Technical structure of football is a resemblance of the culture where its played. The dutch applied total football; using all the space around the water to live. The brazilians play to dance like their samba. The germans are the highest in physical work rate, manchaft. The french are believers in individual god given talent by applying a system to magnify their stregnth. If you compare johan , claire , jean marc you’ll understand why they succeeded and WHERE ! Study the culture, how people live , the audience attraction in the game and create a technical structure to entertain. Then capitalize on that in a business context with a solid foundation that can recurr.

An interesting report today published by British Future and Spirit of 2012 on the role football can play in creating social cohesion in diverse communities, through a common love of football. Do you have any examples you can share of sports doing precisely that? Can sport be a leader in building cohesion and cultural competence in local communities ?

World Basketball Day is in 9 days! Check out Dr. Lindsay Sarah Krasnoff’s insightful analysis of the first-ever sports-related UN International Day. Since the first game was played on December 21, 1891, basketball has always been more than a sport—it’s a soft power tool: “It was a way to help rebuild bodies fractured by conflict, strengthen the next generation, and impart or reinforce traits deemed desirable by many democratic societies including teamwork, playing by the rules, fair play, and meritocracy.” From the Olympics to international leagues, discover how the shared love for the game transcends borders, fostering diplomacy between nations. https://ow.ly/lZlS50QhWSN

Around this time of year our #SportBroadcast post-grad students, from the outgoing cohort, start releasing their final project documentaries to the public. We ask them to make a 15minute sports documentary for their dissertation, and once they’ve handed in their films & had them marked, we encourage them to post their films on you tube, to put themselves & their work out there. The documentary they produce is hopefully (if they’ve been concentrating!) a culmination of all their skills learnt on the course; filming, gathering & organising content, video editing, storyboarding, storytelling, researching, fixing contributors, interviewing, sourcing archive, choosing locations, lighting, creating graphics, writing scripts, editing sound & working to a duration & a deadline. Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing student work on here. Please take a look if you’ve time, and, if you like the films, let the students know, give them feedback; positive, negative, constructive. They need it. Be gentle, this is the first piece of long form content they have ever created. They are at the start of their careers, they are looking for work. Talking of work, my work is done, they are all yours now!

There are a number of references to traditional, ancient, or prehistoric ball games played in many different parts of the world.[2][3][4] Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools during the 19th century, itself an outgrowth of medieval football.[5][6] The expansion and cultural power of the British Empire allowed these rules of football to spread to areas of British influence outside the directly controlled Empire.[7] By the end of the 19th century, distinct regional codes were already developing: Gaelic football, for example, deliberately incorporated the rules of local traditional football games in order to maintain their heritage.[8] In 1888, the Football League was founded in England, becoming the first of many professional football associations. During the 20th century, several of the various kinds of football grew to become some of the most popular team sports in the world. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

CONFLICT ASSESSMENT: THE POWERFUL IN WORLD CONFLICTS https://lnkd.in/grTfknXs As stakeholders in world conflicts, the influential (#celebrities) have consistently failed to use their power to prevent world conflicts and civil wars. Mbappe in France and Colin Rand Kaepernick in the USA have made stands because they are minorities and have a sense of right and wrong. That is very rare in the building of global conflicts. Right now, most celebrities are more interested in finding shelter than in preventing a full-blown national and international conflict. However, the absence of celebrities in the USA standing for what is right is appalling. Entitlement in the upper classes, Media flooding in the middle class and destructive lifestyles in the lower classes seem to suck the air out of everything. This is the fertile ground for national and world conflicts. Mbappe said: "It is an urgent juncture. We cannot let our country fall into the hands of these people. It is pressing — we saw the results, it is catastrophic.” Minority celebrities in the US will pay later. Middle-class minorities started to feel it when they, like Einstein, could not hold a job because of his background.

Great to see this research. Sport really can be a leader in society to help build cultural competence, social cohesion through our common love for sport. Although this uses the example of football, it can apply in other settings. I have the privilege of being involved at Edinburgh South Cricket Club, where the club's membership includes 17 different nationalities, with a diverse range of ethnicities, religions, cultural identities and beliefs - but one common thing unites us, a shared love of cricket. Cricket is a game that requires people to spend vast amounts of time together on the field, working through situations together as a team to achieve a result. Through simply being around many others with different cultural experiences and identities, I've learnt so much. Most importantly, we've embraced the multiple cultural identities and beliefs as our strength, finding space to learn about and support each other. Less 'integration into a culture' and more 'evolution of our culture together'. Sport really can be a leader in society for bringing people together. Do you have a great example from your own club or sport? Feel free to share on our Equity Coach page!

As a former professional cricketer, I can relate to how playing a sport (team or individual) can help excel in the business world. Great lessons shared in this article.
