Champions

(2 Credits)

This is a course at the intersection of leadership and sports. It draws on the experiences of successful sports industry business leaders, star athletes, and coaches through conversations with Jonathan Tisch, co-owner of the NY Giants of the NFL and other prominent moderators. Champions will cover topics ranging from the importance of team chemistry, the link between winning on the field and success in the executive suite. The course will address questions such as: are athletes the labor or the “product”? Is there a “secret sauce” that winning athletes and organizations embrace? Is it possible to sustain winning by creating an organizational culture? This course is part of the NYU Big Ideas series and will be offered in Fall 2020 only.
