International Sports Management Academy

Sport is a proven and efficient vehicle for building and connecting communities. Sport plays an invaluable role in unifying people with a common passion. Nationalism and sports are often intertwined and sport is also a powerful instrument for diplomacy and business development. Professional management of sports is, therefore, an effective tool for society building and national progress.

International Sports Management Academy (ISMA), with its head office in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, offers an international platform for management of sports, executive programs, masterclasses and conferences with the aim to share knowledge and experience in management, operational structures and grassroots sports development.

  • Executive Programs

    The jewel on the crown of the ISMA-programs is the five-days Executive Program Sports Management, the Dutch way.

    The Action Learning Project is an important additional component based on a real life case in the participant's organisation. During the execution of the project ISMA will provide (distance) coaching to the individual participants.

Ondernemen is als fietsen. Je blijft in beweging of je valt om

Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip

Golf is een schier eindeloze reeks van tragedies zo nu en dan onderbroken door een ongelofelijk wonder

Management is weten hoe en wanneer iets af moet, leiderschap is begrijpen waarom iets moet gebeuren

Zonder wrijving geen glans

Soccer is simple but it is difficult to play it simple

TEAM; Together Each one Achieves More

Are you playing to win or not to lose?

Overnight success takes a long time

Vallen is niet falen. Falen is blijven liggen als je gevallen bent

Hoop is uitgestelde teleurstelling

Aandacht krijg je door het te geven

Zelfs de meest wijze uil is ooit een uilskuiken geweest

Verantwoordelijkheden krijg je niet, die neem je

Winnaars hebben een plan, verliezers een excuus

Om te winnen moet je pijn lijden

Het scorebord geeft alleen het resultaat

Leren is verdwalen om ergens te komen

Na een training: More confused, but on a higher level

We leven niet in een tijdperk van verandering maar in een verandering van tijdperk

Als je geen plan hebt voor je eigen leven dan wordt je ingezet in andermans plannen

Succes is 1x meer opstaan dan je gevallen bent

Je kunt niet falen, tenzij je opgeeft

If we do not get lost, we will never find a new route

Who should ultimately design the product? The customer of course

Every business is a service business. Does your service put a smile on the customers face?

The best way to predict the future is to invent it

Never give up! Failure and rejection are only the first step to succeeding

You need to play with supreme confidence, or else you will lose again, and then losing becomes a habit

Leer van de fouten van een ander, je hebt geen tijd om ze zelf te maken

Logics takes us from A to B, imagination takes us everywhere

Niet de sterkste overleeft, maar degene die zich het best kan aanpassen

If you want to influence the future, create it

When I talk to managers I get the feeling that they are Important, when I talk to leaders I get the feeling that I am important

Leadership is not a position or a title, it is action and example

Strong people don\'t take others down, they lift them up

Leaders who do not listeren will eventually be surrounded by people who have noting to say
