Key Summary
Sports and recreation are part of everyone’s life in some way—regardless of age, ability, or skill. We actively seek out ways to live a healthy and balanced life, from the avid sports enthusiast to parents who send their children to summer camp, to seniors who stay active through community programs. The global industry of sports and recreation has grown considerably in recent years as a society in general puts a greater focus on health and wellness. This growth has created career paths in a variety of areas including marketing and management positions with minor and major league sports teams, community recreation, youth sports, intercollegiate athletic departments, coaching, and outdoor recreation.
