Education has a strategic importance for the socio-economic development of every well-organized society. In such society, education serves as the foundation for advancement and measure of progress. In order to adequately meet the demand for skills in modern educational institutions – including those operating in the field of sports, it is necessary to use the concept of active management - which allows focusing on the goals of program planning, flexible organization of work, good governance, monitoring and evaluation of achieved results and others. The planning of the development of the education system is becoming a growing issue, since it is increasingly difficult to reliably predict the future generators of demand for knowledge, define goals and numerous limitations. At a time of significant social changes, it is necessary to have a long-term perspective, so the educational system focus can be oriented towards values that satisfy the new needs of people and society. Taking into account the fact that modern sport represents a unique bio-psycho-social phenomenon, which involves a very large number of factors and processes, successful engagement in any sport, especially top-level, or performing a certain function in the field of sports, requires a comprehensive education and multidisciplinary approach, in the fields such as medicine, psychology, sociology, pedagogy, law, etc. Raising the level of knowledge of athletes and sports professionals implies continuous acquisition of knowledge and skills, aimed towards informing and familiarizing students with current sports practice.
