Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to explain what predictions are made about how the future should be strategically shaped in order to be successful in sports and how the foresight processes work.

Course Content

The human desire to know the future is nothing new. Even thousands of years ago, leaders' minds were preoccupied with concerns about the future of their tribe or state, and naturally their own reign. These leaders wanted to know how the external factors that could not be controlled by them would develop, as well as the internal factors that would determine the future. When we look at the chronological history of sports, it is seen that the leaders who strive for development constantly make predictions to glorify the honor of their country and to guarantee its future.
