This video captures a heartwarming moment of sportsmanship that transcends the scoreboard. It’s not about who won the game; it’s about the mutual respect and camaraderie shared between two players from opposing teams as they congratulate each other at the final whistle. This display of character is a powerful reminder of the parallels between sports and our corporate lives. We all strive for success, aiming for the next promotion or role, playing the game with dedication and striving to win. Yet, when the game ends, it’s the celebration of each other’s efforts that truly matters. Let’s carry this spirit into every aspect of our lives, recognizing that while competition drives us, it’s the shared journey and mutual respect that forge lasting bonds. #UnityInCompetition #CorporateLessonsFromSports #RespectOverRivalry

Red Roses Grand Slam Triumph + How to Stop Red Cards Ruining Championship Games... The Red Roses were once again worthy W6N Grand Slam Champions today, but the contest was marred and the result became academic (although still thrilling) with the Red Card 2nd half dismissal of France's Khalfaoui. Unless close to the end, or already with large leads, teams reduced to 14 players (a c.7% disadvantage) can rarely win in rugby, and so one player's over-enthusiasm and over-commitment in the heat of the contest, is often additionally punished by victory being handed to the other side. Here is a suggested new solution to keep a proper contest between the teams alive in these circumstances, and that is that the penalized team can choose: i) either to permanently lose the offending player and go down to 14 players as now or ii) to lose the offending player, bring a new replacement on, thus restoring team numbers to 15, but also incur a penalty try for the offence. Might be worth a try?... https://lnkd.in/eFmvS8wY

This is INSANE! Still reeling from the incredible news that the B&I Lions are going to have a women’s side for the first time in history. How big is this in context?… Well, back in 2018 I launched, produced and presented what was, at the time (& maybe still is??), the only cross-social media channel dedicated solely to the women’s game in the world. Back then I had almost unlimited access to clubs, players and even the national team. We covered the Premier 15s (as it was known then, now it’s called PWR), the Women’s Six Nations Rugby and even the first ever Women’s Barbarian’s Squad to play in England. It’s fair to say that I felt like I was fighting an uphill battle at times with less than 100 people at some games and next-to-no interest from any media outlet to cover the sport more regularly. But I could sense something about it that was untapped - it was filled will some of the best players and coaches in the world and damn, the games were EXCITING! I grew the channel, attended a game a week (plus some training sessions if I could), got a sponsor for the YouTube channel and even wrote/reported on matches for the BBC website. I was in regular comms with a lot of media outlets and worked tirelessly to try to get it into the mainstream. But to no avail. It was clear that women’s rugby was low on the agenda. Then, with the channel/socials growing rapidly, my first child decided then was the time he was going to arrive in our lives and I had a decision to make - concentrate on my ft job to earn money for my son or continue to try to grow the channel and sport. I think we know what decision I made… It’s funny now that a lot of people I spoke to who weren’t interested/“couldn’t help” at the time are now making their own content or producing their own shows. But most importantly the sport has actually grown and grown to be regularly broadcast on TV, nations have introduced more pro contracts for the players…and now this landmark announcement. Throughout my time running the channel I made some incredible memories and met some of the most amazing athletes and people (some who I’d still consider to be friends to this day). In the grand scheme of things my contribution in promoting/growing the sport to what it is today was minute (& it still has a way to go to be “equal” to the men’s game, but it’s getting there) but I like to think I helped… 🙂 And one things for sure, I couldn’t think of any better role models I’d want my little girl to grow up to be like. (Receipts! Check out the comments to see some of my fave memories from my time in the game 👇)

Marcus Smith's brilliant drop goal against Ireland at the weekend got me reminiscing about Jonny Wilkinson's World Cup winning drop goal in 2003! I've heard Sir Clive Woodward talk a few times and read his book more than once and he tells a powerful story about the kick. In summary, he says it wasn't just talent and Jonny's steady nerves. He explains how one of their training mantras was practising ‘Thinking Clearly Under Pressure (TCUPS).’ They had brainstormed the matches and the things that might put them under pressure and worked out how they would handle them and practised them repeatedly. So Jonny had visualised taking a winning kick in the last minute and exactly what he would do to keep himself calm and capable in that situation. A great metaphor for business. Being a leader is tough. A never ending to-do list. Deadlines to meet. Customers to satisfy. Stakeholders to keep on board. The list goes on … 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬. So using the TCUPS principle. What pressures do you currently have? What are the challenges your team might face? And how will you handle them? You can't plan for everything, but you can plan for the most likely and the most critical!

Absolutely love this. Finally, a Women’s The British & Irish Lions team 🦁 I’ve spoken a great deal about the importance of female specific research within professional sport. Differences between male and female physiology may have profound implications for how we program training for athletes. And yet, there is such limited literature that has studied female athletes. Less than ~5% of exercise science literature in-fact, ~95% in males by contrast. In a very general sense - Without understanding the specifics of how a biological (or non-biological) machine reacts/ adapts to certain inputs, how can we truly optimize outcomes? A petrol vs diesel car for example will have very different needs to run efficiently, so why would we apply the science of a petrol engine to a diesel engine? This is what we have traditionally done with male and female athletes Seeing the formation of The British & Irish Lions women’s team is a huge step forward, bringing untold value to the sport and undoubtedly more research opportunities with female athletes moving forward.
