Transformative Benefits of Sports for Employers

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 05:44:02 GMT

Incorporating sports into your routine might seem like a way to stay fit, but it offers much more than physical benefits. Sports can profoundly impact your professional life, from enhancing teamwork and communication to building resilience and motivation. Whether leading a team or working as part of one, understanding how sports can improve your work environment and personal effectiveness can provide a significant edge in today’s competitive landscape.

Creating a Positive Work Environment:

Engaging in sports has long been a powerful way to unite individuals around a shared interest. Events like the AFL provide opportunities for people to bond over a common passion. This shared experience can translate into the workplace, strengthen relationships among staff and foster a more cohesive and effective team. Additionally, participating in diverse sporting events helps develop a broader skill set and enhances communication with various clients and colleagues.

Building Essential Psychological Attributes:

Sports inherently involve a psychological dimension that can greatly benefit workplace performance. By developing attributes such as competitiveness, discipline, and problem-solving, leading to increased profitability and innovative solutions. These qualities are invaluable in navigating today’s fast-paced business environment.

Mastering Communication and Teamwork:

Effective communication is crucial in both personal and professional fields. Sports teach individuals how to build relationships, establish trust and offer constructive feedback, all of which contribute to better team dynamics and performance. Sharpening these skills in a sporting context translates seamlessly into a more productive and communicative workplace.

Thriving Under Pressure & Embracing Feedback:

Sports also teach valuable lessons in handling pressure. Athletes often harness stress as a motivation to elevate their performance, adopting a positive mindset that can alleviate anxiety and boost confidence. Furthermore, the practice of actively seeking and giving feedback is crucial for continuous improvement and development, both within sports and the workplace.

Incorporating Sports into the Workplace:

While the health benefits of sports are well recognised, their broader impact on daily life is equally significant. Regular physical activity boosts energy levels and productivity by releasing endorphins that enhance mood and reduce stress. This heightened well-being translates into improved focus and efficiency in professional tasks. Moreover, incorporating sports and wellness programs into the workplace can attract top talent and improve employee retention due to the organisations care and value of their health and wellbeing.

Integrating sports into your routine can lead to substantial personal and professional growth. By enhancing teamwork, communication, and resilience, sports contribute to a more motivated and effect work environment. Prioritising sports and wellness programs not only promote a healthier workforce but also provides a competitive edge in attracting and retaining talent.

Make the most of the season by following these simple guidelines

wow@shazamme.com (Default Author) — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 08:21:48 GMT

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.

Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.

Keep in touch with site visitors and boost loyalty

wow@shazamme.com (Default Author) — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 08:21:48 GMT

There are so many good reasons to communicate with site visitors. Tell them about sales and new products or update them with tips and information.

Here are some reasons to make blogging part of your regular routine.

Blogging is an easy way to engage with site visitors

Writing a blog post is easy once you get the hang of it. Posts don’t need to be long or complicated. Just write about what you know, and do your best to write well.

Show customers your personality

When you write a blog post, you can really let your personality shine through. This can be a great tool for showing your distinct personality.

Blogging is a terrific form of communication

Blogs are a great communication tool. They tend to be longer than social media posts, which gives you plenty of space for sharing insights, handy tips and more.

It’s a great way to support and boost SEO

Search engines like sites that regularly post fresh content, and a blog is a great way of doing this. With relevant metadata for every post so search engines can find your content.

Drive traffic to your site

Every time you add a new post, people who have subscribed to it will have a reason to come back to your site. If the post is a good read, they’ll share it with others, bringing even more traffic!

Blogging is free

Maintaining a blog on your site is absolutely free. You can hire bloggers if you like or assign regularly blogging tasks to everyone in your company.

A natural way to build your brand

A blog is a wonderful way to build your brand’s distinct voice. Write about issues that are related to your industry and your customers.

Tips for writing great posts that increase your site traffic

wow@shazamme.com (Default Author) — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 08:21:48 GMT

Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.

Speak to your audience

You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about

Take a few moments to plan your post

Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.

Don’t forget to add images

Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.

Edit carefully before posting

Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.

Burt also recently completed a Beyond the Boundary placement with West Coast Fever and seasoned strength and conditioning professional Erin Haff. Here’s what Burt had to say about his time on placement.

‘This is my second Beyond the Boundary program I have participated in. The reason I chose to participate in it again was the simple fact the first time was such a great experience and benefited me greatly in my personal development in the Strength and Conditioning field.

Erin’s professionalism and guidance in making this happen is testament to her passion for helping players better themselves and make the transition into another career outside of Professional Sport a breeze. My placement was with West Coast Fever (Netball), I worked alongside Erin Haff, which was a great experience and one that I tried to make the most of every opportunity to gain as much knowledge and tips during my stay. It was also great to see female professional sport and see how netball players prepare week in week out. I would like to thank all the girls at West Coast Fever and Erin Haff for having me, I learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

Once again, thank you to Erin Devlin for the great work and making it happen and to everyone at Infront Sports for allowing professional athletes the opportunity to further our development and pursue a career outside of our sport.

Cheers,

Burt Cockley

Owner of Cockley Performance Systems.’

Goalball an eye-opener for QLD Fire Cricketers

Fri, 03 Oct 2014 06:48:00 GMT

The sixteen Fire cricketers were blindfolded and had to communicate with their teammates through listening, speaking, tapping and finding other ways to indicate where they were on the court.

The placement was an initiative of Dee Kimmince, a Queensland Fire player, who is currently completing an Australian Cricketers’ Association Beyond the Boundary placement, supported by Infront Sports. Her placement is with Sporting Wheelies and Disabled Association and she has been working with elite athletes on fitness and skills training. Dee has been guided by Sports Development Coordinator Ben MacFie, who is also a national representative goalball player. She thought getting the Queensland Fire team involved would be a great team building exercise and an opportunity for players to challenge their physical awareness and skills.

“We can take a lot out of goalball as a team. The simple things like trust, communication and encouragement are three important qualities needed to be a successful team’, said Dee.

AFL Coaches – A Balancing Act for The Chosen Few

Tue, 30 Sep 2014 08:25:00 GMT

If you were one of the captivated audience members watching filmmaker Peter Dickson’s extraordinary documentary last Friday night, ‘The Chosen Few’ you will have gained a unique insight into the lives of senior AFL coaches. Aired on the the Seven Network, Dickson was given unprecedented access to lives of coaches including Brad Scott, Ken Hinkley, Brenton Sanderson, Guy McKenna, Nathan Buckley and almost every current AFL senior coach. It also featured some past senior coaches including Scott Watters, John Worsfold, Michael Voss, and insights from great coaching legends including Denis Pagan, Ron Barassi, David Parkin, Leigh Matthews and John Kennedy snr.

Apart from providing greater insight into the unique qualities and personalities of senior AFL coaches, the documentary also touched on a key area affecting the lives of all AFL coaches, whether employed at assistant or senior level – work/life balance.

Work/Life balance is a foreign concept for many AFL coaches. Often coaches ask their players to look after themselves, rest, get enough sleep, spend time with family, take some time away from the club, but rarely do they afford themselves the same luxury. It was little surprise to us then that at the AFL Coaches Association Conference last week, where Infront presented, that AFL Coaches cited ‘work/life balance’ as the single most important factor for job satisfaction, when selecting their next job opportunity.

The concept of work/life balance was extended to whether the culture of the club was supportive of coaches’ health and respectful of time with family. It also focussed on the leadership of the senior coach and whether they set positive expectations with regards to work/life balance. Some coaches spoke of club cultures that required matches to be meticulously reviewed between finishing a Saturday night game and arriving at the club early on Monday morning – the sort of schedule that makes a Sunday family dinner very difficult to achieve. Some spoke of senior coaches who were disciplined in their approach to hours at the club and led by example, as well as those who subscribed to the theory that fresh heads can contribute more than weary souls.

There is no doubt that the passion AFL coaches have for their sport drives this work ethic and desire to be immersed in the game. Their dedication and discipline is second to none. So too does the competitive nature of obtaining an AFL coaching job and the desire to remain employed in one in the long term. But do longer hours equal more effective work? Or can a better work/life balance for all AFL coaches lead to more sustainable, fulfilling and healthy careers?

Infront Sports Consulting has worked with AFL coaches to prepare for and achieve successful career transition within sport and outside of sport since 2010.

A Big Week in AFL

Last week, Infront CEO, Erin Devlin presented at the AFLCA Coaches conference, focussing on career development in a competitive environment. During the session Erin worked with coaches to identify key factors influencing job satisfaction and provided techniques for creating competitive advantage when pitching for coaching and non-coaching positions. Next week we’ll reveal the top job satisfaction factors for AFL Coaches, as voted by them.

On match days I’ve been doing live updates for fans on Twitter – every time a Manly player breaks a line, knocks a ball on, or scores a try, I’ll do an update.

Self Confessed Golf Fan Luke Butterworth Improves His Game at Titleist

Mon, 11 Aug 2014 04:05:00 GMT

Talented Tasmanian Tigers all-rounder, Luke Butterworth, was in golf heaven recently, undertaking a Beyond the Boundary placement with Acushnet Company. Acushnet, known for its world famous Titliest and Foot Joy brands, were the perfect hosts, giving Luke an insight into sales, marketing, operations, production, golf fitting, and customer service.

Beyond the Boundary provides professional cricketers, like Luke, with the opportunity to experience a career or work environment outside of sport, and help plan for the future. Luke’s placement, coordinated by Infront Sports, on behalf of the Australian Cricketers’ Association, was a great opportunity for Luke.

“Having a part in all aspects of the company gave me a bit of an insight into what I really enjoyed and what I won’t pursue later on. However, there were many things that I was interested in, here at Acushnet.” Butterworth said, “They have been great and have given me a taste of all aspects of the company.”

Ian Holland Keeps Track of Melbourne Storm Players

Thu, 07 Aug 2014 01:29:00 GMT

Victorian Bushrangers fast bowler Ian Holland recently completed a Beyond the Boundary placement with Melbourne Storm in the team’s sport science department.

“Being able to apply this experience at the Storm with what I learned at University, in terms of stats, gps tracking and the monitoring of athletes, was hugely valuable”, says Holland. “It has been great to apply all of my learning in a real world setting.”

The placement, coordinated by Infront Sports, gave Ian the opportunity to work closely with industry leading sport science specialist Anita Sirotic and her team.

“It is very impressive what the players can lift in the gym. Their leg strength is ridiculous. One of the first days I was here, one of the boys was squatting 230 kg’s.”

Young Sport Management Professionals get in the know with Dylan Alcott, Oakley, AFL Media, Sportspeople and Infront Sports

Tue, 17 Jun 2014 01:11:00 GMT

Gold Medalist, Dylan Alcott inspired us all, urging others with a disability to get out and play sport. The champion basketballer turned tennis-pro was fresh from his interview with Triple J, signalling another step forward in his budding media career.

Robert McMurtrie, Sportspeople

Infront CEO, Erin Devlin , was asked about the qualities of robust player development programs and why tactile, experiential work placement programs like the Athlete Futures Program have been so successful. Erin highlighted the immense talent and transferable skills that athletes have – drive, motivation, discipline, focus, resilience, passion, team focus and ability to improve through feedback – all critical skills required within the corporate world.

Sportspeople MD, Robert McMurtrie, brought us the latest sport industry job seeker data, from the sportspeople.com.au site which attracted 2.7 million hits last year alone. He urged sport management graduates to develop technical skills such as HTML or web development skills, or in other technical areas currently in demand in sports.

Ben Nancarrow, Oakley

Sport Sales Manager, Ben Nancarrow , was asked ‘when does athlete talent become marketable for Oakley?’. Ben talked about the importance of developing the whole athlete as a person first. He also highlighted the critical importance of culture fit, not only for athletes, but when choosing where you might work – something he is pleased to enjoy, finding a great synergy himself at Oakley.

Craig Roberts, Head of Strategy at AFL Media , explained that fans want to know about injuries as much as whether their team wins or not, and the skill is to weave the right messages throughout. He reiterated Robert McMurtrie’s points in regards to technical skill in the sport industry and that AFL Media wants the best people from all areas of the corporate world, not just from sport.

It was a great chance to connect with like minded people in the sports industry. Look forward to seeing you at the next YSMP Event.
