The data were gathered during the summer of 2018. The sample contains 75 unique job advertisements and was analyzed by the use of content analysis.
The results of this study indicate that communication skills, the ability to work independently, responsibility, organizational skills, planning skills and coordination skills, Microsoft Office competency, English language, thoroughness, precision, and reliability are among the key competencies of sport managers in the Czech Republic. This study confirmed that most key competencies remain the same as presented by Janak1.
