User talk:Chris Todd/Elite Volleyball in Australia

National business model
Chris, I think you have a very good assignment here. The key for me is how volleyball positions itself within a national sporting system and develops a viable business model. There are some hard questions to ask about the sustainability of volleyball in a global sport system. Postillion 10:47, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Local, regional, State, National and International
Great to see a unique topic chosen here Chris. And you're right, not enough people in Australia appreciate this incredibly good fun and accessible sport.

If you can squeeze it in, some mention of how volleyball is conducted on a local/regional/state scale. You have the national to the international covered well, and you're focusing on the political processes for that, but try and find a space for the business of it (as Keith suggests above), and talk to it from the local to the international. We're looking for how business and politics intersect around volleyball, from a local to international scale. Leighblackall 09:48, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
