Sports-related litigation continues to escalate in America year after year, due at least partially to increased pressure in the multi-billion dollar sport industry for all who are involved in the operation of sport. Risk Management in Sport: Issues and Strategies is a unique book in which 30 professionals, resembling a Who's Who of sport law and risk management, share their experiences and expertise to identify current issues confronting the industry. The mission of this book is intentionally unique. Appenzeller not only identifies current issues confronting the sport industry, but also enables readers to develop risk management strategies that will assist them in setting guidelines, policies, plans and procedures -- making the sport industry safer and less litigious.
