The Game Hubs Network - seeding alternative models in youth sport 🏉 🏀 ⚽️ 🏑 🏏 The past week saw (at least) two Australian state sporting organisations send out strongly worded communications regarding the current attitudes and behaviours of adults in youth sport, adding to the growing evidence that "we know better but aren't doing better" when it comes to tackling this wicked problem. There are also signs that things may get worse before (if?) they get better. Coincidentally, these communications came on my radar as I was putting the finishing touches on the key learnings and reflections from our year-long "Game Hub" experiment with a local council and young people in the north west of Adelaide. Here is a snapshot of the aspiration and strategic intent of the Game Hubs Network...

The Game Hubs approach comes from nearly 10 years of theory 🔄 practice in tackling complex & wicked problems in sport and wider society. A particular focus is on how local, state and national organisations can reimagine their role to better "provide support and enabling infrastructure" for experimentation and generation of collective wisdom (h/t Jono Byrne). Get in touch if you would like to have a (virtual) coffee conversation about activating a Game Hub, funding or contributing to the network in some form.

Spectator sports offer manufactured stakes, far from the game's real heat. One example of a spectator sport is the betting opportunities surrounding that sport. Once a spectator places a bet, he or she puts something at stake and cheers for the outcome in the sport that will make him or her win. However, it's not the same intensity that a player in the arena encounters during the game. The question is: Are you playing a spectator sport, but celebrating as if you were playing a real sport? _____ → If you like this type of insights, follow me Rajesh Setty → Kindly Repost ♻️ if you think it might help people in your network

At Fanbers, we believe in the power of fandom to uplift, inspire, and create memorable experiences. Fans are the heartbeat of any sports event, and their energy can truly change the game. However, we understand the importance of channeling that energy in a positive and respectful manner. Imagine a stadium where every fan is united, singing in harmony, with synchronized slogans tailored to the moment. With Fanbers, club representatives can broadcast these messages directly to fans’ mobile devices, and all fans can see the slogans on their mobils' screen and can sing and support their team and of course enjoy more form being togegher. This feature is named Fanchant in Fanbers. Our goal is to provide fans with the tools to express their passion constructively and in a way that enhances the experience for everyone involved. We believe that when fans are engaged in a positive way, they can influence the outcome not just of the game, but of the entire event, while upholding the highest standards of sportsmanship. Let’s change the game together—one positive cheer at a time. #Fanbers #Fandom #PositiveEnergy #Sportsmanship #FanEngagement
