The court and in the stands… build the story… The key issue is to find a starting point, to be confused between being distinctive to segment target and in the same way to align with the rest of the industry. Sponsorship is creating meaningful differences that underpin brand’s competitive advantage and build the story... #Tennis #Sport #Sponsorship #Partnership #Tourism #Luxury https://lnkd.in/dxYGCjvx

Well done South Africa on your 4th consecutive win of the Rugby World Cup. and before anyone thinks Sport doesn't belong in a ""business social media platform", I ask you to consider lessons relevant from their wins. South Africa has followed a rigorous practice of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity since 1994 (even legislating its quotas and criminality for non- compliance). The Rugby Union has held steadfastly to the requirement of merit in their selection process. they have identified potential, honed it and held it responsible for working for the good of the whole making one diverse powerful team. NOT my words but from something forwarded to me: "There are those who are going to say this wasn't the best way to win a world cup. That the better team lost. They've said that of the last few games. But it depends what you measure. And actually it matters what you measure, because most of us look at it in totally the wrong way. Winning is not about measuring skill or talent. If you read your history some of the greatest battles have been lost by those with more skill and far more might. Winning comes through the spirit you share with your tribe. How you harness that spirit, and spin that magic into existence in the conflict you are facing. And in this world cup we watched a team who had more spirit, more heart and more importantly, more love for one another than any other team in any other world cup. Yes they were beaten by skill, by strength, by strategy and even by luck on many occasions in these games. But they never gave up, because those things weren't the defining factor for them. They weren't measuring their performance, or their team mates by that yard stick. They were feeling the spirit of their collective. They were trusting each other. Deeply. The bone shattering kind of trust that most of us never get to feel. So if you're one of those who has been saying they should have won by more points, or done things differently. Then you've missed the whole point. You haven't noticed the most important aspect of what makes this group so special. Because if you'd paid attention you would understand, that this is the team who could have lost the world cup tonight... and still been the best team in the world. #rugbyworldcup #rugby #springboks #bokrugby #RWC2023 #StrongerTogether IF YOU ARE STILL GOING TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS BY CHECKING LAST MONTHS FINANCIALS AFTER READING THIS. ASK YOURSELF "HOW MUCH BETTER COULD WE BE IF WE PAID MORE ATTENTION TO SELECTING AND HONING OUR TEAM FROM WHOM WE EXPECT THE RESULTS?"

💥 Let’s talk about the “Rafa Resilience”! 💥 As we tune in to Rafael Nadal’s recent interviews during the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell - Trofeo Conde de Godó, it's evident: the king of clay seems to gear up for one last magnificent performance. With both the French Open and #Olympics hosted at the Stade Roland Garros this year, Nadal gets two chances to grace his favorite stage, where he has clinched an impressive 14 Grand Slam titles. 🎾💪 His legacy, both on and off the court, is monumental. There’s a reason why 1,200 athletes voted him 2nd in our survey on the mentally toughest athletes. And that reason is what the New York Tennis Magazine once coined as the “Rafa Resilience”. But what exactly comprises this resilience? ➡️ Rafa’s humility shines through, never indulging in boasting or undermining his opponents, but rather focusing on his game and what he can control. ➡️ Equanimity allows him to remain calm and composed even in the face of daunting challenges.  ➡️ His relentless passion and never-say-die attitude. Or as he puts it: “I learned during my career to enjoy suffering.” 👉 Join us in celebrating the enduring legacy of Rafael Nadal. Share your cherished moments and reflections on the tennis icon in the comments! #mentaltoughness #championmindset #sportspsychology #mindsc #hardworkpaysoff #growthmindset #rafaelnadal #roadtoparis2024 ATP Tour International Tennis Federation Tennis Channel Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024

🎯The final of the PDC World Darts Championships in London yesterday was one of the first World Championship decisions of the year. In an exciting and high-class final, England's Luke Humphries prevailed against 16-year-old Luke Littler🏆 The World Darts Championship takes place every year between mid-December and early January at the Alexandra Palace ("Ally Pally") in London and each session is watched by almost 3,500 spectators who celebrate and cheer on their stars and darts now has the second highest viewing figures on British TV after soccer. Due to the favorable timing, I also got stuck watching the World Darts Championship on TV years ago. After the Christmas roast, it's just absolutely fascinating to watch the professionals throw their darts with such precision in order to bring the 501 points to zero and hit the small double fields on the outer edge of the target to finally win a leg. As I watched the final on TV yesterday, I wondered what everyone can learn from darts - here are my three learnings: 1️⃣ keep the focus: the pros, while throwing their darts, don't get distracted by 3,500 partying spectators or the fact that there are a good dozen TV cameras on them and some heat on stage, due to the TV spotlights. The best players manage to block all this out and have maximum focus on their goal. Applied to life, for me this means that if you really want something, don't let yourself be distracted by noise, but focus on your goal. 2️⃣ learn to deal with setbacks: Darts is an extremely fast game - every leg and every set is a new decision situation and even the best players don't hit every pocket the way they want to. What separates the best players from the good players is the fact that they quickly put these setbacks behind them and immediately refocus on their goal - each of us has situations in life in which we are confronted with setbacks. The question is: how do we deal with them? 3️⃣ be flexible and adjust quickly: At the World Cup, the so-called "501 - double out" mode is played, which means that players start with 501 points and try to get them to zero as quickly as possible, but must end the leg with a throw in the double field (the outer ring of the dartboard). There are any number of ways to achieve this. During a game, the pros are repeatedly confronted with the fact that they do not hit the squares they actually want to hit and are able to adjust their paths and find new solutions in fractions of a second. Unfortunately, even in life, the best plan rarely works the way we originally conceived it and the goal can only be achieved if it is adapted at lightning speed and we react flexibly to changing circumstances.
