Research limitations/implications:Introducing entrepreneurship education into sport will help develop learning initiatives that advance the scholarship of sport education within the University sectorPractical implications: The benefits of including entrepreneurship education in sport studies could be of interest to directors of education wanting to increase student enrolments and interest in their courses.Originality/value:The study suggests ways to offer more interdisciplinary courses and activities linking entrepreneurship education to sport. This needs to be taken into consideration as it will enable the development of sport entrepreneurship education that improves links between academic research with policy and business initiatives |
