A recent study reveals a fascinating insight: playing tennis could potentially add up to 10 years to your life! 🎾 The research found that tennis, especially when combined with social interaction and bursts of intense activity, offered the greatest longevity benefits compared to other sports. Whether you're training or simply enjoying a friendly match, incorporating tennis into your routine might not only improve your physical health but also extend your lifespan. So, why not channel your inner Nadal and start swinging for the extra years? 💪 (Me in the blue shirt) #TennisForLife #Longevity #AustralianOpen #HealthAndWellness

🎾 Excited to share insights from "The Inner Game of Tennis"! This book isn't just about improving your tennis skills; it's a profound exploration of the mental aspects of performance. Tim Gallwey emphasizes the importance of quieting the mind and fostering self-awareness, which can be applied to all areas of life. By focusing on the process rather than the outcome, we can enhance our concentration, reduce anxiety, and ultimately perform better. Whether you're on the court or navigating challenges in your career, embracing the principles of the inner game can lead to greater success and fulfillment. Let’s remind ourselves to trust our instincts and enjoy the journey! 🌟 #InnerGame #Tennis #Mindfulness #Performance #PersonalDevelopment

Effective communication is like a friendly match of tennis, where you pass the ball back and forth. 🎾 One of the key elements is to listen actively and respond thoughtfully, ensuring the conversation stays balanced and engaging. Just like in tennis, practice is essential. Each conversation helps you refine your skills, boosting your competence. And with competence comes confidence. Whether you’re in a professional setting or personal chat, remember: the more you practice, the more natural it becomes. 💬✨ #CommunicationSkills #EffectiveCommunication #LeadershipSkills #ConfidenceBoost #PersonalGrowth #CoachLife #SelfImprovement #ActiveListening #StoryTellingTips #ProfessionalDevelopment | photo credit: Moises Alex via Unsplash

April 23rd is World Table Tennis Day and an opportunity to celebrate and support the inclusive nature of this sport for all ages, all abilities, anytime, anywhere. What is more, it’s a great chance for you to introduce some innovative action into your working environment!🏓 Sitting still at a desk all day is sooooo last century! Your team, employees or students have got to get their work done – but what if they became happier, healthier, more creative, more interactive and more productive because they move more?🏃 Research has found that Physically Active Learning (PAL) can: • Improve classroom behaviour and activity engagement. • Significantly reduce sedentary periods of time. • Offer aggregated improvement in academic performance over time. The dynamic nature of movement allows cognitive development… When we move, we activate our neurons which clears our minds, helps us think better, and makes our thoughts more fluid. But how do you introduce this effectively and with minimal disruption? A Table Tennis table, or even a Table Tennis table topper (try saying that after a couple of games!) is the ultimate solution. It doesn’t need much space, especially if you are just using an existing table, and anyone can have a go at Table Tennis. A full match or just a rally or two; individual v. the wall; one-on-one whilst waiting for a market price; pairs at lunchbreak; pre-work rotating Ping Pong - the options are endless and the benefits are huge. It fun, it’s healthy and it gets minds loosened up and ready to roll!🙌🚀 https://lnkd.in/eVGJGQbh #TableTennis #WorldTableTennisDay #Sportsafe #SupportingTheNextGeneration

#InnovationAtWork: Meetings with a difference! I had an exciting experience this week: Instead of a typical meeting room, I discussed our #EmployerBranding Roadmap 2025 with my dear colleague Melanie Sahlberg over a game of table tennis and on the action wall. The ping pong ball bounced back and forth (or sometimes where it shouldn't 😉) while initial ideas took shape. Scientific studies show that physical activity increases creativity. A Stanford University study found that walking can increase creative production by up to 60% compared to sitting (Oppezzo & Schwartz, 2014). #creativity It seems time to put away the office chairs and swing the table tennis bats.
