The sampling strategy was stratified random. Data were collected using standard strategic entrepreneurship, institutional environment and business performance questionnaires. After confirming the validity by the sport sciences experts, the reliability of the questionnaires was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The fitting indicators of the model were desirable, and in this regard, the results showed that strategic entrepreneurship and institutional environment affect the performance of sporting businesses and based on the path coefficient, strategic entrepreneurship had the most impact on the performance of business athletics, but the institutional environment had not any effect on Strategic entrepreneurship.
