How we are enabling our technology to boost our sports partnerships

I just came across this little throwback to the GK #sportsday last year... I think this video serves as a gentle reminder of the following: 1) It's great to throw some team building outdoor activities into the working day, every now and then! 🙌 2) Lawyers can get very competitive (as evidenced by the firm's engagement in #IronManMonth this month!) 🥇 3) Some stretches before a 100m sprint against some of the more competitive members of the firm (Dan Tate) wouldn't go amiss... 🙋♂️ 4) Us lawyers at GK won't take unnecessary risks with your case, but that won't stop me risking an unnecessary backwards jog when our team has a slight lead in the Sports Day Relay race, making a complete 🫏 of myself in the process 🤷♂️ - karma is definitely a thing... Maybe we'll get another GK sports day booked in for Summer 2024? Plenty of time for us (🙋♂️) to think up more ways in which we can embarrass ourselves before then! #pinkteam

In the world of sports, rivalries are not uncommon. From heated on-field confrontations to long-standing disagreements, it's easy to get caught up in the drama. But amidst the competition, there's something truly remarkable that often goes unnoticed – the power of sports to unite. On the field, we often witness clashes, differences of opinion, and heated moments among players during their games. But what truly captivates us are the extraordinary moments when these individuals come together, extending handshakes and sharing smiles. Now, some may argue that these gestures are merely for the media and public to speak out positively. But I beg to differ. It takes real courage to set aside differences, step onto the field, and genuinely connect with those you once clashed with. It takes courage to put on a smile and to extend a hand of friendship.

**Was This Disrespectful? Let's Discuss #Sportsmanship 🤔** In the competitive spirit of sports, every gesture and act is under scrutiny. We've seen it time and again—what one person views as a harmless celebration, another may see as a blatant show of disrespect. 🔑 **Key Takeaways:** 1. **Understand the Context**: Gestures in sports can be misunderstood. What's celebratory to some may appear disrespectful to others. 2. **Emotional Impact Matters**: Sports aren't just physical contests; they are emotional ones. Acts perceived as disrespectful can stir up strong feelings, potentially affecting the spirit of the game. 3. **Celebrations Are Contextual**: While celebrating achievements is natural, understanding and respect for opponents' feelings are equally important.

The sports industry though flourishing is somewhat handicapped and relies primarily on three crutches - sponsors from other industries, CSR , Central and State government for it's funding. These are major sources of revenue for the industry which are external to the industry. The industry's ability to generate revenues independently and reinvest back into itself is hardly 10-15%. This needs to undergo a significant change through innovative solutions that can increase organic revenue generation for the industry. #sportsbiz #sports #sportsindustry #indiasportsindustry
