Dr Joshua McLeod is an active reviewer for Managing Sport and Leisure. Managing Sport and Leisure is a refereed journal that publishes high quality research articles to inform and stimulate discussions relevant to sport and leisure management globally. The journal is committed to publishing research that advances understanding of the practice of sport and leisure management in the public, voluntary and commercial sectors, internationally. It will appeal to anyone with a serious interest in contemporary sport and leisure management issues, including academics, managers, consultants, politicians and students. One of the key objectives of the journal is to provide a high level forum for communication between academics and practitioners of sport and leisure. Therefore Managing Sport and Leisure aims to be contemporary, integrated and, most importantly, relevant to practitioner training. Contributions are welcome and expected from both academics and practitioners throughout the international sport and leisure management community. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions from those investigating new and innovative areas of research and practice in sport and leisure management. In order to foster debate and extend the scope of discussion, MSL publishes shorter carefully argued position statements on specific topics and / or research methods through the Commentary option for publication. The intention of this feature is to provide a space that gives scholars, researchers and practitioners the latitude to investigate a contemporary issue in some depth with a view to stimulate debate, interest and research into the issue under investigation. Commentary submissions should be 1,000 words all-in. We also seek to provide opportunities for contributors to make primary research findings or shorter research studies available through the Short Communication option. Short Communication submissions should be 3,000 words all-in. Both of these submission options are to provide opportunities for comment and analysis of a contemporary issue that the authors believe is of value and ready for public consumption. Peer Review Statement: Peer review is ‘double anonymized’. Two reviews are sought, with reviewers providing commentary / feedback to the author(s); together with information confidential to the Editor and Editorial Administrator (and where required the Associate Editor), consisting of an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the submission. Reviewers will offer a recommendation in terms of the decision for publication, revision and re submission, or rejection. The decision to publish, make amendments or reject is based on the recommendations of the reviewers with the Editor adjudicating if a consensus has not been reached.

Winners: Dr. Joshua McLeod, Dr. Hunter Fujak & A/Prof. Jonathan Robertson (Deakin University): “Three Decades of Strategic Planning in Australian National Sport Organisations: Where Did We Start and Where are We Now" This paper tracks how the strategic priorities of Australia’s national sport organisations have shifted over the past 25 years, analysing 282 strategic plans from 83 NSOs. The study shows a move away from performance-dominated agendas toward greater emphasis on inclusion, governance, and commercial growth, reflecting rising institutional complexity. The findings offer both a new method for mapping strategic change and practical benchmarks for sport leaders and policymakers.
