The Russian sports industry today shows absolutely different successful examples of entrepreneurship development applicable to industry segments, meaning professional and mass sports, as well as the sports and wellness industry. The analysis of successful business practices in the sports industry makes it possible to determine the main trajectories of possible educational programs.

Each development trajectory is associated with specific product manufacturers and their consumers. The main products of the sports industry are sports events and sports and wellness services. Manufacturers include professional leagues and clubs, organizers of sports events, fitness clubs.
