coaches, other coaching positions (depending on the type of sport), psychologist, physician, physical therapist, computer specialist. This team can run as presented above or the number of its team members may vary. We can conclude form those mentioned above that a sports club may neither achieve performance nor make a profit without human resources.
