<br/><br/> The contribution of volunteers at all levels - from local clubs to national governing bodies, right up to the Olympic Games - is at the heart of sport throughout the world. Yet changing policies and increasingly professionalized approaches to running sport are putting volunteer cultures at risk. Good management and a clear understanding of the way volunteers work in sport are essential to protect and develop the role of this core group of people. This volume links theory with research to provide clear guidelines for good volunteer management.
