Biography
She is a Professor in department of Recreation, Sport & Tourism at University of Illinois.
Research Interest
My research focuses on sport development. At a conceptual level, sport develo pment is concerned with the ways in which sport programs grow, interact, and are resourced. The study of sport development examines the growth and management of sport at individual, group, community, organizational, and societal levels. The intellectual aim of this work is to elaborate a model that identifies factors that facilitate or inhibit the development of sport at each level, and that describes the separate, cumulative, and interactive effects of those factors within and across levels. The practic al outcome of such work is enhanced effectiveness in the governance, administration, marketing, and policymaking for sport programs and sport systems.
