And no other text prepares students for the task as effectively as Managing Sport Events, Third Edition With HKPropel Access.

Blending traditional business tenets of sport management with the distinct aspects of event management, Managing Sport Events, Third Edition, prepares readers to manage events with efficiency and ease so that fans and participants alike have lasting game-day memories.
