This Executive Program is NOT about packaging up information. It's about career transformation and game-changing results.

The WHY of this Executive Program is: Master the rules of the sports industry. Use them. Or change them.

It equips you with a sense of anticipation—the ability to discern what is likely to come next—enabling you to stay ahead of the curve and lead rather than follow.

The curriculum has been carefully identified and developed to cover the knowledge and skills participants need to achieve their professional goals in the sports industry.

The lecturers are not just university professors or academics but also and mainly, each one in his field, among the most respected, renowned and successful professionals in the sports industry. They practise what they teach, at the highest level, every day.

The lecturers represent all stakeholders in the sports industry which ensures you learn all sides of law, economics and geopolitics in sport, and not only the one inspired by the interests of sports governing bodies. You learn all points of view.

Hence, our aim is to provide you with the tools that will enable you to learn more objectively, to think more accurately and to act more effectively. Our final ambition is to enable you to flourish in a complex but exciting sector.

If this is what you are looking for, this Executive Program is right for you.

We think so and have designed it to be so. There are many “masters in sports law”, which usually include one economics subject or another. Some of these masters are excellent. But those that are worthwhile generally last one academic year and represent a considerable investment of time and money.

“Law, Economics and Geopolitics of Professional Sports: How to be successful, globally and locally” is a very high-quality, time and cost-effective alternative to the traditional approach: in 46 hours of curated online Lectures and 4 hours of Live Sessions, world-class lecturers and key players in the sector will highlight and summarize for you the essentials of their knowledge and expertise.

In addition, at the end of each module, they will provide you with a detailed list of the best readings and sources, which will enable you - if you wish - to delve deeper into a particular aspect of the subject.

In short, in 50 hours of curated, dense and practical Masterclasses, you will acquire a comprehensive and effective knowledge of law, economics and geopolitics applied to professional sport. At the highest level. Faster.
