ABSTRACT

An internship is a major component of many sport management programs and appears to provide a competitive edge to students seeking employment in the field of sport management. This paper applies Dewey's experiential learning theory to a discussion of how this approach to learning can be incorporated in a sport management internship program. Furthermore, this paper delineates key stakeholders’ roles and responsibilities, makes recommendations to help improve the internship process, and can serve as a blueprint for developing and administering guided-learning experiences (e.g., internships) for sport management professionals.

6. Conclusion

It is important to note that this paper is one small brick in a relatively large wall of knowledge. Current research (DeLuca & Braunstein-Minkove, 2016; Eagleman & McNary, 2010; Foster & Dollar, 2010; King, 2009; Koo, Diacin, Khojasteh, & Dixon, 2016; Odio et al., 2014; Ross & Beggs, 2007; Schneider & Steer, 2003) highlights the need for further investigation into sport management internship best practices and procedures, and that research should be expanded to include all stakeholders and all facets of the internship experience. It is suggested that future research focus on internship feasibility and opportunities to enable sport management programs to create optimal internship experiences for all stakeholders. Additionally, further research is recommended to compare levels of intrinsic motivation and achievement of learning outcomes between programs that require a sport management internship vis a vis programs that offer them on an elective basis.
