A running thread in these charters is the centrality of the athletes in governance structures and the importance of their contribution to matters affecting them
Athletes’ voices do not and should not always be seen as coming from a negative perspective
For as long as organisations provide the medium through which athletes can be and feel part of the management structure, our administration of sports will certainly get better
Sports administration and management is an honourable and distinguished service. There are many benefits to having proximity to legends in sports.
