Preventive management in sport - A challenge of new ideas

Abstract

Sport management constantly delves into new challenges, ideas and applications of the approach, construction and strategies of creative philosophy, vision and mission, and with the aim of promoting the functions of modelling - prediction, diagnostics - prognosis, and projecting - planning, since there is the need for integration and interaction of many management categories, functions and direct applications. The aim of this paper is to show that certain action measures are taken in a timely, purposeful and efficient manner through a newly-formed strategic category called preventive management in sport and that the environment, in which future desired events will take place and effective outcome will be achieved, is created along with further operational solutions emanating from this approach. The results of the analysis of existing state and recent research have shown that there is a possibility for the solutions consisting of searching for new ideas, creations and constructions of contemporary, more thorough and more functional models of technological and managerial elements based on integration and interaction. The construction, functioning and application of the three above-mentioned technological and management functions of modelling - prediction, diagnostics - prognosis and projecting - planning, which are called preventive management in sport, opens up new possibilities for getting more optimal comprehensiveness, purposefulness and objectivity in promoting the desired state expeditiously accompanied by having much more dramatic effects of overall labour technology and achieving top sports results.
