Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study the impact of strategic entrepreneurship on achieving competitive advantage in sports boards of Khuzestan province. The research method is analytical. The population consisted of president and vice president of the board, executive committee, and elite athletes (n = 80). This research was carried out between 2015 and 2016. The analytical sample was for the total number. For discussing the validity and reliability and presenting a structural model, PLS algorithm is used. The results showed a competitive advantage, but it was positively affected by indirect effects such as 0.06 percent entrepreneurial culture, and 0.01 entrepreneurial leadership through strategic mediator's office. This is while changing competitive advantage does not have a positive effect on entrepreneurial mindset mediation. As a result, due to the lack of a direct impact on the competitive advantage of strategic entrepreneurship and its direct impact through strategic office sources it could be said that the entrepreneurial dimension itself does not create a competitive advantage, but sport boards could benefit through entrepreneurial leadership and creating an entrepreneurial culture when creativity and innovation has become the strategic resources.
