Survey on required skills and educational needs to become an effective Player Development Manager

This questionnaire is delivered in the context of the GOAL4PDM (Gamified and Online Activities for Learning to Support Player Development Managers) Erasmus+ Sport European Project.
The main objective of GOAL4PDM project is the up-skilling and re-skilling of various target groups (i.e., coaches in sport academies, students of Physical Education and Sport departments, physical education teachers, former athletes) to become Player Development Managers (PDM) specialised to support the Dual Career of Athletes.
