Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Estimated project duration: 1 - 2 weeks
Industry: Sports and Fitness
Topic: Sporting heroes of the past
Tone: Neutral
Outline & Structure: The project: research, identify and shortlist 40 very interesting sports people who have been responsible for a memorable event or development in sporting history in the following sports
Golf
Polo
Tennis
Car racing
Road cycling
To clarify: This is not to identify current top sports personalities. We are looking for historic ones. So the sports person is most likely already retired or no longer performing at the top level of the sport, even if they may still be interested or otherwise involved.
Preferably the event was a turning point in the sports history or was part of the main establishment of the sport as it is today and the person was influential or key in this scenario. This could include winning the first great tournament with a major shift in the game’s progress (coming from behind and winning a major event for instance) or overcoming special circumstances like a war or equipment malfunction whilst winning or just generally doing things differently from others and setting the new norm or standard.
It has to be something that is memorable. Or maybe I should say, something that might be worth celebrating or commemorating.
Preferably the people identified are still alive today, which should be verified in the research. You would obviously be researching more than 40 initially to get to a list of 40 that have been looked at in more detail.
This would suit a person who is a good but fast researcher, loves reading about sport and is tenacious in their approach to get the best result.
Might suit a student with a keen interest in sports / history or celebrity.
I need a well structured easy to read word or excel document with for each:
Name and full name of the person
Which sport?
Details of the event or location that made you list them?
What happened that was memorable?
What date was this?
How many years since that date?
What happened to them after that?
Have they had any awards following memorable event?
Where are they now?
Any details you found that indicate a contact method.
Due to our UK location would prefer to have at least 50% of the sporting personalities or event locations to be British.
GOAL: we want to use your report to decide who our audiences in each of these sports may most want to see a commemoration of.
If you are into writing then a good quality delivery of this project might lead to further projects.
Extensive research needed: yes
