The aim of this study is to assess the status of strategic thinking among directors of private sport clubs in Shiraz city based on Goldman model. The methodology used here is descriptive-analytic and data are collected through literature studies and survey. The target population of the study included all private sport clubs offering more than three types of sports (90 clubs) and the sampling method was census. We used a standard strategic thinking questionnaire, which was based on Goldman's model (2005). After confirming the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, it was distributed among the study population (p≤0.05). After collecting the data, descriptive and inferential statistics including single-sample t-test and Friedman test, were used to analyze the data.
