The Australian Sport Industry
Location
Australia: Cairns, Melbourne, Sydney
Description
Australia's devotion to sport is so intense that it is sometimes humorously described as "the national religion". Its athletes have excelled in a range of sports globally, and their government-supported system has a lot to do with this success. The Australian government spends the most money in the world per capita on elite athlete development and fittingly, the Aussies have led the last four summer Olympic Games in medals per capita. Australians also enjoy excellent recreational facilities and programs for the non-elite as a part of the government philosophy of "Sport for All".
Highlights
Australia offers great opportunities for students interested in sport to visit and study this unique and successful model of sport. You will learn sport through lectures, site visits, meetings with academics and other students. You will also experience the Great Barrier Reef, rainforests, Surfers Paradise Beach, Sydney Harbor and visit a wildlife park.
