Recently, sports institutions have witnessed significant renewal and development, particularly in the field of management. Many modern management methods have been introduced to keep pace with the rapid and continuous developments of the times. Traditional management no longer meets the demands of this era and is unsuitable for the ever-changing knowledge society. In a fast-evolving, highly competitive world, only those capable of delivering and achieving sustainability can succeed. This world is characterized by speed, quality, precision, and achievement, making it imperative to adopt new and innovative management methods that enhance the skills of employees, increase their motivation to work and achieve, and make them more effective and creative. They need to race against time, surpass current realities, and foresee the future.
