The Six Nations. The ultimate prize in international rugby. But what can the 130th edition of this historic tournament teach us about business and running a successful team? Hult professor and rugby fan Maxted Neal shares his top three insights below:    1.) Process over outcome. Focus on each action rather than success itself.  2.) Interdependence over independence. Star players don’t make a team—every member does.  3.) Long-term success over short-term goals. Prioritize clear objectives and time for reflection.     Check out the carousel for Max’s insights in full.    And for more key insights into the world of business, head over to the Hult blog: https://bit.ly/3vb57Gk Six Nations Rugby #hultinternationalbusinessschool #sixnations

🇫🇷 The French Open is just around the corner, and we couldn't be more excited! Here are some lesser-known, fascinating facts about this grand slam event to rally your spirits: 🎾 Night Matches Under the Lights: Starting in 2021, the French Open introduced night sessions under the lights, a first in its long history. This move not only added a dramatic flair to the matches but also allowed more fans to catch the action after work. 🎾 Unique Ball Change: Unlike other grand slams, the French Open changes its tennis balls every seven games instead of nine. This is because the clay surface wears the balls down more quickly, affecting how they play during long matches. 🎾 The Youngest Champ: Monica Seles holds the record for the youngest champion in the French Open history, winning the title at just 16 years and 6 months old in 1990. Her victory paved the way for a new era of young winners in tennis. 🎾 Pigeon Problems: Roland Garros has had its share of feathery interruptions. The venue used trained hawks to scare away pigeons that sometimes disrupt play by flying dangerously close to the courts. #FrenchOpen #TheFrenshOpen #FrenchOpen2024 #Sportscover #sportsinsurance #insurance #insurancebroker #insuranceagent #injuryinsurance #injurycover

The longest javelin throw in history was 104.80 meters, achieved by Uwe Hohn in 1984 using a technique and javelin design considered "out of control". Uwe Hohn's throw of 104.80 meters is remembered as an extraordinary and historic milestone in the history of the javelin throw. This feat occurred on July 20, 1984 at an event in East Germany. Uwe Hohn performed this throw at a time when javelin design and throwing technique were undergoing changes. Hohn's throw was not only a world record, but also a turning point in the sport of javelin throw. Javelins of the time were designed to fly long distances, but at the same time their movement in the air was unstable, making it difficult to control. After this record, changes were made to the rules of the game and the design of the javelin to prevent such unexpected throws and make the game safer and fairer. In 1986, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) changed the weight and design of the javelin to make it more stable in the air. After these changes, Hohn's record became an unbeaten one, as long throws were no longer possible under the new rules. It is an interesting and unusual event in history that highlights the importance of rules and design in the world of sports.
