These are:

The sports professional initiates these projects and implements these exercise programmes, and in doing so is able to implement, coordinate or supervise at the strategic and tactical levels, depending on what the situation requires.

4. Leadership, management and organisation
Within a given context, the sports professional independently manages and organises proper business operations and the proper performance of duties, and shows an enterprising attitude while doing so.
