Today was the most information-dense day we've had on the trip. We had the opportunity to speak with three different organizations across five different meetings. Our day started by meeting with World Aquatics, the federation in charge of a variety of aquatic sports. They helped provide us a lot of context about the European mentality of sport and how it differs from the United States, in terms of the importance of entertainment versus the purity of the sport. Their insight was very unique, and helped shift my perspective on what is important for federations and sport organizations to focus on.
We then headed to the Court of Arbitration of Sport, learning about how they make critical decisions that impact the landscape of the sport world. I'd heard of CAS before, but I loved learning about their decision making process for different types of cases. The legal side of sports isn't something I know much about, so understanding how it operates and how these decisions are made was super cool for me.
