Although lately even the casual sport consumer has completed questionnaires at games,in clubs , or in malls , much of the research is myopic , lacking any “sportsense” For instance , as we discuss in chapter 5 , the sport venue requires special consideration of sampling. Simply handing out surveys at the front door will not do the trick. Further , questions on sport “participation” require much more clarity than one normally sees in an average survey. Does playing one round of golf per year-with someone else’s clubs-make a person a golfer? Some surveys have suggested this sort of thing. More then a decade after the first edition of this book , the field as a whole still lacks well-designed research that includes both quantitative and qualitative methods (e.g., in-depth interviews ) . Quick , sloppy surveys will not suffice.
