Please email Peter if you would like to conduct joint research and publish on any Olympic sport, as did many Peter's colleagues and students, for example - Mark Carney. Mark became a leading author of the paper accepted for presentation at the North American Society for Sport Management (NASSM) 2010 Conference under a title ‘Comparing Practices of USA Rugby Against a Global Model for Integrated Development of Mass and High Performance Sport’. Mark had evaluated the system of US rugby through a survey and interviews with coaches and administrators, against the model he learned in Peter's classes. Following the NASSM presentation, Mark remained the leading co-author of an article which was published in 2012 in a special edition, “Managing Excellence in Sport”, of the Managing Leisure, International Journal. Following this research, Mark was accepted for his internship with USA Rugby at their headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, where he was part of a team who developed a multi-million dollar plan, to bring rugby back to the Olympics. Mark helped present the project to the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), who in turn, recognized USA Rugby as an official National Governing Body under the USOC. Mark then completed his MBA in Sport Management at Florida Atlantic University, where he gained valuable work experience in professional sports when he worked for the Florida Panthers and Miami Dolphins as well as the Atlantic Coast Conference and served as Collegiate Director for USA Rugby South. Mark is now serving as the Executive Director for the Northern California Youth Rugby Association, the largest State based youth rugby organization in the country with over 5,200 members.

After publishing the US rugby, soccer, tennis, volleyball, golf, ice hockey and swimming analyses completed by students, Sport Development and Management Program at Salem State is studying and advancing wrestling, basketball, track and field, skiing and snowboarding and other sports in the US and across the world, from Dutch swimming and Russian karate and pentathlon to Chinese and Nigerian football.
