Sport Administration?

I am currently completing the first year of my Master's degree in Human Kinetics - Sports Administration. Although my first degree was in Systems Design Engineering, I feel that my calling maybe more sport related.

During the first class of each our courses, we would go around and introduce ourselves. Whenever it was my turn, I was always given a few funny looks when I said that my first degree was in Engineering instead of the usual: Physical Education, Kinesiology or Human Kinetics. But with my volunteer activities, I have been able to live through the sport administration experience.

During this first year, we have studied a wide variety of topics with respect to sport administration and the Canadian Sport System. There are some topics that I was more drawn to than others, but I am still not 100% sure whether or not sport administration is really where I want to go.

I am hoping to use this forum as a sounding board for interesting topics that intrigue me, so that I can find a focus. I am still considering pursuing a PhD after I finish my Master's, but I would have to find an area of focus.

Currently my interests lie in:
- Local Sport Organizations (ex/ OCUA - the Ottawa-Carleton Ultimate Association)
- Event Management
- the Olympics
- Delivery of Recreation and Leisure programs
- Sport Volunteerism
- Canadian student-athletes
- Ultimate frisbee
