A former professional soccer player, long-term community sports administrator and a
pioneer in developing sport management academic programs, Associate Professor Terry Woods
brings to his lectures an in-depth knowledge of sports management and practice at every
level. 

He was the first Australian to be awarded a US National Football League Scholarship to
study at Ohio University where he completed his Masters of Sports Management, returning
home to develop this new academic discipline as lecturer and ultimately Head of Southern
Cross University's School of Exercise and Sport Management. 

Through a long and distinguished career, Terry Woods literally 'wrote the book'
on sports management education, developing a number of courses and modules for tertiary
level studies, including Australia's first Bachelor of Sport Tourism Management
program. 

He has consulted to numerous government and community-based sporting organisations,
including the NSW Department of Sport, Recreation and Racing, NSW AustSwim and the North
Coast Academy of Sport and, in 1995 as a founding board member of the Sports Management
Association of Australia and New Zealand (SMAANZ) which has since come to be regarded as
the leading global sport management association. 

In 2000, Terry Woods was honoured with an Australian Sports Medal in recognition of his
contribution to the development of sport.
