Soldier Field - ASM Global’s Post

Turning challenges into victories! Amidst the rapid growth of pickleball, it posed a unique challenge for the Parks industry. Thrilled to discuss our local pickleball courts with a reporter, using it as a platform to highlight community engagement in the parks' master plan process. Gratitude for the chance to spotlight the bright side in a recent article. #Pickleball #communityengagement #Masterplan #parksandrecreation

There really isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for my Club FCBattersea. It’s been a long process but we’re learning as we go how to get a pitch cut out like Wembley. We have a Moto “Make it happen”. 2 days of hard graft with one of the dads, will definitely be worth in the end. Wear many hats as a coach, finally put my groundsman hat on. #coachdevelopment #learninganddevelopment #groundstaff

#groundsweek Start of grounds week in the UK. A chance for us to promote all things sports turf. I have been in the sports turf industry for 40 years now and absolutely love it! I have been lucky enough in my career to work at; ·     Local authorities ·     Contracting companies ·     Southampton FC ·     Charterhouse School ·     Liverpool FC Now having my own business, I am able to put back into our industry and support others in sports turf, developing and delivering training courses to people across the globe. Our industry is fantastic. We design, build, and maintain the stage that athletes perform on. We are supported by consultants, machinery and products that can help us manage our grass. If you look at pitches from a few decades ago you can see the huge changes to quality, consistency and performance. Without out hard work and dedication many natural grass surfaces would be dangerous and unplayable or perform inconsistently resulting is the athletes not being able to perform at their optimums. Many see us as grass cutters, and yes that is one of the many skills we carry out. However, we have a lot of additional challenges put upon us. We deal with mother nature and her weather. ·     Seasonal changes, ·     Challenges of heavy fixture lists, ·     Other non-sporting events, ·     Pests and diseases We have to constantly plan and adapt to the challenges in front of us. It’s a unique skill set built from training, experience and shared knowledge. Challenges don’t just come from the grass. We have a lot of pressure put upon us. If a team loses, more often the blame is put onto the sports surface, our responsibility. The more money involved in the sport, the greater the pressure of a loss or an injury to players is felt by the grounds team, social media can also be brutal! We don’t look for praise or reward (although that is always appreciated 😉 ) we do it because we know we make a difference. We get the game on and will always endeavour to give the players the best surface we can. #Groundsweek Grounds Management Association Time to pat our backs and raise awareness of our sports turf  industry and encourage others to get involved. #thegma #groundsmanagement #sportsturf #istma
