BOSTON, MA, & MADRID, SPAIN—April 6, 2021—The sports consultancy Management Around Sports (M.A.S.) and the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) reached a strategic agreement for Jorge Rosales to be the IHRSA representative in Mexico. The main task will be to meet the needs of operators in Mexico and to work on actions that benefit the development of the industry in the country.
Both organizations have been collaborating together for 21 years in Spain, where they share international knowledge and information, carry out joint studies, and serve suppliers and operators in any service where an international vision or global networking is required.
Among the functions that Jorge Rosales will carry out in the position will be to be the link with IHRSA headquarters, attend to the needs of Mexican operators, carry out market studies that can help them present at the governmental and business level, as well as promote IHRSA in Spanish that will aim to offer information of interest to the entire Mexican community.
For Jorge Rosales, “This new appointment is a professional challenge to go back to my origins as a Mexican and work with the operators there. Mexico is a country in full growth that has been placed among the five main markets in terms of club openings, and we must be by its side in these moments where the industry is suffering a hit due to the long confinement and the little aid that has been immersed.”
“IHRSA recognizes that the economic situation worldwide is very challenging and we are committed to help the Mexican fitness industry during these difficult times by delivering tangible membership benefits,” said Jacqueline Antunes, IHRSA director for Latin America.
