About Malmö FBC
On March 8th, 2007, Malmö FBC was formed. After a long process between board representatives from two former floorball clubs IBF Backalirarna and IK Stanstad, Stanstad’s members decided at an extra annual meeting to move Stanstad’s men’s team (div 2) to the city of Malmo, Sweden. Malmo, as a floorball resort, had long been a shadow on the floorball map and the two sports clubs wanted to create something bigger. This was the birth of Malmö FBC.
Malmö Floorball Club is a sports club with both a grassroots and elite focus, where the women’s / girls ‘and men’s / boys’ activities are given equal priority. Today, the gender distribution in floorball in Sweden is about 70% boys and 30% girls, but Malmö FBC believes that it can be 50/50 with the right attitude.
Sportidealisten supports the vision of Malmö FBC
“We are extremely excited to be a part of Malmö FBC. To be able to work for the sport I myself was raised up with and to be able to develop and contribute my lessons learned to leaders and players will be fun. We are looking forward to contribute and convey the societal benefits of sports to one of Malmö’s largest sports clubs. Getting to inspire tomorrow’s generation and being able to combine this with the sport I am most passionate about is very motivating”.
Jakob Wikenstaal, Founder, Sportidealisten
We are happy to start the collaboration with Sportidealisten who starts as a resource for our role as Youth Manager, one of the key roles in our club. We will gain cutting-edge expertise in the organization and build a long-term relationship with great opportunities for both parties.
Mats-Ola Nimgård, President, Malmö FBC
We are excited to be part of this journey with you Malmö FBC and let us enable more sports for the youth!
During the summer of 2021, the Olympic Games was held. Despite a special Olympics with no fans attending, the athletes made great competitions and broke many records. One thing that is getting more and more popular to talk about is what helps athletes to go higher, faster, better and together. One of the secrets to this is SportsTech. In this article, we will break down some behind the scenes from the athletic successes by sharing the SportsTech that was behind many of the athletes in the Olympic Games.
What is SportsTech?
There are several ways to explain what SportsTech is and one of the ways to explain it is described by Daniel Marcus at Forbes, where he writes that SportsTech has emerged as a viable sub-sector in the tech space. SportsTech combines two things that the general population views as “sexy”, startups/technology and sports.
In 2018, the SportsTech sector generated an estimated $2.5 Billion in venture capital funding with some estimating that number growing to over $30 Billion by 2024. Moreover, the definition of what qualifies or is considered to be SportsTech only continues to grow. When people think of the term SportsTech, they think of different kinds of wearables, media platforms like The Athletic or Overtime, and probably e-sports and gambling technologies. There was a point where the term “SportsTech” would prompt eye rolls from people like Daniel Marcus – there was a pervasive sense that the sports industry was grasping at something that simply wasn’t there. However, the space has evolved over the past few years, as SportsTech is no longer limited to the traditional areas mentioned earlier in this article, as SportsTech now includes (or at least should) – not just technology that has applications in sports but technology where sports can be used as a vehicle or a platform for the success of the company.
SportsTech is the intersection of sports and technology
To put it simply, sports tech is the intersection of sports and technology. In other words, when technology is used to create a solution in the realm of sports, it falls under the umbrella of SportsTech. Think of solutions that have changed the way athletes compete or help them improve their performance or even new ways of engaging sports fans — that’s all SportsTech.
SportsTech is here to stay and to help athletes train better and win competitions (and make money) while delivering better experiences for fans. So let us have a look at what SportsTech was part of the Olympic Games 2021.
SportsTech help athletes train better
San Francisco-based asensei helped the British rowing team prepare (see video below) with its connected coaching platform. The company raised another $2.2M to build out a library of exercises including rowing, yoga, pilates, rehabilitation, kettlebells, and TRX.
Los Angeles-based StreamRecap produces “instant automatic highlights” for high school and college athletes that help with training and recruiting. The company was one of 10 winners of this year’s NBCU SportsTech Accelerator getting exclusive access to teams and Olympic coverage this year.
Other coaching platforms with recent successes include:
New York-based Obe Fitness, which raised $15M for its “personality-driven” exercise platform;
New York-based Citytrow, which raised $12M for its at-home digital platform and chain of rowing studios.
Grand Rapids, Mich.-based MaxOne, which raised $3.5M from NBA point guard Chris Paul and others for its system that allows coaches to upload training videos for players;
Seattle-based Boost Sport, which raised $1.3M for its AI-powered video analysis software; and
Palo Alto, Calif.-based SwingVision, which was named the official shot-tracking technology for Australian tennis after raising $120k from pro tennis player Andy Roddick and others.
SevenSix, the winner of the Nordic Sports Innovation Challenge 2020.
Emerging platforms for more general audiences include A-Champs and Utah-based Freeplay.
SportsTech improves an athlete’s performanceandrecovery
Other SportsTech companies are upgrading the equipment athletes use to train and recover.
Two other NBCU accelerator winners include Atlanta-based swim apparel maker Ane Swim, which creates swim caps designed to make the water more appealing for diverse audiences; and Ohio-based Safety Skin, which sells reflective skin to improve roadside safety.
Houston-based GRINDraised $250k from Mark Cuban and others for its basketball hoop that passes the ball back to you. France-based Stendo is developing technology to help athletes recover faster by sending “cardio-synchronized massages” through an IoT-enabled bodysuit.
Oura ring is a $300 Sleep Tracker That Provides Tons of Data.
SportsTech can also applymentaltraining
Mental health took center stage at this year’s Olympics Games, providing opportunities for startups focused on the mental side of sports.
Swimmer Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian in history, recently joined the board of Australian technology startup Medibio, which uses data technology to help those dealing with depression and anxiety.
The Indian Olympic Association partnered with Dhyana, a meditation-tracking startup that uses a ring to track a user’s heart rate variability, to help all of its athletes focus on their mental wellbeing.
New York-based Sharper Sense developed a “sensory patch” that sends electrical signals into an athlete’s body to improve awareness and reaction time. Denver-based GameSense trains baseball players to recognize pitches faster, and Arete offers personalized mental training and support from an “AI-powered wellbeing coach.”
SportsTech also help athletesmakingmoney
SportsTech startups are also using tech to help athletes monetize their passion.
Toronto-based Eon Media, another NBCU SportTech Accelerator winner, helped the U.S cycling and swimming teams understand the exposure they’ll get during the Olympics through its AI-enabled video platform.
London-based SportsIcon helps athletes create “one-of-a-kind, inalterable digital memorabilia” for fans to buy, while Own The Moment works to build “the Bloomberg for NFTs.” Both companies are part of this year’s Techstars Sports Tech accelerator.
Influencer culture is expanding, with some estimating that brands will spend up to $15 billion on influencer marketing by 2022. Antourage allows sports organisations to leverage influencers, or super fans, to create interesting, engaging content.
Min Fotboll, ‘We’re in the game now’: How Sportswik helped the SvFF connect Swedish football from top to bottom. Min Fotboll allows football clubs at the grassroots level to live stream their games and enable friends and family to follow every step on the pitch.
SportsTech improves thefanexperience
SportsTech startups across the globe are creating new ways for fans to enjoy live sports, too, as well as athletes road to the Olympics.
GreenPark Sportsraised $14M for its social sports platform. The company, which was founded in 2018 by former execs at YouTube and Zappos, recently entered a partnership with the NBA so fans can outfit in-game avatars with jerseys and hats of their favorite teams.
Meanwhile, Buzzerraised $20M from pro sports legends Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky, among others, for its live-sports service that aggregates streaming rights to give users an all-in-one-app experience.
The Sonar Company recently raised $1M from Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers and others to use ultrasonic tones to communicate with fan devices. For example, instead of displaying a QR code for fans to scan on their TV, future broadcasts could play a tone only recognized by enabled devices.
A host of AR companies—including Paris-based Immersiv.io and Bangalore, India-based Edisn.ai are working to bring stats and other information to fans as they watch games.
Want to take grassroots sports to the next level? Joymo have created an innovative fixed installed camera system, the Livecaster Pro, which brings automatic action tracking and higher resolution detail and when combined with the Joymo platform elevates and empowers everyday superstars.
Ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, a local cleantech accelerator is pushing for California to win a “gold medal for clean air” by boosting electric vehicle use.
When you are in a situation where you need to increase your staff, you are also faced with a choice between several options. But question is, what is the best option for your organization? Should you ask your employees and volunteers to do a bit more? Or maybe you should hire a new employee? Maybe renting or outsourcing could be the optimal option? One of the aspects to look at is what is most profitable financially. In the sports world, we know how difficult this situation is and that usually we think it is too challenging to think about anything else than hiring or not hiring. With this article, we will help you keep track.
To hire in sports – more costs, but cheaper in the long run
When you hire in sports, you take on a great deal of responsibility and make an investment financially. Not only do you pay salary once a month, but also a variety of other costs. First and foremost, you pay for the often time-consuming recruitment process. Once you have hired someone, there is an employer contribution for each salary, pension costs and costs such as holiday and sickness compensation. Therefore, you as an employer even pay when the employee is unable to work. However, you do not need to add any extra compensation to a staffing company och consultancy, which usually means that it can be cheaper in the long run and you control everything internally.
For outsourcing and renting in sports – fewer costs and needs-based
When you rent staff or outsourcing your tasks, you usually pay a fixed hourly cost to the staffing company. This is generally more expensive than with an employment – on the other side there are many costs you will avoid. When you rent someone, it is the staffing company and not you who is the employer. This means that you hand over everything from salaries and employer contributions and various benefits to them. In addition, you can think more of needs-based, which means, you only need to get in new people during the period when it is actually needed instead of all year round. This means that you will only pay for the time that the staff is actually at the workplace and working, while you save time (which is also money) as you do not have to think about administration and recruitment.
What is most profitable depends on your needs
In terms of cost, there are both pros and cons to both alternatives. What is most economical for you simply depends on your needs in your sports organization. If you are looking for recruiting in sports for a long time to come and do not have large shifts in the workload, it can be most advantageous to hire staff in the sports industry. If you have a more varied need, where workloads vary season to season, then you would benefit to have people for a shorter period, which renting or outsourcing would be your best option. This is perfect if you want to avoid spending time and money on the administration, you have a lot to gain from hiring staff or outsourcing your workload.
Additional benefits with outsourcing in sports
If you get an assignment but do not have staff to carry it out, you get zero costs, but at the same time zero income because you don’t have people to carry out the work. When you as an organization really need that income you will be willing to pay more to really get the skills the work demands. When time is short and there is a big opportunity to bring in new income to the sports club renting or outsourcing could be a great investment in order to develop the sports club’s strategic priorities and ambitions.
Here are some additional benefits that could guide you in your future decisions:
• A way to meet tougher international competition. “Everyone chases time and has shorter and shorter foresight. Orders and deliveries, everything should be done in less time. If you do not complete the assignment, someone else will take over ”.
• Expert help when recruiting. Faster and easier to get the right skills. Opportunity to test staff and hire employees that you are happy with. You avoid costs for incorrect recruitment.
• The staffing/outsourcing company pays for long-term sick leave, rehabilitation and work clothes.
• Get help to organize and streamline operations.
• Cheaper to rent than hire fixed-term staff.
• Acquires freedom of appeal. It takes time and commitment to bring in and get rid of your own employees. Smaller personnel departments are required.
• Staffing and outsourcing companies like Sportidealisten are better than the National Public Employment Service at matching jobs with employees.

One of the things that will change the workforce in 5 years is the “gig economy”. It is all about working with different projects instead of one full-time job. Your next coach or sports marketer might stay with you for 6 months and then move further. Even though the gig economy is new to many sports clubs and workers in the sports industry, a lot of them have understood that they need to work differently in the near future to keep up with the fast-paced technological developments. In this article, we will go through the concept of the gig economy, the benefits for an employer, the trends for the labor market and the hottest jobs right now.
The gig economy at The World Economic Forum
At The World Economic Forum’s inaugural Pioneers of Change Summit where innovative leaders and entrepreneurs from around the world showcase their solutions, build meaningful connections and inspire change across the Forum’s diverse multistakeholder communities, four things were mentioned as changes of how we work in 5 years. One of these is the “gig economy”.
What is the gig economy?
The gig economy is quite similar to what we are used to calling freelancing, it’s basically the idea that the old economy was one of freelancing. Back in the days, people had their full-time jobs but every now and then they did some freelancing jobs. The new economy and ways of working, gig economy provide a platform for ad hoc tasks to be completed by freelance workers but instead of having a full-time job, freelancing is the new full-time job.
There are more and more opportunities now through new platforms for people to engage in freelancer work at every type of scale except the sports industry. These new platforms and opportunities can be done once a day, once a week.
The gig economy in the sports industry
How would it look like? If you would work within the gig economy you could continuously be shifting between employers, let’s say, working for a few hours for IOC, then switching to UEFA, then doing maybe a few hours for FIBA or Bayern Munich (this could obviously be within national sports organizations too).
Entrepreneurs in the sports industry
Being a gig economy worker could actually look like the life as an entrepreneur. You need to drive where you think you are going to find more work. We know people do what we call multi-homing, they switch between platforms. But at the same time, we see an attempt to try to streamline and create a more consistent vision of where things are going.
However, looking at the former freelancing setup working full-time and then freelance every now and then, the gig economy has now turned into more of a passion. People who joined the gig economy started to supplement their income. Maybe they added one more shift or tried to pay for their vacation, but actually more people are realizing that they actually enjoy it and enjoy the flexibility that comes with it. So, the question is if we will see more gig workers in the sports industry in the near future since the passion for sports is a common thing within the sports sector.
The growth of the gig economy in the sports industry
The European project, ESSA-Sport that was concluded in October 2019, with research aimed to create a debate within the sector on the key issues of skills and workforce development, contained some interesting insights about entrepreneurship. Even though the labor market in the European sports industry is mostly built up with employed staff there is another way to work too. With a comparison between 2011 and 2018, the labor market in the sports industry saw a rise in self-employed people. Taking into consideration this growth, we could expect a change with more gig workers in the sports industry in the coming 5 years too.
The sports labor market in Europe 2011 Employed: 81.8% Self-Employed: 18.2%
The sports labor market in Europe 2018 Employed: 79.2% Self-Employed: 20.8%
From another study made by the Boston Consulting Group, The New Freelancers – Tapping Talent in the Gig Economy, the use of gig economy platforms has increased quite a lot, especially in some bigger countries and economics. There is still a huge majority who use the gig economy as their secondary income however more and more are adopting the life as a gig worker as a primary income source.

Two things you need to know about the gig economy right now
The World Economic Forum mentions two things you might know about the gig economy.
First, that it’s big. In 2019, roughly one-in-10 workers in the UK earned a living in the gig economy. In the US, the equivalent figure was an estimated 8%. According to the World Economic Forum, there was a pan-African survey 2019 that showed that 1.3% of adult Africans now earn money from gig economy platforms (the online companies that provide the work). More and more statistics show that there is an increase all over the world working in this way.
Second, the World Economic Forum mentions that the jobs being created are not necessarily of good quality. There are several struggles for workers due to the way that the platform’s work is organised. There seem to be a number of undesirable outcomes for workers – who can suffer from low pay, wage theft, precariousness, dangerous working conditions and discrimination. Not only that the working condition could seem horrible, when any of these issues arise, platforms simply tend to point to the fact that they aren’t responsible. They tend instead to present themselves as a simple intermediary rather than an entity that has the ability to shape actual on-the-ground working conditions.
The benefits of the gig economy
What we mentioned earlier in the article gig workers didn’t only work for the necessity of earning enough money for the vacation, workers also realized the great benefits the gig economy offers with tremendous flexibility for workers and employers.
For employers, this is a benefit because it gives them flexibility and it allows them to have more workers working fewer hours, and it protects them from having to provide health insurance or higher rates of pay.
The gig economy offers more or less agility to employers that must adapt to unexpected challenges every now and then and it also provides freedom to workers who want flexible and remote work arrangements. Embracing this working style can help employers and freelancers to succeed in the future of work, no matter where or when that happens.
Is your sports club ready for the gig economy?
According to The World Economic Forum’s inaugural Pioneers of Change Summit, one of the things that will change the workforce in 5 years is the ”gig economy”, where innovative leaders and entrepreneurs from around the world showcase their solutions, build meaningful connections and inspire change across the Forum’s diverse multistakeholder communities. Another change for the next 5 years is “Remotopia, head over here to learn more about if your sports club is part of “Remotopia”?
As a sports club finding great talent could be a challenge, especially if the club is a small sports club. Most sports clubs in the Nordic sports industry are volunteer-driven which makes it even harder to find great talent. Everyone in a local sports club volunteers their time to make sure sports activities can be provided in the neighborhood or in the city they live in. However, time is always a big challenge in the sports industry.
What if a sports club could bring in a freelancer for a limited time helping them in the most stressful period of the season. This would of course be a cost but looking at the outcome of getting in another person could actually become an investment for the club. If you are limited to only spend 5 hours work, you will only be able to gain x amount of revenue, however, getting additional 5 hours could mean a bigger revenue for the club.
Another way to think about the benefits of the gig economy in the sports industry is when you applied and received funds for a new development project from your municipality or sports federation. When this happens you will always need to add a project manager to handle this new project. This is also an example of freelancers in the sports industry, working for a limited time.
Still not sure if this would suit your sports club? A good example of onboarding a new colleague or freelancer is to know what tasks should be done, what expectations your club has and what resources and time the potential colleague or freelancer has. With clear objectives and job descriptions, less time will be spent on onboarding and more time on developing the sports club and its revenues.
So is your sports club ready for the gig economy?
Find great people in the sports industry with a gig job
The gig economy is perfect for the sports industry for ad hoc tasks to be completed when time is not an option. And time is our biggest opponent in the sports labor market. If you feel that you and your sports club are stressed out or you are in need of getting more tasks done, let us know.

Sportidealisten helped them on their journey to find their dream team. In this article, we will share about Gothia Cup and how we helped Gothia Cup to recruit a sports job seeker.
As you may know, Gothia Cup has been the highlight of the year for every young footballer. Not only is it a place for footballers, but it is also a big organization that requires a lot of work to be done behind the scenes. Below is a quote from one of many who has been part of the Gothia Cup tournament.
I am proud to be part of the huge Gothia Cup Family. The tournament is part of my life. It is amazing to see how Gothia has grown and I am so fortunate year after year to get to spend time with the young people whose lives are changed through this incredible experience. I love Gothia Cup!

About Gothia Cup
Gothia Cup is the world’s largest and most International youth football tournament. Each year, around 1700 teams from 80 nations take part and they play 4500 matches on 110 pitches.
Gothia Cup was first held in 1975. The tournament was started by the football clubs BK Häcken and GAIS and a local newspaper, since the early 80’s the tournament is own entirely and solely by BK Häcken.
The organization
The organization consists of eight full-time employed staff and during the tournament more than 2500 people work.
More than a football tournament
Getting involved in children’s conditions other than on the football pitch and outside Sweden has always been an important part in Gothia Cup. Their schools in Congo, Gothia Special Olympics Trophy and SKF’s Meet the World are an example of that.
Through the years, over a million players from a total of 149 countries have participated in the tournament.
Gothia Cup starts a new tournament in Mexico
Gothia Cup expands across the Atlantic Ocean. In January 2022, the first edition of Gothia Cup Cancun will be played.
– Mexico is a genuine football country, and it feels extra fun to be able to implement the new tournament now, to be able give the youths hope and faith about the future again, after such a long lockdown due to the pandemic, says Dennis Andersson, general secretary at Gothia Cup. Read the full story here.
We believe that it is important to make a tournament a lifelong memory. With moments for everyone – moments of harmony and fellowship – moments where everyone comes together.
During the spring of 2021, Gothia Cup announced a new role to help them with their event. The Tournament Secretary, Jonas Berglund shared this on LinkedIn and Sportidealisten’s founder Jakob asked him how the response had been. Jonas told Jakob that they have received many applications already.
Jakob asked Jonas if he wanted to post on the sports job platform, Sportidealisten too. And the answer was yes!
How did it go? You will soon find out, first we want to share how it works.
Do you need to create an account or how does it work to post a sports job at Sportidealisten?
If you are an employer looking to find a new colleague, you are able to post your job ads for free at Sportidealisten. You don’t need an account or pay upfront.
You simply send us an email or contact us here. You can send a job ad completely by yourself or getting help from us and we will set it up for you. We call this being flexible, adaptable and quality assurance.
Gothia Cup found their dream team at Sportidealisten
Now back to how we helped Gothia Cup finding a new colleague.
From the day Jonas said yes to us to post the job, it only took a few weeks until Jonas got back to us and told us this:
“We have now found a candidate that we have hired for the position. I even think she found the ad via your site! Wonderfully.”
Before the expired date was reached we took down the job ad and since Jonas was so satisfied with our help he also shared a quote from the candidate, Jenny who found the sports job at Sportidealisten.
What is it like to be part of Gothia Cup?
Jenny shares her thoughts on the new job as Tournament Secretary within the project volunteers, and what is it like to be part of Gothia Cup.
It will be incredibly fun and exciting to start my next chapter with the team at Gothia Cup. As a young football girl I fantasized about participating, now I look forward to helping and developing successful tournaments for youth teams, officials and the audience. After a long pandemic, we are all looking forward to return to big festive events and it is a super interesting time to join the team at Gothia Cup!

In this article, we will share the story from Jur who is an account manager at PUMA. You will learn what PUMA is about and how to get a job in sports. What does an account manager do at PUMA and what are the tasks included? The full story is based on a podcast episode from Sports Views Podcast.
This is a shorter article based on an interview with Jur van Schijndel from the Sport Views Podcast! The sport we are talking about is mostly football but Jur has a great passion for Formula1 too. In this episode, you will learn a lot! Jur will share what it is like to work at one of the biggest sports brands, PUMA and what it is all about, why he thinks sport studies is a great career step. We also talk about sales skills and communication skills and how he made it to PUMA.
Finding your passion and importance of network and sport studies
Jur’s first sports memory was basically that he lived on the football pitch. With this, he means that he spent all his spare time and weekends on the pitch playing and watching football. Then later on in life, he started to ask himself what he should do later in life. He started to think about what he enjoys and realized that sports are always fun and that brought him to study sport marketing studies. He did a 4-year study in 3 years, including two summer schools and 1 semester abroad.
Just be yourself, be confident what you did in the past and just go for it.
Jur van Schijndel
When he looks back at his experiences from the summer schools and the exchange semester he shares his expectations and results being at a summer school. He also talks about gaining multicultural experiences, practical views of how things are. But also the great importance of networking. ”You never know who you met before that you can use later on…” is a phrase that suits the network effect. In the interview, Jur also shares why he did an exchange semester and that the biggest lesson learned being abroad was dealing with people from other cultures.
What is PUMA about?
PUMA is a lifestyle explains Jur. He said that basically, the mission at PUMA is making sure people enjoy the lifestyle of PUMA and the importance of following your passion.
Looking at what PUMA says themselves, they say:
THIS IS PUMA – Sport has the power to transform and empower us. As one of the world’s leading sports brands, it’s only natural that we want to stand on the same playing field as the fastest athletes on the planet. To achieve that, the PUMA brand is based on the very values that make an excellent athlete.
Sport is our world. This makes us passionate about designing, developing, selling and marketing footwear, apparel and accessories. In the course of more than 70 years, PUMA has made history as a creator of fast product designs for the fastest athletes on the planet: We enhance sports such as football, running and training, golf, basketball and motorsports with performance and sport-inspired lifestyle products. Headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Germany, PUMA’s more than 13,000 employees push sports and culture forward in more than 120 countries.
Before Jur got his job at PUMA he did two internships at PUMA within marketing and performance and the second one didn’t he want to do, but at the end of the internship period, he finally enjoyed it.
If you listen to the episode that you can find below you will get the opportunity to get recommendations of how to apply for an internship role at PUMA.
One advice when applying for jobs is to just be yourself, be confident what you did in the past and just go for it.
”You never know who you met before that you can use later on…”
Jur van Schijndel
What does an account manager do at PUMA?
First of all Jur and his colleagues at PUMA are making sure people enjoy the lifestyle of PUMA and following their passion.
As an account manager your work with sales. You have some stores that sell PUMA products and you are helping them to sell and make the most out of providing PUMA at their stores. But no matter what, even if it is mostly about sales he puts focus on the important skill of communication that is more important than sales skills. Because in the end, the sales will become better when the relationship is better.
Lessons from sports
Jur thinks you are born with a passion for something and in his story, sports is his passion. He talks about the emotions that sports bring is great. But he also talks about the people involved. Every sport is a team sport, there are always more people involved behind the athlete.
If you are unsure how to know what do do next, then Jur shares a good idea in the end of the podcast.
Jur also shared some book recommendations and Jur recommends:
Open by Andre Agassi
Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of NIKE by Phil Knight
Also, Jur had a question to the audience, feel free to answer in the comments below:
Jur wants to know what you do in sports! Please share to us at our email or on Social Media.

Thinking about that dream job? In addition to creating and submitting your CV when you apply for a sports job, the other important part of a job application is the cover letter. This document gives you the opportunity to present who you are and what you can contribute with. In this post, we will share our four great tips for your cover letter in the sports industry.
Here are four great tips for your cover letter in the sports industry
Be short and concise in your cover letter in the sports industry
To begin with, keep in mind that the person reading your job application probably has limited time to devote to each application. It can be as tough as it is 25-30 seconds to make a first impression on the reader. This rule of thumb especially applies to services that many seek. Therefore, it is important that you make your application concrete, concise, easy to understand, attractive and easy to understand. Everything to make it easier for those who read your application.
It is about you in your cover letter in the sports industry
As it sounds, the personal letter is about you. It is your opportunity to “sell” yourself. While it should be short and concise, it should also arouse interest in you as a person and make you the pink elephant in the room among the other applicants. It is a personal letter, though not a private letter. Thus, you should be personal without becoming too private. In comparison with your CV, this forum is where you can tell about things that are not included in your CV. Be careful to use clichés and phrases, preferably avoid them altogether.
What value you will contribute with in your cover letter in the sports industry
Do not look too far back in time. Even if you should be able to tell what you have done before to arouse interest in a new job, it is not just a matter of looking in the rearview mirror. Also think about what you can contribute to the organization you are looking for a job for. What exactly can YOU add and create together with them in the future.
Keep it positive in your cover letter in the sports industry
Finally, also think about how you write your personal letter. We all have bad memories or have made mistakes. Be positive. Try to keep a positive tone, firmly in writing. Try to develop qualities that are associated or describe you as a positive person. Once you know what you can add according to # 3, talk about what added value you are contributing. Throughout the application, you should avoid telling about bad experiences with previous employers or old colleagues. Though you can turn a bad experience into something you did well. So you create and contribute with a positive feeling. Nothing remains negative in the application simply.

If you have already applied for a Sport Management program this year, then we recommend that you still keep an eye out for vacancies in the world of sports. Because you never know what opportunities that may arise.
2 underestimated but important tips for your sports job application
Be sure to spell, grammar and review the layout in your application
Make sure that your application does not contain any spelling or grammatical errors. This can be crucial for your chances to land that dream job. Any errors like these could help the recruiter to go on with another candidate.
Feel free to ask a friend to proofread your application to make sure no language mistakes exist. One common mistake is to mix fonts and font sizes. Go through all headings and paragraphs separately or mark all text and delete format in order to start from scratch with the same font throughout your whole application. Then you can put headings into a heading font.
Last but not least, the layout is part of the application too. If the text is in different colors or if there are more spaces between one paragraph at one place than another the recruiter will react negatively. Ask a friend to check this too. Ensure that your application has an appealing layout.
Follow the instructions
Be sure to read the job advertisement carefully and follow the instructions given by the employer. Sometimes the employer wants special documents such as grades, certificates, register extracts, etc. sent with the application. Sometimes people forget that thing about attaching the grades or some sort of a register. If a recruiter is not getting all information they are looking for, you will limit your chances of getting that job. Make sure that your application is complete with all the information that the employer requests. Answer correctly.
The employer may have requests for how the application should be submitted. It may be that they want the application to be sent by e-mail or by letter or only be send in via their own application system.
The application may also need to be addressed to a specific person or department or a reference number. So make sure to read through the job advertisement you are applying to.
2 tips of how to create a great sports job application
In this post about how to create a great sports job application, we share two underrated tips for your sports job application. To summarize, make sure to:
1) be careful about the spelling, grammar and the layout of your application
2) follow the instructions in the job advertisement. It easily happens that all focus is on creating your CV based on what you have done and then a cover letter that should say something about you. It is very easy to forget the additional information that the employer requested.
So for your next sports job application, read through the job advertisement, create your content, and when you are done, check out the grammar and how your application looks like. Finally, go through the job advertisement again and see if all the points requested are answered.
Good luck with your future sports job applications.

Have you ever asked yourself, how to use LinkedIn to find a job in sports? LinkedIn is the professional platform for every industry to connect and find like-minded people, finding clients and customers, but it is also a great platform to find a job in sports. This article is a short one where we bring up some good tips of how to find a job in sports, how to apply for a job in LinkedIn and some benefits for sports employers and job seekers to use LinkedIn.
Is LinkedIn a good tool to find a job in sports?
When our founder was interviewed at the Halftime Snacks podcast he got a question about the impact of LinkedIn to find a job in the sports industry. Here is what Jakob answered.
I think it’s actually the platform for showing your professionalism or where you aim to be. The people at LinkedIn have done a great job so far with building this professional approach to finding jobs. I think there’s a lot of great jobs out there on LinkedIn. And some of them are posted from the hiring organization looking for candidates and some are the recruiting firms that post. And some of the job posts on LinkedIn are from sports organizations. But yes, there many different jobs on LinkedIn and some are for us in the sports industry.
Easy to apply for sports jobs on LinkedIn
So from a job seeker side of it, I think there are actually great opportunities out there. And it’s easy to apply for a job because you can also share your resume very easily, so to say, from your LinkedIn page immediately. Basically, applying for LinkedIn jobs is so easy that it is enough to share your LinkedIn profile as a resume.
Another great thing about LinkedIn and having an updated LinkedIn profile is that many hiring organizations also provide the opportunity to apply with your LinkedIn account on their recruiting platforms.
No matter if you apply for jobs via LinkedIn or on other platforms with the help of using your LinkedIn profile, the importance of an updated LinkedIn profile is hugh!
However, some sports jobs ads on LinkedIn will be more basic and will ask you to send in your normal resume via the hiring organization’s email. So sometimes you just have to accept that some organizations aren’t that modern yet.
So is LinkedIn a good tool to find a sports job?
I would say so! I think it’s worth it.
If you have an updated profile that you’re making sure looks professional, you will have come far and have already improved your chances of getting a sports job via LinkedIn. Just make sure to have a good (serious/professional) picture, a realistic title, the latest working experiences added, and so on.
The importance of LinkedIn in the sports industry
If you’re thinking about a sports job and want to act professionally, you should start with your LinkedIn profile. Is it up to date? The sports industry is smaller than you think and when people find you on LinkedIn you want to make sure to capture their attention and when they are checking out your name or your profile page, you want to make sure they are seeing the latest version of you.
Another point of the important of LinkedIn in the sports industry is that if you are applying for a sports job, the chances that the hiring manager is looking at you on LinkedIn are quite high.
That’s one way to look at it. And for me, you shouldn’t look at LinkedIn as the one thing. You should look at LinkedIn as a tool that can help you boost your career, either finding a sports job or finding great candidates, and so on. But don’t look at it as the only way. We have to use it as a tool to help us increase our chances to find the next sports job or the next candidate.

One of the things that will change the workforce in 5 years is “Remotopia”. It is all about working from home. Less than 5% of workers did their jobs remotely before 2020. Now, more than half of knowledge workers work remotely. Even though remote working arrangements are new to many sports clubs and workers, a lot of them have understood that they need to think and collaborate in different ways than before. In this article, we go through the concept of Remotopia, the benefits for an employer, the trends for the labor market and the hottest jobs right now.
At The World Economic Forum’s inaugural Pioneers of Change Summit where innovative leaders and entrepreneurs from around the world showcase their solutions, build meaningful connections and inspire change across the Forum’s diverse multistakeholder communities, four things were mentioned as changes of how we work in 5 years. One of these is “Remotopia”.
In the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a number of high-profile companies – Facebook, Google, PayPal, Shopify, Siemens, and more – have announced long-term or permanent remote work policies. But many in the sports industry have taken these steps towards a remote working environment too.
Remote working arrangements, which are new to many companies, sports clubs and workers, require vastly different ways of thinking and collaborating. For example, the emerging normalcy of distributed workforces will place even greater importance on soft skills such as communication, relatability, empathy, and flexibility. Even though the start of the pandemic had a big negative hit on the sports clubs all over the world, the majority have adapted to the digital setup and started to understand that they can work on a remote setup too.
The benefits of remotopia
Studies show that remote employees work longer hours and are more productive than in-office counterparts. Both workers and employers alike must learn to balance those gains with increased likelihood of burnout and feelings of isolation. Additionally, recruiting for knowledge workers can expand to new geographies and include previously underrepresented populations like disabled or chronically ill workers. These changing dynamics will move to the HR forefront in the years to come. Today you don’t need to find your next hire in your sports local area, you can actually find the right candidate living in another city!
Looking at today’s working environment most sports clubs have understood that they can complete more tasks remotely and have understood that this opens up new opportunities for the sports industry’s working force. As an HR manager, you can now hire and find more qualified candidates with the setup of a remote working environment. Also, you don’t have to consider the sports office as it was prior to the pandemic. Today the sports offices will be enough with space for some working areas, meanwhile, we will see more jobs being held on a remote basis. This means, fewer costs at the office and less time spent on travel, and more qualified time for work.
Remote jobs and skills in focus 2021
LinkedIn analyzed job trends in 15 countries around the world for its annual Jobs on the Rise report. The hottest jobs for 2021 can all be done remotely, according to work trends – meaning that people with strong digital skills will have a significant advantage in the jobs market. If you’re in the market for a new role, and you have the right skills for a position in e-commerce, healthcare, or digital content, you’re in luck: they’re all on the list of LinkedIn’s predictions for the hottest jobs of 2021.
The labor market will become more democratized since there are more opportunities for employees who may not be based in major urban hubs and this will open up access to fresh talent for employers. However, the key will not only be about bringing new great talents into your staff, but you also need to be prepared for how to introduce the new remote employees and sharing your culture and how things work in your sports club.
One step to consider when hiring your next remote employee is to assess your own team according to soft skills such as communication, relatability, empathy, and flexibility. If you feel that you are in need of strengthening these skills you could take the opportunity to upskill yourself and your team via all the great online education that you can find here.
If you’re in the market for a new role, and you have the right skills for a position in e-commerce, healthcare, or digital content, you’re in luck: they’re all on the list of LinkedIn’s predictions for the hottest jobs of 2021.

Less than 5% of workers did their jobs remotely before 2020. Now, more than half of knowledge workers work remotely.
Even though remote working arrangements are new to many sports clubs and workers, a lot of them have understood that they need to think and collaborate in different ways than before. Skills to manage in 2021 and forward will be of greater importance on soft skills such as communication, relatability, empathy, and flexibility. Even though the start of the pandemic had a big negative hit on the sports clubs all over the world, the majority have adapted to the digital setup and started to understand that they can work remotely too.
The hottest jobs for 2021 can all be done remotely with employees who have strong digital skills. Positions in e-commerce, healthcare, or digital content, will be the hottest jobs of 2021. If you are looking for a job in sports, make sure to develop your skills today.
If you are an employer then hiring a remote worker could enable you to hire the best candidate available despite their location. This also provides opportunities to find talents with great digital skills that could help your sports club to be ready for the coming 5 years.

Top 5 difficulties expressed for retaining staff
Before the pandemic a 3-year European project, ESSA-Sport project was concluded in October 2019. A research aimed to create a debate within the sector on the key issues of skills and workforce development. The aim of the ESSA-Sport project, funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ programme, was to establish a European Sector Skills Alliance covering the full breadth of the sport and physical activity sector across the EU.
One of the highlights for this article is the Top 5 difficulties expressed for retaining staff.
Better pay by other organizations
Lack of career progression/pathways
Better pay offered in other job roles
Lack of financial stability for the organization
Lack of commitment to the job
Many organizations struggle to retain their staff but the question is more why they haven’t known these problems with their staff earlier and solved them before it is too late. One good way to solve these difficulties is to ask your staff how they are doing and listen to what they are saying both orally and with their body language. However, actually, everything starts at recruiting. When you hire a new staff member you should have understood the person and pointed down what their motivations are and how they view their future years at the organization. This is why we really want to help you avoid struggles with retention of staff and start with your next hire.

Culture compatibility recruiting questions
Culture compatibility is one of the hottest criteria that recruiters look for in candidates. When candidates align to your company culture, they are more likely to be engaged, productive, and less likely to churn within the first year. Here are 2 interview questions that you should be asking your candidates to ensure they fit in with your company culture.
What type of work environment do prefer and find motivating?
How do you handle stress/pressure?
Communication skills recruiting questions
Communication skills are necessary, regardless of an employee’s role. During the time at your company, hires will be required to communicate within your team, with different departments, and even customers and fans. These questions will help you understand your future employee’s communication skills.
Tell me about a time where you were the expert in a subject and had to explain to someone else. What was the subject and how did you go about explaining it to someone who was new or unfamiliar?
Give me an example of when you had to interact with a difficult client/customer. What were the circumstances of the interaction? How did you handle this difficulty? Were you able to change the experience from negative to positive?
Self motivation recruiting questions
Self motivation and commitment to your company are important soft skills that you’ll want in any hire. These 2 interview questions will help you determine if a candidate will be committed and happy at your company, or if they’ll churn immediately at the sight of a pay raise.
What motivates you to come to work everyday?
If you find yourself stuck doing repetitive work, how do you motivate yourself to continue and complete it?
Describe a time where there was a problem at work and you had to come up with a creative solution to resolve it.
Describe a situation where you faced a challenge in doing your job. What were the challenges, and how did you overcome them?
Team player recruiting questions
Will your new hire be nice with others? If they’re an individual contributor, then you may be able to get away with hiring someone who is not as much of a collaborator. However, the majority of hires will need to be able to collaborate or work within teams of various sizes. Use the 2 questions below to determine their preferred role on teams and level of collaboration.
If you notice a member of your team is struggling, what would you do?
