Sports Consulting

Availability and interest

Consulting:

I am happy to work with bid teams and host teams on a short term basis to discuss aspirations to host or plans to implement a selected bid plan. My relevant areas of expertise are: International Relations and the Olympics, Strategizing IOC host elections, Olympic legacy in an Olympic bid proposal, implementing legacy plans for OCOGS, and ethno-national performance within Games events. Longterm partnership is possible depending on needs and my circumstances.

Sports policy in a variety of areas, pertaining primarily to the areas of sports/culture, sports/politics, youth and college engagement, and sport in society, are areas I enjoy working in with local/state government, colleges/universities, and relevant organizations. Much of my international sports / politics expertise can be ported to domestic topics and I welcome such inquiries as well.

Guest Lectures and Discussion Panels:

My experience section lists some lectures I have given on International Sports and politics. I have the background to speak on the history of international sports, recent trends and issues in the Olympics and the World Cup, International Sports in Asia, International Sports in the United States and Canada, and nationalism and the Olympic games. I have given lectures to high school and college level assemblies, academic professionals, and the general public. I have participated in and led discussion panels on various topics in International Relations and international Sports.
