As amateur sport leadership evolves, more and more amateur soccer clubs are looking to their Technical Director to evolve into broader sport business leadership, in the form of an Executive Director or General Manager role. How have these individuals fared when transitioning from pure technical leadership to the broader realm of sport business management, that includes potentially new and untrained areas of specialty such as finance, risk, marketing and communications?

In this episode of The Regista Room, Paul Varian sits down at a virtual table with the Executive Directors - all of whom were previously in technical leadership roles - from four of Canada's top amateur soccer clubs, located across the country from Vancouver on the west coast to Halifax on the east.

Listen to these former coach leaders talk about the challenges they faced in moving from a 'track suit' to 'blue suit' environment and where their technical expertise gave them a significant advantage. If you're a coach or coach leader who is eyeing possibilities for your career in broader sport organizational management, this episode is a 'must listen' for you!
