Background Of The Study

Sport, as a special sociocultural miracle, is a historically determined exertion of people connected with the use of physical exercises, which is aimed at preparing and sharing in a especially organized system of competitions, as well as the individual and socially significant results of similar exertion( Brassie, 2008).

Structured sports conditioning give an avenue to engage in competitive hobbies that have profitable significance and develop strong social connections with others. Active recreation provides a more unshaped physical exertion space that individualities can use freely in their rest time and achieve a particular sense of enjoyment.

still, participation in sports is at colorful situations, similar as amateur athlete,non-professional or professional athlete, as well as recreational actors. The amateur athlete regularly and directly engages in a formal competition under established rules of a sport’s governing body but doesn’t admit any delectation or external prices except glories, pestilences, instrument, etc. Anon-professional athlete may bear plutocrat to share in a sport, but may draw on that plutocrat only to cover living charges and keep the balance in escrow until withdrawal( Fordham, & Leaf, 2008). The professional athlete and recreational party engages in sport through informal associations on an irregular or regular base. Though similar participation is frequently regular, the athlete doesn’t belong to an association and doesn’t contend in a way that would bring him her into direct contact with an institutionalized interpretation of his/ her sport of interest( Siedentop, 1994).

Over the times, women has played a significant part in sports as they’ve their own world of sport, and sporting conditioning either competitively or else. There are numerous ways in which women can be involved in sports, besides playing or guiding. With the largely institutionalized nature of sports moment, a variety of places live taking professionals in the interests of sports. Since the athlete can’t share in life’s sports, there’s a need to insure that there’s provision for her withdrawal( Parks,J. & Zanger,B. 2012). therefore, this paper highlights career options available to the sports girls, piecemeal from the traditional tutoring professional after scale. She’d thus be at liberty to draw on any of these options to earn a living. The avenues where she can accessibly use her recently acquired vocation are one of the major enterprises of this study. Hence, this study evaluates the career options available for Nigerian girls in the sporting sector.

Statement Of The Problem

There are colorful womanish sports actors, similar as amateurs,non-professionals and professionals and recreational sports actors in Nigeria. still, because athletes are unfit to perform in life due to physiological and physical limitations, there’s a need for her to have a way to earn a living in withdrawal so that she doesn’t return to the order of poor people in the country. likewise, due to the largely institutionalized nature of sports moment, a variety of job openings that bear professional moxie in the field of sports are beingcreated., endured womanish athletes in Nigeria have been set up idle after withdrawal as a result of ignorance of what other sport or aspect of sport they should use their moxie and experience( Fordham et.al. 2011). According to Siedentop,( 2004), there are a variety of careers available to womanish athletes, which include sports administration, sports drug, guiding, officiating, sports psychologists, sports sociology, sport journalism/ broadcasting, sports marketing and photography, and groundsmanship. Hence, this study is conducted towards relating the career options available to all womanish athletes in Nigeria.
