In the fast-paced world of gaming, competition thrives, and individual skills are celebrated. But there's another force at play, one that fuels passion and fuels loyalty – community. Communities are more than just gathering places for players. They're spaces where shared passions for games come together, fostering a sense of belonging that transcends the individual experience. Here, players become part of something larger than the game itself. Within these communities, magic happens, friendships are forged, strategies are debated and memories are made. Communities become sounding boards for tactics and techniques, as players learn and grow from each other. This sense of connection and shared experience is what keeps players engaged and passionate. It's the reason communities are essential in today's gaming landscape. At SportsBaazi, we understand the power of community.  We're committed to fostering a thriving space where players can connect, engage, and celebrate their love for the game.

That HUNGERBALL will become one of the most played games is not a matter of if, but rather of when and how. This rapid growth is due to its uniquely fun and inclusive nature, and the holistic benefits supported by research (e.g. physical literacy, emotional wellbeing, educational/skill development, social connections). Have-a-go sessions often lead to regular ones. New areas where the game becomes accessible are constantly added. Fun, inclusive in-and-out rotations have started to be complemented by healthy competitions where everyone has a chance to win and represent, even those who don't have much skill or interest for traditional sports. Our journey is fuelled by a movement driven by a community of 'hungerballers': players, facilitators, associates, partners. The common vision is simple: getting more individuals, families, schools and communities to move, laugh & connect together through the power of play!

🏀 Community: The Game Changer in Life & Success 🌟 Hey everyone! Today, I want to share a powerful insight that has been a game-changer for me. It’s all about the importance of community. As a former pro athlete, I’ve seen firsthand how being part of a tight-knit community can elevate your game. In the world of sports, especially in the elite circles of the NBA, community is everything. It’s where friendships are forged, and greatness is nurtured. But what happens when the game is over? For me, transitioning from the basketball court to the business field was all about finding a new community. Joining a country club introduced me to a network of successful individuals who shared my aspirations. So here’s a challenge for you: Are you part of a community that uplifts and drives you toward your goals? If not, it’s never too late to find your tribe. Remember, it’s not about where you start; it’s about where you decide to belong. Let’s build our success, one community at a time. 💼🚀 #Community #Success #Networking #PersonalGrowth #LifeLessons

I am a Manchester United fan and a fan of Ben Foster and Fozcast - The Ben Foster Podcast (and Tom Ochoa whose comment put this in my path) - - which was my introduction to Mark Goldbridge and his work. Unbeknownst to me, my teenage son already knew Mark and was consuming his content from here in the US. Community that Mark references below is so important for everything we do. If you try to create for everyone, you really create for no one. Create the work that you love and that you are passionate about. Find the audience that will come along with you because they like what you stand for and they appreciate your work. Even when that audience grows - stay true to yourself. What a great example to have a community show up in a unique way for a unique event to watch along together and share the experience of a Super Bowl in the UK in the dead of the night! Sports Business Classes - - Consuming sports through nontraditional channels is here to stay. Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, and other outlets are allowing viewers a sports experience that builds and serves a specific community. What are the advantages of this alternative experience, like the Watch-Along below? What could larger broadcasters learn from it? How have some broadcasters already altered their approach? What are the risks in this approach? Finally - - One concept to throw in BARRIERS TO ENTRY. What are the barriers to entry to begin to create a community like Mark has? (Hint - not many barriers... but hard work, consistency, persistence, resilience, and some more consistency are pretty important along the way!)

🚀✨It’s time. 🚀✨ It’s time for us to really take a closer look at the impact that sports can have on the world. Front Office Sports shared that Super Bowl LVIII brought an audience of 123.4 million—it made HISTORY. + gofos.co/3SWo74n 123.4 million. • what are people watching? • who are they watching? • what are they hearing? My brother Timothy F. Bryson takes us around the world to think internalionnally about sports & student-athletes. My brother Amobi Okugo helps us think about finances and partnership in sports. Now is the time. Let’s go bigger. Let’s think community uplift, community development, K-12 improvement, the eradication of marginalization. If everyone gave 1 quarter… .25cents during the game. What could that do? Simple = yes. Achievable = yes. Barriers = none. If legal barriers= why? 🤔 Each one, reach one. It’s time to win championships for & with empowerment in mind, too 🚀 #BiggerThanSports | #NFL | #communitybuilding | #StudentSuccess | #sportsbiz

While my last post was talking about the NFL game. Here is another post on sharing my First Steps in Golf as a part of my US trip. It's a new experience Having little knowledge about the golf sport beforehand, I participated in some practice games and discovered its unique challenges and joys. What I understood was, Golf is a fantastic game that really brings people together. It’s not just about hitting a ball; it’s about spending hours outdoors, enjoying the fresh air, and soaking in the scenery. Whether you’re out there to compete, relax, networking, or just catch up with friends. Plus, the satisfaction of nailing that perfect shot or sinking a tricky putt makes all the practice worthwhile. It’s a game where every player can find their own joy. It was a humbling experience to learn the basics and engage with fellow players. This journey reminded me of the importance of stepping out of our comfort zones and embracing new challenges, both personally and professionally. I am excited to continue exploring and sharing insights of 1 our product development Stories in my next post! Some favorite parts of my playing I am sharing here Thanks to Muthu Raj for teaching this game! and Vick Subbu Dilip Rajkumar Sathish M for accompanying me... #Golf #Learning #PersonalGrowth #NewExperiences #Sysviners #sysvine # Sysvine Technologies

Health and Safety sometimes get a bad rep, but its an area that gives direct reporting and contact into the heads of all businesses. I've worked with, supported and audited 1000's of business owners and Manging Directors over the years in my role as both Consultant and Auditor. Many people don't realise the level of privilege that it brings; but also the peek behind the curtain it gives to get to know these people at the top of each business. Within my role I've never lost sight of the "health" aspect of health and safety, which in many instances means less clipboard and red pen, and more conversations into how even the leaders of businesses manage the stress and pressure of life. I cant recall one person that I've worked with where I've thought that the person has it all together. In fact I would say that its normally the opposite of that; that person has often created an island for themselves to protect them from the pressures of life. This fully includes myself - having been my own best hero and villain at times. Its hard to have those conversations some times - when you are someone that sees and feels the battle that people are facing and wants to help. What's being built at NXT45 is a community that supports such people, and curates an environment of openness and shared experience for men in that second stage of their lives. Second stage of life - that sounds like a daunting prospect, and maybe a deep breath before we set those words free into the air... For me its a badge of honour to say that - I've made it through the stormy and turbulence that youth brings, and have reached the summit of my "first mountain" but where to next? I've been focussing on this challenge for the past 2 years and have found the next peak to look up to. I have only been able to do that by surrounding myself with new people who face the same challenge as I do. They haven't given me the answers - but they have shown me the questions I should be asking of myself. So I ask of you - are you asking the right questions of yourself - do you know the path forward - but most importantly - have you surrounded yourself with the right community to help you on your path?

Hey, GoBig community! 🎉 In the spirit of March Madness, that exhilarating time we all adore, let’s talk about the rollercoaster of emotions it brings. 🏀💔 I missed watching the first round for the first time in years, which was a bummer. But the Samford vs. Kansas game? It was a heartbreaker, especially since my son’s future lies with Samford. They lost by a hair - either by one point or three, amid controversy over a final foul. 😢🙌 This moment, so intense and emotional, mirrors our journey in business and life. It’s easy to blame a single setback for our troubles, much like that final, disputed foul. However, the true lessons lie in the details - in preparation, discipline, accountability, and overcoming hurdles, much like avoiding turnovers and making those crucial free throws. 🚀📘 It’s a reminder to focus on the entire journey, not just the bumps along the road. 💼🌟 Let’s embrace this wisdom as we stride forward. 💪 Love you all, and remember, let’s Go Big this year! 🌈🎊 🏀 #MarchMadness #GoBig #SamfordVsKansas #BasketballHeartache #LifeLessons #BusinessStrategy #Discipline #Accountability #OvercomingSetbacks #PreparationIsKey #EmbraceTheJourney #GoBigCommunity #HeartOverHurdles #EmotionalResilience #Teamwork #SuccessMindset #ChaseYourDreams #StayFocused #NeverGiveUp #LoveAndBasketball #GameTime #WinningSpirit #UnderdogStory #SportingSpirit #GoBigOrGoHome #BasketballLife 🏀 📞 Need to chat about changes or challenges in your business journey, let’s book some time to talk https://lnkd.in/gWNe9rmq 📧 Not ready for a phone call, shoot me an email at Seth@GoBigCC.com.
