Abstract
SPORTS PROGRAM MANAGEMENT OF EASTERN SAMAR STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM: ISSUES AND EXPRESSED SOLUTIONS describes the perceived issues of the sports program management of Eastern Samar State University, in Eastern Samar, Philippines. This in order to attain consensually expressed solutions coming from athletes and coaches.
It covers, in general, the sporting events conducted within its 5 campuses, and its participated regional and national sports competitions system in the regional and national levels with its performance ratings and outcomes, reflective of the current sports program management.
It also specifically covers the current financial and support services on sport facilities, sport equipment, sport trainings and sport competitions – all affecting the sports program management of the institution.
Challenges and opportunities encountered are also presented – as voiced by coaches and athletes - noting that there is a significant comparative drop in the number of delegations and wins at the National State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA) Games vis-a-vis the inter-campus Quintuple Games.
Sports program management is consequently considered a key element in making sporting events better.
The cumulative data of this descriptive study - employing both qualitative and quantitative techniques - recommend that the sporting events – starting at the inter-campus Quintuple Games - be representative of equitable participation, a key factor in winning games.
This can be done by expanding and professionalizing the support services for athletes such as a) sport facilities, b) sport equipment, c) sport trainings, and d) sport competitions – all affecting the sports program management of the institution.
Deserving urgent attention, these concerns are data needing immediate action by way of sports reformation for the whole ESSU system. Its concrete expression is an institutionalized sports program management of the Eastern Samar State University system.
