Methods: qualitative methods were used in this study - analysis of texts, documents, websites, social networks, press releases or statements of clubs and stakeholders.

Pichlová, Kristýna ; Voráček, Josef (advisor) ; Opelík, Daniel (referee)
Title: Brand archetypes of TOP czech athletes Objectives: The aim of this work is to determine the brand archetypes of the TOP 10 czech athletes. Methods: The bachelor thesis uses a combination of quantitative research with elements of qualitative methods. Electronic questioning was chosen as the most appropriate way to obtain the necessary information from Generation Y. The questionnaire survey involves first demographic data and then projective techniques - the respondent assigns colours to each athlete's brand based on the emotions the athlete evokes. Subsequently, brand archetypes are assigned to each athlete's brand based on the psychology of color and the limbic model. Results: Determining athlete brand archetypes using projective techniques based on color psychology is feasible. However, it has been found that in order to determine brand archetypes, it is necessary that the research population knows the athlete in question. For the athletes that the research set did not know, it was not possible to determine the archetype - for Vít Přindiš and Jakub Vadlejch. For Jakub Vadlejch, however, it was possible to determine at least the dimensions in which the archetype of the athlete could be located. Ester Ledecká was assigned the archetype of the Innocent. To Barbora Špotáková the archetype of...

Title: Factors influencing the management of a selected floorball club Objectives: The main aim of the thesis is to reveal the key factors that influence the management of the floorball club TJ Znojmo LAUFEN CZ by means of internal and external analysis. Methods: The research included internal environment analysis, PEST analysis, Porter's 5 forces model and SWOT analysis. Data from document analysis and interviews were used to compile the analyses. The results from these analyses were summarized and evaluated in a SWOT analysis, which resulted in a strategy that was used to set a set of objectives. Results: The most important factors that showed up in the analysis were the club's good relations with sponsors, the option to use the city's sports hall, the departure of players and the lack of training facilities. The most likely and most promising opportunities include the possibility of obtaining subsidies for a new hall through increased funding from the city or sponsors that would enable the club to meet the requirements for using the NSA grant program. What threatens the club is an increase in substitutes and competition. So far, however, this does not affect the club and so is not one of the issues on which, the club management should somehow change their long term planning. Keywords: strategic...
