For this assignment, you are asked to visit another local facility in your area to identify and determine the day-to-day operations and procedures performed at the facility and to conduct a personal interview with the director or manager.
Contact this person, and schedule a day and time for this visit. If this is not an option for you, you may elect to conduct a personal interview with the director or manager via phone, email, Skype, Zoom, Join Me, or any other conference-friendly application that will yield the answers to questions posed in the interview.

responsibilities and duties of other various positions;
best practices/processes in sport consumer behavior;

effects/influences of media relations;
communication techniques;
impact of facility practices (social, cultural, legal, and economic);
and skills required in the sport industry.
