Dick Fosbury and the most successful flop of all times What a privilege to be in Paris during these phenomenal #JOPARIS2024! While attending an athletics event in the #StadedeFrance, I reflect on the legacy of #DickFosbury (1947-2023) and his gold medal in the high jump in Mexico 1968 Olympic games. Fosbury pioneered a revolutionary technique of high jump that allowed him to win the gold medal and that was totally different from the prevalent straddle technique of that time. At start, it was ironically called “the Fosbury flop” looking at the way he landed on his back, but it was all but a flop! Over time, most athletes adopted and improved his technique that is since then prevalent in the high jump. For that reason, #DickFosbury is considered one of the most influential athletes of all times. What I find amazing is how he developed this revolutionary technique during his college years: he found lots of coaches advising him to jump “the orthodox way” and focusing on teaching him the straddle technique. He kept practising both ways, until the day that results made clear that he performed better using his own style. His coach Berny Wagner gave up trying to correct him and began helping him to refine his technique. The path to the Olympic gold medal was cleared and the biggest revolution in high jump had just started. Have a look: https://lnkd.in/e3mq3ADm What can we business coaches and executives learn from Dick Fosbury and his sport coaches? Do we have the courage to let our talents unleash their potential in the way they prefer, or do we force them to adopt “the established way”? Do we have the objectivity to assess performance and recognise when somebody has better results using a different approach and not doing as we are used to? Are we humble enough to let our beliefs aside and truly support them to refine their innovation? Performance, in sports and business, comes from hard work, autonomy and trust.

Construction to begin in Q4 2025 👌 Sligo County Council Sligo Chamber of Commerce 📝Eastern Garvogue Bridge and Approach Roads. The Eastern Garvogue Bridge and Approach Road Scheme is of strategic importance to the development of Sligo and in linking communities and facilitating development within Sligo City especially the east ward of the city. The scheme has been developed as a traffic calmed urban distributor road consisting of a 2-way single carriageway, a dedicated 2-way cycle way with footpaths on either side. Development of the Scheme will promote the development of the Sligo Urban Area as a compact urban city with a strong urban core, will discourage urban sprawl, will reduce travel times within the city and therefore will encourage active travel forms of transport. The Eastern Garvogue Bridge and Approach Roads Project is listed for construction in the National Development Plan 2018 to 2027. Progress to Date: • Consultation with all relevant Stakeholders. • Public consultations held. • Planning permission granted for scheme by An Bord Pleanála. • Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) confirmed by An Bord Pleanála. • Notices to Treat issued to affected land and property owners. • Valuer appointed by Sligo County Council. • Detailed design public consultation held. • Submissions analysed and design amendments carried out. • Amended details and model prepared and put on public display. • Site testing, Site Clearance and archaeological investigations completed. Current Status: Engineering Consultants have been appointed to assist in completing the Detailed Design and construction of the Project. Detailed design of the scheme is been progressed and is expected to be completed by Q4 2024. The Scheme will then progress to Phases 5 -Preparation of Tenders documentation to go to Construction. This is planned to start in Q4 2024 and should be completed by Q2 2025. Consultation is ongoing with Landowners affected by the CPO to agree accommodation works and agree compensation. Advanced works scoping is been carried out to determine if there is a requirement for appropriate additional surveys, investigations or advance works. It is expected that Phase 6 Construction of the Scheme will start in Q4 2025. https://lnkd.in/eFWm3UUi

Following three of my great passions, Rugby, Tech and Construction, Exploring the Synergy: Asite and Winning Rugby Teams 🏉🏗️ In the dynamic world of construction and rugby, seemingly disparate entities like Asite and winning rugby teams share intriguing similarities. Let’s delve into their common threads and uncover how they both achieve excellence: 1. Full-Frontal Assault: Power and Persistence Ireland’s Rugby Dominance: The Irish rugby team, much like Asite, stands out for its relentless approach. They pound opposing defences, forcing them into submission. Ireland’s ball-carriers are punishing, comfortable on the ball, and relentless in their work rate Asite’s Construction Impact: Similarly, Asite’s cloud-based project management software delivers a full-frontal assault on project chaos. It empowers teams to collaborate seamlessly, ensuring critical information doesn’t slip through the cracks. Just as Ireland’s tackles overwhelm opponents, Asite’s tools tackle inefficiencies head-on. 2. Quality Over Quantity: Making Every Move Count Ireland’s Strategic Ball-Carriers: Ireland doesn’t just rack up tackles; they make them count. Their punishing ball-carriers create line-breaks, hurt opponents, and move past the gainline. It’s not about the sheer number of tackles; it’s about what they do with each one. Asite’s Precision: Similarly, Asite focuses on quality over quantity. Their solutions streamline processes, improve cost management, and enhance project delivery. Just as Ireland’s players graft, create, and hurt, Asite’s tools optimise efficiency and drive profitability. 3. Work in Progress: Continuous Improvement Springboks’ Evolution: The Springboks, despite their World Cup victories, remain a work in progress. They adapt, evolve, and inject fresh blood into their coaching set-up. Their identity remains intact, but they constantly seek improvement. Asite’s Adaptive Approach: Asite, too, evolves. Their open construction platform connects dispersed teams, enabling better collaboration. They build resilience, just as the Springboks build their legacy. 4. World Champions: Excellence as the Standard Springboks’ Legacy: The Springboks, reigning World Champions, set the standard. Their green and gold jerseys symbolise excellence, and they’ve won the World Cup four times. They’re a benchmark for rugby greatness3. Asite’s Commitment: Asite mirrors this commitment to excellence. Their cloud-based tools connect the design, build, and management phases, ensuring seamless collaboration. Just as the Springboks aim for back-to-back victories, Asite strives for continuous success. In conclusion, whether on the rugby field or in construction, the pursuit of greatness unites Asite and winning rugby teams. Both thrive on precision, adaptability, and a relentless drive to be the best. So, next time you’re managing a project, channel your inner rugby champion—tackle challenges head-on, make every move count, and aim for the grand slam of success! 🏉🏗️

Here we go again. Having done a few sports complexes over the last few years, figured why not do it again. KPI Engineering, Inc. is excited about this project and humbled to be able to be a part of such an impact on the town of City of Odessa, Texas! Glad to hear the excitement from City officials and others as the project continues to get underway. Also, looking forward to the impact sports tourism dollars will have on the area. The partnership with PAUL STRESING ASSOCIATES, INC. and RADDSports has already produced successful ventures for the complexes and municipalities we've worked with before. While the design and construction team which also includes Construction Manager Scherer Construction may not be directly involved in the operation of the complex, the team understands a successful implementation of the project is of prime importance and that includes its design, collaboration with selected contractors during construction, and final close out.

𝗚𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆𝘀! 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 The Queensland government has announced a major backflip on its Olympic stadium plans, opting to retain the iconic Gabba instead of a proposed $2.7 billion demolition and rebuild. This decision comes after significant community pressure and an independent review that suggested replacing the Gabba with a new stadium at Victoria Park. Here's a quick rundown of the key points: ✳️ Gabba Gets a Reprieve: The beloved stadium will be upgraded instead of being demolished, a major win for traditionalists. ✳️ Victoria Park Stays Green: The government has rejected plans for a new stadium at Victoria Park, prioritizing the green space for the community. ✳️ Upgrades for Other Venues: While the Gabba avoids demolition, expect improvements to Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre and Suncorp Stadium. ✳️ Brisbane Arena on Track: Construction of the Brisbane Arena, a key Olympic venue, will proceed as planned. This decision reflects a shift towards a more balanced approach to Olympic infrastructure development. It prioritizes community sentiment and existing facilities while acknowledging the need for upgrades. What are your thoughts on this decision? Let's discuss in the comments! #BuildingTalks #GabbaStadium #Queensland
