Your journey and dedication to the sport have been nothing short of inspiring. While the outcome at the Olympics wasn’t what you had hoped for, it in no way diminishes the incredible athlete you are. Your resilience, strength, and determination continue to motivate countless individuals around the world.#InspiringJourney#DedicationToSport#OlympicSpirit #ResilientAthlete#StrengthAndDetermination#MotivationForAll#AthleteInspiration#Sportsmanship

There are many ways we can be present for each other. We can "check in" with each other, cheer up someone with a kind gesture, or if we see someone struggling under water in life, we can dive in for them like this coach did. Get in tune with your people, know how to help them, and stay plugged in. You might have to jump in with all of your clothes on and pull them to safety. It might be when you are at your weakest point too, BUT, you might have a little more gas than they do. This is why Vets who suffer together in extreme and often hostile circumstances make great leaders, as well as great followers - sometimes the boss needs a buddy check as well. Put this into immediate practice in your workplace and let's be there for each other.

This is what it requires to be part of a team and being your brother’s and sister’s keeper. This story can be applied to any operation. Everyone having their own assignment, but recognizing how the manufacturing processes fit together to function as designed. Recognizing when someone on the team needs help or when the process seems to be operating outside of normal. Jump in and support each other for the success of the team.

Leaders, Can your team count on you like this?Also, who do you have in your life you can count on to look out for you? Both are critical to your, your team, and the organizations success.

U18 World Championships with Finnish National Team ended on qurterfinals. At the same time, for now, my journey with national team ended up. Even with the disapoitment and not playing on final climax, it has been an amazing experince and priviledge to be part of the staff, with coaches I respect a lot and to work with talented players for 3 years. It has been a ride to remember for the rest of my life. Time flies and 3 years has gone past quick and always at the moment of the end you start to think and memorise backwards. Sad to say, but praising and living in the moment is not easy. As a coach, you focus to the process, you do your job and after all is finished and done, you reflect your teams actions, succesment or lack of it. What we forget, is to enjoy the moments more. We are involved with the gratest sport in the world (my oppinion), working with young players at clubs and national teams. To live at the moment, has been a biggest lesson that I have understood. Focus on the present. We had a frace: ”Today is the only day, yesterday is gone”. Everything is momentary which ends at some point and that is natural. We want to be better, we want to know more in every aspect of coaching and develop our ways of understanding to help players be better and help them to reach their goals. We need to live in the moment, be clear with who we are, how capable we are and how good we can be. Absorb all information that you can get, find more and talk more with others to learn, but praise the moment and focus on living at the moment. So when the end comes, you can be proud what you have achieved together with others. One thing is sure, the story continues…

How do we get our teams to perform like this? I mentioned attending my son’s first regatta a few weeks ago, but I cannot stop watching the video of his boat passing in such harmony. The special note: the crew had only rowed together a few times, and it was a Novice Race (first year of competitive rowing). They are focusing on a common goal, almost perfectly in sync, and working extremely hard to achieve something that can only be done together. Another aspect I cannot really understand is that they did not even have a leader/coordinator in the boat. Consider the achievement potential if our performance was like this group of 15 and 16-year-olds.

What sets a high performing team apart from the rest? If you think about it, winners and losers often have the same goal. Every single crew in the 2000 final of our Sydney race wanted that gold. So, what set us apart? 🥇 What made the difference in us clinching gold vs the Aussies, Italians or Croatians? In my opinion, there were two key fundamentals that made the difference from coming last to winning a Gold Medal at the Sydney Olympics (you’ve got to have both): 1) Having a common goal (a "3Ms" goal) 🎯 2) Fostering the high-performance culture and behaviours that would get us there. 🤝 Delighted to share more fully what I mean by these in my new article below 👇👇: https://bit.ly/4atKhkU In 1998 we were a rubbish team, by 2000 we were a good team. You've got to work on the team as much as the outcome. #team #goal #gold #performance #olympics Will It Make The Boat Go Faster?

It is only really with a pause in racing today (there is no wind), that one has time to reflect on the enormity of what has happened over the past couple of days. On Saturday we saw Group A, so the America's Cup teams women’s teams, racing. And, not wishing to bang on about it, but this is the FIRST time that there has EVER been a women’s event in the America’s Cup! So shout out to Grant Dalton and his team for getting this off the ground! But perhaps, for me, what added to the sense that we are witnessing something special, was when Group B, so the invited teams from Canada 🇨🇦, Spain 🇪🇸, the Netherlands 🇳🇱, Germany 🇩🇪, Sweden 🇸🇪 and Australia 🇦🇺, had their first day of racing yesterday. It was really emotional, in a way more so than the previous day - these six teams have fought really hard to get here, and most have had very little time on the water and/or in the SIM to get to grips with the AC40. When we wrote the Strategic Review into Women in Sailing, the one clear message from the research of some 7000 women, was #opportunity.  The #opportunity to take part, the #opportunity to belong and the #opportunity to have a space in this sport to be able to perform at the very top level.   There is absolutely no doubt that all 12 women’s teams are relishing this platform and the #opportunity for 48 women to be part of one of the premier events in sailing, and in sport. Something that Hannah Mills eloquently reinforces in this interview with Matthew Sheahan for #PlanetSail So bring it on!  💪 Both groups are back out racing tomorrow and, with four races in each group scheduled, there is very strong competition to win a podium place in each respective group, and therefore qualify for the semi finals. And if a team in Group B were to win the Puig Women's America's Cup , then that would be a real fairy tale ending. And, as in fairy tales, anything can happen...
