Another great weekend of Game 7s, photo finishes and first time winners. Congrats to Lando Norris for his first ever F1 win and McLaren Racing for their first victory since 2012. And speaking of winners, let's nominate this week's winners of the Nice Guy and Gal Awards. Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals). If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EST on Thursday. There are only 3 requirements: 1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate 2) you can only nominate one person per week 3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀   If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement. Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice. Have a great day, everyone. https://lnkd.in/eCPZ9Bsf   #network #sportsbiz #people #niceguy #networking #sportsmarketing

I I thoroughly enjoyed this interview and learning about Brighton's strategic approach to club building and operations, which is clearly guided by a defined vision, mission, and values. 1. Does your club possess a clearly defined vision, mission, and set of values? 2. Do you personally possess a clearly defined mission, vision, and set of values? #football #footballclub #footballmanagement #footballbusiness

In Swindon’s recent win, you could sense new manager Ian Holloway’s efforts to build a culture of accountability, winning, and competition after a tough start to the season. While success is often measured by short-term results, it’s also about creating the right connection between players, staff, fans, and ownership, all while setting a clear long-term vision for progress. Their opponents, Wycombe Wanderers, are a standout example in the EFL this season, sitting atop League One ahead of clubs like Birmingham City and Wrexham. They’ve developed a culture of consistency, belief, and identity, showing what’s possible when a club gets it right. But as we all know, these transformations take time, patience, and commitment. The challenge for any club is balancing the ambition to move forward with staying true to its identity—a delicate but rewarding process. For clubs like Swindon, the journey is certainly ongoing, but with a 2-1 win and progression to the next stage of the Vertu Cup, it’s a small yet meaningful step in the right direction for the team. #SportsOwnership #FootballManagement

Two words come to mind for THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WIN: Resilience & Grit !!! Resilience is the ability to withstand; to recover quickly from difficult conditions. Grit is courage and resolve; strength of character. The Buckeyes demonstrated huge amounts of both of these to come back and WIN the National Championship. Even though they faced insurmountable odds, doubt and criticism, the BUCKEYES buckled down, remembered their value/worth, and persevered, with great resilience and grit for the WIN. This lessen from the BUCKEYES can help us in our own careers, as we remember that even though we face hardships and challenges, we can press through - with resilience and grit - to make the impossible, possible! WAY TO GO BUCKEYES! O - H !!!!

An awesome discussion in our office yesterday with a couple of Aussie basketball legends, with Brad Newley doing a great job interviewing Jack White. I really enjoyed the conversation and thought I'd share some of my personal takeaways: Overcoming adversity – Jack shared how he’d suffered a torn Achilles in his first season in the NBL. Jack spoke of the disappointment of having such a significant injury at the very start of his professional career, as well as his concern for the risk of losing some of the athleticism that makes him a special player. He endured and overcame by controlling what he could and working tirelessly on his recovery. Focus and dedication saw him come back in 9 months and you get the sense he’s stronger for overcoming the challenge. Whether we like it or not, we will all face forms of adversity in our lives. How we face up to that adversity, the actions we take, informs our chances to make the best of any situation and keep moving forward, ultimately growing from the experience. Learning from Mentors – Jack spoke of his experience with Coach K at Duke, Dean Vickerman’s leadership as well as learning from the accomplished veteran players he’d always looked up to from Melbourne, like Matthew Dellavedova, Chris Goulding and Brad Newley. By learning from others Jack shared that he expects that he has and will continue to make the most of his playing career. My observation is that those (in sport or business) that have the type of personality to want to learn from others, often later become great teachers and supporters of others down the track. This type of role model cycling is critical to foster in any organisation that wants to prosper over the long term. Keeping a balanced perspective – Sports (and business) can have highs and lows. With Melbourne United most recently moving from a big loss against the Breakers at the start of November, to then delivering 2 big wins over the last few days, resulting in moving to the top of the NBL ladder. Jack spoke to staying balanced, focusing on the process and avoiding getting too high or low after a good or less good game. Jack mentioned the belief and culture that has been instilled within the United team that they can bounce back if they put the work in, and have a track record of doing so. I thought this was a really interesting point, as belief and culture often becomes intertwined as long as it informs constructive action. Overall a great experience and we're very grateful that Jack and Brad gave us their time. Go United!
