ZGF Architects’ Post

This sports #stadium #development is a prime example of successful collaboration between the city, the county, a professional sports organization, and a private developer. The project plans include 6,000 residential units (1,200 designated as affordable/workforce housing and 4,800 as market-rate #multifamily housing) along with 750,000 square feet of #retail space, a game day plaza, a cultural arts promenade, and dedicated green space with trail connectivity. #SanAntonio should take note, especially considering we've built two stadiums that have failed to activate the surrounding areas. Both are surrounded by asphalt parking lots that remain locked and unused for six days out of the week... let's start thinking bigger... #Alamodome #FrostBankCenter #RealEstate

High school sports in Texas is on a different level

This should be an awkward exit interview.

Dick Fosbury and the most successful flop of all times What a privilege to be in Paris during these phenomenal #JOPARIS2024! While attending an athletics event in the #StadedeFrance, I reflect on the legacy of #DickFosbury (1947-2023) and his gold medal in the high jump in Mexico 1968 Olympic games. Fosbury pioneered a revolutionary technique of high jump that allowed him to win the gold medal and that was totally different from the prevalent straddle technique of that time. At start, it was ironically called “the Fosbury flop” looking at the way he landed on his back, but it was all but a flop! Over time, most athletes adopted and improved his technique that is since then prevalent in the high jump. For that reason, #DickFosbury is considered one of the most influential athletes of all times. What I find amazing is how he developed this revolutionary technique during his college years: he found lots of coaches advising him to jump “the orthodox way” and focusing on teaching him the straddle technique. He kept practising both ways, until the day that results made clear that he performed better using his own style. His coach Berny Wagner gave up trying to correct him and began helping him to refine his technique. The path to the Olympic gold medal was cleared and the biggest revolution in high jump had just started. Have a look: https://lnkd.in/e3mq3ADm What can we business coaches and executives learn from Dick Fosbury and his sport coaches? Do we have the courage to let our talents unleash their potential in the way they prefer, or do we force them to adopt “the established way”? Do we have the objectivity to assess performance and recognise when somebody has better results using a different approach and not doing as we are used to? Are we humble enough to let our beliefs aside and truly support them to refine their innovation? Performance, in sports and business, comes from hard work, autonomy and trust.

Saturday we jumped in the lake for the 2024 Vt Special Olympics Penguin Plunge at the Burlington waterfront. The lake was a chilly 37 degrees but these Frozen Fiduciaries were ready for it! The positivity and support that surrounds this event is infectious! #givingbacktothecommunity #penguinplunge #sovt #FamilyOffice #financialplanning #FinancialGrowth #FinancialManagement #Vermont #WealthManagement #FinancialAdvisor #FinancialAdvisors

It's been a busy time, and an exciting one, for our client Athletes.org (AO), a fast-growing players association for college athletes. Last month, University of Notre Dame invited AO to campus, where AO’s leadership talked with current ND athletes across several sports over a two-day window. They discussed the implications of the House v. NCAA settlement proposal and other issues related to the historic labor movement in college sports.   Then AO was mentioned in the House settlement proposal itself. The plaintiffs attorneys wrote:  "To assist in obtaining ongoing information from college athletes during the Injunctive Settlement Term...Class Counsel will call upon established college player advocacy organizations to provide input on the views of class members, including from Athletes.Org led by Jim Cavale...” On Friday, Jim Cavale appeared on SiriusXM to talk with Rick Neuheisel and Chris Childers about the House settlement, revenue sharing more broadly, AO’s meetings with Notre Dame players, and more.  The insightful interview begins at the 28:00 mark in the link below. #sportsbiz #sports #sportsindustry #sportsbusiness #media #news #journalism #NIL #labor #money #finance #economics #marketing #sportsmarketing #consulting #communications #linkedinsports #strategiccommunications #mediarelations #branding #collegesanduniversities #socialimpact #linkedin https://lnkd.in/g8N-d9B3

When you finish strong no matter what.

👀 Despite upper management's recent termination decision, Dan Monson still delivers! 💪 While we don't know what would have happened if he wasn't there; we do know what happened because he was!!! My take aways: 1. Sometimes we make rash decisions because of our emotions instead of our intellect. 2. Sometimes upper management gets it wrong. This will be an interesting to watch... #oops #danmonson #Resilience #managementmatters #managementmistakes #KeepPushingForward 🏀🚀
