In conjunction with the National Sports Summit hosted by the General Sports Authority (GSA), Dr. Bonnie Tiell, Professor of Sports Management, will be conducting a week of training workshops for approximately 90 administrators and executives from national teams, Olympic federations and sports properties in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The events will take place from February 4 to February 9.
Through an agreement with the U.S. Sports Academy where Tiell serves as a national faculty member, the workshops will be held at the Regency Intercontinental Hotel in Manama, Bahrain’s capital. The workshops on developing sports governance and ethical conduct, strategic management principles and advanced sports marketing will be translated into Arabic and interrupted by two of the five prayer sessions that take place daily in the predominantly Islamic country.
“I am honored and excited to share my knowledge of this industry with international audiences,” said Tiell. “One of the most rewarding aspects of being in this line of work is that it allows one to form connections with nearly every culture. Though the games played may vary across nations, the value of participating in sports and recreation is universal.”
The General Sports Authority of the Kingdom of Bahrain was established in 2021 by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Kahlifa.
