TIME TO LEVEL UP AUSTRALIA | In light of the revelations by NVIDIA this week at #CES2025, I couldn’t think of a better time to share this Make It Happen HQ milestone.

For some time I have been convinced that the next frontier of sport performance will come by way of sporting environments and cultures that are truly inspired by a cutting-edge understanding of human psychology. Considering what I have been discovering about how some of the most progressive businesses and organisations in the world operate, I now firmly believe this will be elite sport's next Moneyball (only bigger). That is – fresh insights about the underlying reality of the world that fundamentally shifts how we organise sport, bringing about extraordinary results. We often hear about how much business can learn from elite sport, well this is one area where some maverick businesses have created a blueprint for the rest of us to follow. Check out my blog to see what I'm talking about! Teal breakthroughs: Elite sport's next moneyball https://lnkd.in/esNrENZ2
