布莱恩 说: Business ideas 2006 (Need Helps)
Comparing within the Asia Pacific regions, there isn't any established sports advisory business that goes around coaching athletes or even residents to correctly do the sports nor even making them to excel in them. Certain sports such as golfing, rugby and cycling are some of the sports that are well-participated around the world, but apparently the european and the americans often dominate these sports, while asians lacks behind. The difference is they have, pretty often employ the help of external sports advisory companies, rather than just depending only on national team coaches like asians do. To state an senario: "Isn't is wonderful to have a full-asian team participating in TDF?"

While scrolling through an professional sports coaching company (CARMICHAEL), based in the States. The idea suddenly stuck me with operating one such company here in Singapore, the regional hub. So now besides having the IR to boast tourism, and the investment in diverse arts and performance that bring this small country further up the world map, isn't it good to start people realizing the possibilities to make this country a professional sports center in promoting sports. If talks about experience in running such business, one can consider a joint-venture with the more experienced ones or even a franchise. Training grounds can spread over some of the asia-pacific countries and trainers could be employed from all over the world.
.
Now is there such a demand? Compare to the Americans, asia countries often prefer carefully hand-picking the sports that they think their people will perform well in, and forgo the rest. And these other sports talents went down the drain without realising their dreams.Bringing such concept of bringing the asian appearances in such sports (eg. cycling) and make them perform (well) will definately be a big business.
.
This is the preliminary concept of my business idea, and of cos that more serious planning and evaluation is required. By posting online, i hope some people out there will be also seriously consider such idea of mine and maybe we can work things out?

Hi Brian, i went to see this article of yrs after i studied till v. sian.. Sorry to "pour u cold water", but i tink its not that feasible to open a Professional Sports Centre in S'pore. Reasons being: S'poreans are bz earning $$.. wher got time to go to these centres to train for competitions?? ALso, training are tough, do u think they will go for these trainings for long? S'pore had their own teams to take part in these competitons, so there isnt a need for the rest to train up in these Professional Centres.
Think you rename as Recreational Sports Centre will be better. Mission is to produce a place and environment to promote healthy lifestyle amid bz schedules. Ppl go there to enjoy the sports and interaction with fellow sports enthusiastics.
But... Isnt it similar to courses held by CCs and those fitness gym and YOga centres?? You also need a very large space with all the necessaty facilities within a compound and this comes with large capital and human expertise..
Well... this is a dream.. Its good to have dreams in life.. If this dream becomes your passion, make plans for it and go for it!!

The initial targetted market is span over the entire Asia Pacific region, as Singapore as its core business operating site. If you have visited the link attached, you might learn more about the business approach. Its not a gym nor any typical community centers' organzied fitness programs or not a recreational center. Its more targetted for actual sports enthus., including those in the National teams... But of cos these business idea is more established in US and Europe. And require tons of capitals, professional operators and supports from sports players. Thats why I reccon a joint-business with more experienced operators is better...
Got time read the link attached.
