In this paper, several of these challenges are analyzed and management strategies for strengthening professional preparation in sport and leisure management are reviewed.

Family Life Cycle Analysis: An Applied Example In A Tourism Setting, Deborah Kerstetter, Richard Gitelson

Visions in Leisure and Business

Researchers have utilized the concept of family life cycle to better understand leisure behavior. In fact, it has been proposed as a potentially useful variable for both "recreation product companies and recreation administrators to use in segmenting markets and predicting demand". (9) The purpose of this study was to determine if there were significant differences between couples who traveled either with or without children. In all, 2,700 surveys were mailed to persons who had requested the North Carolina Travel Information Packet. A total of 1,887 (69.9%) were received. A factor analysis was performed on 26 reasons (benefits sought) for taking …

Leisure Education And The Family, Ann M. Rancourt

Visions in Leisure and Business

Having and utilizing free time is often a problem for individuals and for families. Family leisure education, focusing on lifestyles and leisure, or family wellness and the role of leisure may be a first step in addressing that problem. No other profession is specifically charged with the responsibility of educating for leisure; that charge is unique to the recreation and leisure profession.

By exploring the components of leisure education, especially self …

Family Games And Recreation Activities, Dale N. Le Fevre

Visions in Leisure and Business

In modern America, family games and activities have largely disappeared. However, in the last decade a number of activities which have started to meet his needs. The focus is on New Games, an activity that the author knows and does best.

New Games is for all people regardless of age, size, sex or ability. Some games are old, some slightly changed, others new or invented by participants. Winning is not important--playing and having fun is. The rules are flexible and no equipment is needed, just people.

Changing a New Game is part of the game. New Games can be played …

Youth Competition: Problems And Solutions, Neil I. Cohen

Visions in Leisure and Business

The obsession Americans have with being #1 has led to an attitude of disdain toward all those who do not achieve the status of champion. We fail to realize that for every successful college athlete there are tens of thousands of college students. For every professional athlete there are hundreds of thousands of successful adults raising families and contributing to their communities and to society.

If there is any meaning to active participation, doing one's best within acceptable criteria, it appears to have been lost since that infamous day Howard Cosell coined the word "Superstar."

Parents expect and demand success …
