This guide is geared to undergraduate and graduate students and their internship supervisors. Part I, on pedagogical issues in sport management internships, gives insight on choosing and preparing for the internship from the student's perspective. There is also material for educators on designing the internship, the importance of supervision, evaluation and assessment, and issues in international internships. Part II, on safety and risk management considerations, looks at paid versus unpaid internships, insurance issues and risk agreements, students with disabilities, and sexual harassment. Chapter discussion questions are included. About 20 pages of appendices list sport management programs in the US, and provide web links to organizations, sample cover letters and internship proposals, and sample agreements and evaluation forms. Seidler coordinates the graduate program in sport administration at the University of New Mexico. Miller teaches sport management at Texas Tech University.
