Sport development as an entity is very self conflicting as its core strategy’s are both to promote ‘sport for all’ and produce medals on a national stage. As such a lot of tension exists between the two as to which deserves more time and money. Having analyzed not only sporting development models but looked at the governing bodies proposals and schemes that are in place I would be more inclined to say that mass participation deserves more funding.
