Informe de opción de grado pasantias en el club la tricolor

Abstract

Based on the knowledge acquired during the two semesters of the Specialization in Sports Administration, offered by Universidad Santo Tomás, Bucaramanga campus, and with the support of its academic and administrative staff, a comprehensive training process was carried out, grounded in rigorous academic study and the disciplinary contributions of the professors responsible for each course, according to their respective areas of expertise. Throughout this period, knowledge was consolidated on the basis of theoretical and scientific foundations related to organization, strategic planning, resource management, human talent management, and other essential components of sports administration. This academic preparation enabled the proper execution of the internship at the football club “La Tricolor,” a sports training center that currently has more than 300 athletes in formative development, oriented toward professional football. The club is structured into 23 age-based categories ranging from 7 to 17 years old, organized by year of birth, from the 2018 category to the 2009 category. Each category is subdivided into three levels—orange, blue, and white—allowing athletes to be classified not only by age but also by their level of football performance. The orange categories compete in the Bogotá League and in national-level tournaments, while the blue and white categories compete, according to their performance level, in municipal and district tournaments. In this context, the internship aims to integrate the theoretical knowledge acquired during the specialization with professional practice, contributing to the fulfillment of the club’s mission through the execution of specific tasks designed to facilitate and strengthen the administrative processes developed across all areas of the organization.
