Weak Strategic Planning and Its Impact on the Performance of Sports Institutions

Abstract: This paper examines the issue of weak strategic planning and its impact on the performance of sports institutions. Strategic planning is a fundamental management tool that helps institutions define their goals, allocate resources effectively, and achieve sustainable development. However, many sports institutions suffer from unclear vision, short-term decision-making, and weak performance evaluation systems. This study analyzes how the absence or weakness of strategic planning negatively affects financial stability, athlete development, competition results, and organizational performance. Using a descriptive analytical approach based on previous studies and institutional reports, the research identifies the main causes of weak planning and its consequences. The findings indicate that institutions lacking clear strategic plans often experience unstable performance, financial inefficiency, low employee motivation, and limited long-term success. The study concludes with practical recommendations to strengthen strategic planning processes in sports institutions. Keywords: Strategic Planning, Sports Institutions, Organizational Performance, Management Efficiency, Institutional Development.
