STRATEGY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF KARATE SPORTS IN REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA

Nazim Kurtovic

Abstract

In this text, we present a strategy for the systematization of the Karate Federation of Republic of North Macedonia (KFM) that created conditions for the continuous achievement of the highest sports goals. The imposed tempo with a strong focus on all factors in KFM towards achieving success resulted in the realization of a strong social authority. Such position put karate on the list of one of the sports in the country with most trophies won and entered the narrowest circle of the most successfully organized sports institutions. In order to achieve that in KFM, it was necessary to set sustained general and specific objectives and relationships that will regulate this activity while determining the strategy of its development. By that strategy, we meant a target-oriented, dynamically organized set of interventions and actions that included tasks, deadlines and their implementation method. Seen from this temporal distance, with all its good and bad sides, the established strategy led to an organizational and result renaissance that will generally be remembered as a golden era in the history of sports in North Macedonia.
