                     A Thorough Guide Explaining Everything about 
 Bachelor of Sports Science (BSS) and Master 
of  Sports Science (MSS)
International Institute of Sports Management (IISM) is a Sports Management  
Education Institute established in 2010 with an aim to provide excellent education  
to sports enthusiast students interested in pursuing an education in Sports  
Management.
IISM offers three full-time Sports Management Courses: –
1. Bachelor of Sports Management
2. Masters of Sports Management
3. Post-graduate program in Sports Management.
The courses offered by the institute are curated under the guidance from the experts 
 of the sports fraternity and are in collaboration with the University of Mumbai and 
 Garware Institute of Career Education & Development (GICED).
The institute offers the perfect combination of theoretical classroom training and  
practical on-field application blended programs. The benefit of such courses is that  
it provides the ideal environment for the students to develop their management 
skills,  orientation and capabilities.
The students also learn about entrepreneurial, leadership skills, and professional  
competence. We train our students in such a way that once they have completed 
our  courses, they will be in a position to identify and fulfill the gaps of the sport’s  
corporate world.
Sports industry today
The pandemic created major headwinds in the sports industry in 2020 which led to  
fewer sporting opportunities which took a heavy toll and the industry only 
generated  INR 5894 Cr ($796 Mn), in revenue.
But after some minor turbulence in 2021, the industry bounced right back and spun  
into action generating revenue of INR 9530 Cr ($1288 Mn). Now you might be  
wondering how did the industry manage to surpass $1000 Mn in just a year? it was  
solely because of three factors; sponsorships, athlete endorsements, and media  
spending by brands.
As per the report from the FICCI document, the sports industry will employ 
roughly
43.7 lakh people over the years in India. This is enough to prove that India’s 
sporting  eco-system will be upgraded with world-class experts who will cover the 
entire  spectrum of the industry.
This means that more coaches, track and field experts, sports medicine experts,  
trainers, sports nutrition experts, sports psychologists, strength trainers, 
competition  managers, sports photographers, journalists, law experts, and 
nutritionists will be  needed in the future.
Taking it further and to ensure our students get the full support and appreciation 
they  deserve our experts from IISM established the School of Sports Science.
What is the School of Sports Science?
Considering the long-term objective of our sports industry, the team from IISM 
who  pioneered in Sports Management Education in 2011 established the School of 
Sports  Science in 2022.
We have trained over 1800 students who are now employed across various mega  
sporting bodies and federations in India and overseas. Our team have curated these
specialized courses in collaboration with the experts from the University of 
Mumbai  and the Garware Institute of Career Education & Development (GICED).
Our vision is to become a key contributor in making India a sporting country and to 
 be a catalyst of the growth by being the Center of Excellence in Sports 
Management  & allied areas of Education.
Our mission is to help carve Sports Management heroes who would represent India  
on the global map and in leading sporting events like FIFA World Cups, Asian  
Games, Commonwealth Games, The Olympics, and other Major Leagues. We aim  
to provide support and nourishment at the grassroots levels across India and  
overseas.
What is Sports Science?
Sports Science is that branch of science that analyzes physiology, biomechanics,  
psychology, biochemistry, and strength conditioning that enhances the  
comprehensive performance of the athletes to improve the results, enhance  
performance, and reduce any kinds of on-field injuries, prehab, rehab, and assist in  
winning championships.
Sports Science is that domain that identifies the factors that impact sports  
performance and suggests strategies that will help improve the play of the athletes.
Our main objective of introducing Sports Sciences is to provide assistance to the  
current sports industry to eradicate any gap between the demand and supply of  
scientists, and experts in India and overseas. The knowledge imparted in this field is 
 not restricted to athletes but is also beneficial for professionals who want to make 
a  contribution to the overall success of the sports industry.
