Methodology
“You learn to ride a bicycle by riding a bicycle. The laws of physics tells us that a
bicycle can't fall if we keep on moving.
We will only know how to ride it when we've ridden it.
We'll probably fall, but that's part of the process”.
The learning spirit in sports is the same as in riding a bicycle: perseverance, learning by doing, learning from our peers. That's our educational model.
We've developed a practical model, centered in the knowledge and skills required by the sports industry and aimed to employability and entrepreneurship:
- Case studies, with practical examples taken from the industry.
- 100% of the faculty has experience in the sports world.
- Mentoring. Our pupils must be at the core of everything. Every student in our master's degree is included in our personal career development programme, where, through many personal and group coaching sessions, we will help them define their goal in the sports industry, allowing them to discover their strengths and areas of improvement. While they remain in ESBS we'll also usher them to the improvement of their skills and knowledges, enhancing their employability and focusing whether on active job-searching or on the development of a personal entrepreneurial project, or even an intra-entrepreneurial project within a company or organization.
- Technology: Both our physical classrooms and our virtual classroom have been designed to stimulate creativity and enable the optimal academic development of our students. Class sessions are recorded and made available to students for analysis and studying. We work in the Cloud, allowing learning from anywhere, anytime.
- Flexibility. In most of our training programmes there are on-site, online and mixed options.
- Technology and innovation. Virtual classrooms, recorded classes, long-distance group works with foreign students. Mixed and online options. An improvement committee.
- Sports for growth. We see sports as a tool for social transformation.
- A global vision of the world. International case studies, more than 50% of our students come from abroad.
- Sustainability Cross-sectional approach.
- People at the core. Everything is built around our students. Mentoring, networking and faculty.
- Promotion of entrepreneurship and employability.
Our challenge is to transform passion for sports into a profession.
The sports industry is growing by the day and we need to adapt to the speed in which changes happen. Each day it's more and more important to know how to manage in an area with a high level of media exposure.
During the last ten years we've adapted and improved our method, so as both sportspeople, sport directors and managers are able to access quality training with enough flexibility to balance their careers and their personal growth.
Our mixed methodology combines online learning –through our virtual campus and the monitoring of our tutors– with the possibility of attending on-site sessions at some point of the schoolyear. This method offers our students the flexibility they need to balance their professional lives and the quality training they need with their commutes and lack of time.

Social responsibility
In ESBS we are deeply committed to our core values, goals and the social dimension of our labor, and so we've developed a social responsibility programme, were we strive for sustainability and encourage ethical and responsible practices.
Our programmes revolve around five main axes:
We believe in an ethical and socially conscious way of management.
Our goal is to train people to direct and manage companies and organizations in a global market while remaining committed to society and sustainability.
- In the classroom
Each of our post-grad programmes has a social responsibility line.
A specialized professional will give the guidelines to our teachers, students and cooperating companies, so that a social, ethical and sustainable approach will be used for their projects during the whole training.
- Social responsibility training for managers and coaches:
We've designed post-grad and ongoing training programmes that revolve specifically around efficient management and sustainable development.
Our goal while creating our training programmes for coaches is to always maintain our ethical and sustainable approach. The students will be able to understand the social implications of their training in a respectful and socially diverse environment.
We offer programmes centered around teaching sports to people with intellectual disabilities. We also promote training activities in different sports for intellectually disabled people, fostering inclusion and leisure, according to the tried and tested methodology of our educational partner, the Spanish Sports Federation for Disabled People (FEDDI)..
We believe that education can break down any barrier, and that's why we bestow scholarships onto many different groups.
All our post-grad, master's and ongoing formation programmes students are eligible for a scholarship, according that they meet certain requirements. Our goal is to make training available to people who normally wouldn't be able to get it.
We ourselves were born of entrepreneurial spirit and thus every year we offer our support to new sport projects and companies. Our academic community receives training, economic support via crowdfunding and pro bono consultancy for the creation of their projects.
Over 40% of our students come from developing countries, which encourages us to adapt our programmes to their resources and needs.
We're committed to affordable training, and so we use technology to allow people from all over the world to access our courses, anywhere, anytime, with only a basic internet connection.
Furthermore, through our free MOOOC programmes, we offer basic training in different areas. This programmes are still growing and we intend to forge more alliances with local organizations and institutions, offering contents translated to English and Chinese and exchange programmes.
We believe investigation is the axis of knowledge, innovation and creation.
Currently we conduct two expanding investigation lines. Our goal is to create socially responsible knowledge through our alliances with different universities and investigation centres.
ESBS was born as an innovative company with a strong belief in sport values and the educational uses of technology, always with a socially conscious approach and centered in reducing the waste produced by educational activities.
We've always shown environmental responsibility through acts and programmes.
All our programmes, especially those related to management, have a sustainability section that strives to educate about the importance of respecting the environment and natural resources.
We also offer specific post-grad and ongoing training programmes of environmental sustainability, sustainable sports managing, efficient managing of sport events and facilities, carbon footprints and more.
Our professionals have counseled many institutions, including Valencia CF and the Fundación, in a wide arrange of matters.
- Developing the first sustainability plan for a professional football club in Spain.
- Assessment of their carbon footprint.
- Implementation, enforcement and revision of the ISO 14.001 in Environmental Management.
- Development of efficient, sustainable and environmentally sensitive events and training actions.
We encourage the social responsibility of our company, and our goal is to educate our cooperating companies, faculty and students in our ethical management commitment, so as to be able to develop responsible, socially conscious and sustainable projects.
