Managing high-performance sport: introduction to past, present and future considerations

High-performance (HP) sport has emerged as an umbrella term that captures the enormity,
growth and pervasive nature of elite sports on the global scene. This special issue
of European Sport Management Quarterly focuses on ‘Managing High-Performance
Sport’ by including a number of articles that highlight the breadth of this topic. In this
introduction, we address definition challenges and the evolution of HP sport. Then, we
offer insights on the contributions of the articles presented and the ways they assist in
expanding the theoretical and practical boundaries of HP sport. We conclude with reporting
on current and future trends in the field that may guide research and practice.
