This is an iconic deal in the landscape of English cricket and possibly world cricket. GMR Group and Hampshire County Cricket Club and its assets, currently owned by Rod Bransgrove, have agreed to an aquistion! Rod has been such a huge contributor to the game in the UK. I personally think this deal will be the catalyst to opening the gates to further Indian investment into English cricket (not new news) which points towards a bigger holistic future of players being centrally contracted by franchises (not countries). There will be mixed views on this deal and the the future of state of world cricket. https://lnkd.in/gFKvGPsN

I’ve had multiple discussions with Premier League and EFL clubs recently, and one recurring topic is the need to address certain cultural aspects to better align with performance. One major issue that’s come up is the increasing use of Snus. A joint study by Loughborough University and the PFA found that: * 18% of surveyed male players and 22% of female players currently use Snus or nicotine pouches. * 42% of male and 39% of female respondents have used it at least once. * Over 50% of male users want to quit. * More than half of male users and nearly 75% of female users reported nicotine dependence. Snus, a smokeless tobacco product from Sweden, is becoming popular among footballers. Unlike smoking, Snus is placed under the upper lip, delivering nicotine without inhaling smoke. However, this trend raises serious concerns about health and performance. Impact on Sleep and Recovery Nicotine, the active compound in Snus, is a potent stimulant that can interfere with sleep, increasing the time it takes to fall asleep and reducing overall sleep duration. It disrupts sleep architecture, leading to less restorative deep sleep, which is crucial for recovery and optimal performance. Poor sleep quality can impair reaction times, decision-making, and physical endurance, leading to a decline in performance and an increased risk of injury. Dependence and Withdrawal Regular Snus use can lead to nicotine dependence, with withdrawal symptoms like irritability, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating, which further disrupts sleep and performance. This cycle can also affect a player's mental health, adding complexity to their overall well-being. Cardiovascular Concerns Nicotine increases heart rate and blood pressure, which can stress the heart, especially during intense physical activity, and contribute to long-term health risks, including cardiovascular disease. Despite these growing concerns, there seems to be a reluctance to question and address this cultural trend, even as its prevalence rises. This is an issue that needs to be tackled with the urgency it deserves to protect the health and performance of our athletes.

Fhitting Room has closed 3 clubs, citing “aggressive third-party” booking companies - with ClassPass being the main player in this category Very sad to see this as Fhitting Room was one of my favourite New York brands 😞 Their Flatiron club scored five stars in The Fit Guide's evaluation process and we had some great conversations with the team there Like us, they were enthusiastic and excited about the fitness industry learning from hospitality Their team even recommended Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara which became one of my fav business reads! Conditions have certainly been tough in New York... The city got absolutely battered during closures Landlords were notoriously tough And our friends on the ground have said that some New Yorkers' habits had permanently shifted Fhitting Room keeps its Upper West Side studio, so do check them out if you're in New York! 💪🏼 This presents an important question... As the industry evolves, what role is ClassPass playing in the industry? Is their presence, along with other third-party booking companies such as Wellhub, having a positive or negative effect on the industry and your business? I did a podcast on this a while ago. As the industry evolves and shifts, it's a crucial conversation to keep having. Source: Athletech News #thefitguide #fhittingroom #classpass #fitnessindustry #newyork

GOLF PRO GETS CONFIDENCE AND ENERGY BACK "I’m a golf pro and during lockdown, I was putting weight on, felt bloated, lethargic and energy was low. I realised I needed to do something to prevent losing control of my health, fitness and self-esteem. Following a discovery call which involved understanding my challenges and goals and how she could help me, I enrolled with Sheila's 3 month programme. Sheila guided me through the assessment and the structured stages were monitored via specific applications on my phone and tablet. Weekly coaching calls kept me accountable and on track. Working with Sheila changed the way I look at my food and lifestyle choices, how important small amounts of movement and strength training are and recognising what choices I make will sabotage my success in health, mindset, fitness, work and personal life. These lifechanging habits are easy and sustainable. I am delighted to report that I reduced my weight by 14 lbs, feel and look so much better in my clothing, mental clarity has improved, and confidence has returned. I now feel that I also have the energy to work those longer hours." Do you need your mojo back, golfing, boardroom or otherwise? Message me for a complimentary and confidential call to discuss how I can matchmake you with the future version of yourself and helping you get there 💪 #golf #mindset #energy #focus #win #matchmaker

Is there a sport more brutal psychologically than golf? Is this why it's so popular amongst the business fraternity? Such a shame for Rory McIlroy to miss 2 short puts when leading the US Open, however every club🏌️‍♂️ would sympathise. What gets me about Golf is about once a round I'll hit a shot and think 'a professional couldn't have got a better outcome than that' The separating issue between the pros and club golfers is the level of 'consistency'. Over time the high level golfer develops consistency and then layers on top of that a powerful self belief and mindset. These are similar skills that you need to develop to be lean Maybe once a week you'll eat a meal and think... 'a nutritionist couldn't have eaten a better meal than that' and then the very next meal you shank your drive off the tea with a full tub of ice cream. To be lean you need to work on the mental side of the equation too. Believe that you are capable of being lean and having firm abs. Believe that you can live without blood pressure and diabetes medications. Believe that a couple of misguided meals is not going to define you as a person. Are you going to make a comeback or continue missing short puts for the rest of your life until your body gives up on you? Rory will be hurting, he will be grieving. I believe he will be back and he will win another major. What are you going to do?

Golfers, if you've ever wondered why your game dips halfway through a round, Professor Graeme Close has some insights that could significantly improve your performance. 🏌️‍♂️💡 His recent advice revolves around a structured approach to nutrition, focusing on strategic eating times and hydration management critical for maintaining peak functionality on the course. Having implemented these strategies with professional golfers, Close underscores organized nutrition using a straightforward 4-10-14 technique. This involves planned carb and protein intake at strategic points of the game, ensuring sustained energy and focus. Also, with hydration being a key player, he suggests regular intake of water enhanced with electrolytes on warmer days to prevent performance-detrimental dehydration. 🤔 Ever found yourself losing concentration by the back nine? It might just be a nutrition or hydration gap rather than skill! Curious to hear from fellow golf enthusiasts have you tried structured nutrition on the course? What’s been your takeaway? Does hydration significantly impact your performance as well? For those experimenting or looking to adapt these methods, ensuring you have an effective nutritional game plan is as crucial as the technical skills in your swing. Because, at the end of the day, optimal performance is achieved not just by practice but also proper fueling. #GolfNutrition #SportsPerformance #Hydration #AthleteNutrition #GolfTips 🌟

Padel is growing and we have a realistic ambition to lead its growth in the UK. There are two strands to our model: 1 - Outdoor canopied sites enjoy lower costs. Rent is dramatically lower, and even after adjusting for the cost of adding canopies our 'all in' annual cost is low enough to give us a significant profit advantage over 'indoor' courts. 2 - Good coaching ensures that new players get the bug. Almost everyone who gets on a padel court has fun. But to get players hooked it is critical to invest in the support to turn an enthusiastic newbie into a regular player. Our investment in outstanding coaching allows us to build a stronger business. We have a model that works and a pipeline that is ready to build out. Come and join us on Crowdcube as we accelerate on our journey. Crowdcube Jacob Symes Daniel Sparkes Jessica Windsor Carson Russell
