The purpose of this study is to find answers about the academic formation of the first and second division hockey leaders, as well as other interesting data that we can collect, in order to have a more detailed analysis of the class. This issue is important so that we can understand the current state of the sport and with this, it's possible to elaborate by the competent authorities a planning that allows improvements at all levels and results in the evolution of hockey.
In order to answer the research questions, a semi-structured online questionnaire was developed through the Google Forms® platform, divided into five parts: interviewer data, training and experience, difficulties in the performance of the function, the objectives of the club and importance of academic training.
The collected data allowed us to verify that the sports directors of hockey, don't have the academic educations and do not have basic skills and knowledge for the correct performance of their function.
A number of difficulties have been found, mainly in financial terms, which in part limits the work of sports managers, who in the vast majority of cases are not professionals. Although these data are found, sports managers consider academic education as important for the performance of their job, but do not consider it important enough that it forces them to search for new skills.
