The directions and structure of the dissertation is in the file list, but I am also going to include extra details of what I want that isn’t on the attached forms. I also Included my research proposal which will give you insight on my research topic and where Im trying to go with it. The research proposal touches on a lot but I want to focus on how the ethics of sports management is poor and the effects of athletes being exploited by poor sports management because of pressures within the system.
Intro what the structure says and below. (Approx.500-750 words)
Dissertation Topic is :
Effects of athletes being exploited by poor sports management because of pressures within the system.
(For example athletes get an injury like a concussion or anything while engaged in a sport. The management team continues to have that player play or they make the player feel like they better suck it up or the next person will take their spot. I want to research the effects of this exploitation and how it is harming these athletes mentally and physically. They think they’re doing a good job but they aren’t and it shows through research)
Research Question: In what ways do managers encourage athletes to return from injury to quickly.
Sub research question1: In what ways do players feel they’ve been rushed back to quickly?
Sub research question 2: How has it changed over time?
Not sure about this one I’ll leave it up to you whether you want to include this sub research question. How does the effects of poor sports management effect Athletes physical and mental well being?
Lit Review: what the structure says and the Ideas on what to include: Approx 2500-3000 words)
I had the idea to start with well being of work in general. How employers take care of their employees. And to narrow down to sports team and how they’re no exception.
Show how it didn’t always use to be this way, show how it used to be good.
Another section can be how clubs are doing well with their managing
Another section can be how clubs are doing bad with their management well being.
Main research question and sub research question at the end of the lit review
Research Methods what the structure says and will be strictly qualitative and interviews only. (Approx 2000 words)
The interviews should be with:
5-6 athletes that are college athletes
5-6 pro athletes
5-6 retired athletes
Club Doctors (maybe some questions can be on how they’ve been overruled)
Coaches any level.
Example a question for retired athletes who are probably older can be: What was it like in the 80’s or 90’s when concussion weren’t cared for?
Because you are writing everything please come up with the “questions” you would ask the athletes. Because of this pandemic it will be hard to actually question people so I don’t care if the answers are fabricated, just use answers that help toward the paper. But I will leave the what questions to ask and things to you so you can make it flow with the direction of the paper. If you want to give me questions to ask athletes then I will do that part if you don’t want to fabricate the results. Please let me know.
Analysis: what the structure says self explanatory
Discussion: What the structure says self explanatory (approx. 2500-3000)
Conclusion: What the structure says self explanatory (Approx. 500 words)
Include research questions in appendices
Include citations in references.
Last time I used this site I got a paper with sources that did not match the information on the paper. Please use the sources from wherever you paraphrase or get the information from. Thank you. I said 60 sources but it can be more if needed, pretty much use what is needed for an adequate dissertation. I also gave you approximations on what I think the word count should be for each section but if you need more or less use your own discretion for an adequate dissertation. Please keep in mind I would like the Word count Maximum to be 12000, It cannot be more. If you have any questions please ask me.
