Salary caps and Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations significantly impact a sporting director's job in several ways: Transfer Market Strategies. Focus on Value: Salary caps and FFP limit spending on players. Sporting directors need to become more creative and identify undervalued talent or players approaching the end of their contracts with high wages at other clubs. Negotiations become even more crucial to secure top talent within the financial constraints. Squad Development: Investing in youth academies and promoting homegrown talent becomes a more attractive option. Sporting directors need to prioritize developing young players who can contribute to the first team while remaining cost-effective. Loan Market: Loan deals with buy options or player swaps become more strategic tools for acquiring talent without significant upfront costs. Sporting directors need to be skilled negotiators to find win-win loan agreements that benefit their team.

*SPORTS AND FANDOM* FAN originates from the term FANATIC and is defined as: a person characterized by excessive and unwavering enthusiasm, particularly for an extreme religious or political cause, such as "religious fanatics." In the case of Sports the enthusiasm and passion evident are shown when athletes or teams succeed or face setbacks. The emotional spectrum, from tears of joy or sadness to sheer delight or anger, covers a wide range of human feelings. The significance of the definition of the word FANATIC in sports is crucial, and sports disciplines and governing bodies should prioritize converting casual viewers into dedicated FANS for several reasons: • Fans are vital to sports, similar to how buying customers are essential for retail stores. • They purchase tickets for live events and boost TV viewership, encouraging broadcasters to invest in media rights. • Media houses then attract advertisers looking to reach a large audience during broadcasts, helping them recover costs and generate profits from the media rights they acquired. Evidently, monetizing sports is intricate in building a loyal fan base and that requires continuous effort to provide an exceptional product that captivates and retains fans over time. This process involves innovation to attract new fans while retaining existing ones. For sports struggling with revenue generation, focus on cultivating a dedicated fan base willing to invest in your offerings, ie: Ticketing, PayPerView and Merchandise purchase etc, rather than just the quantity of fans. Progress in Fan Engagement and Retention requires continuous evolution and adaptation to meet the ever-changing demands of the world and discriminating taste of the Sports Fan of the 21st Century. Wishing you a fantastic Friday as we strive to understand an evolving sports landscape which like the Tech sector of the late 90's and this early part of the 21st Century will soon relegate a number of sports disciplines and legacy events to the dustbin of history. #fanengagement #fanatics #lesliekoroma #asvg #africasportsventuresgroup #africasportsreportpodcast #SportsBusiness #21stcenturysportsfans #africansportsmonthly #Olympics #athletics By Leslie Koroma Sr [email protected]

When you grow up playing street football the things you learn in the cage, on the road, in the park and on the pavement cannot be taught by any coach- at any level. It is the single reason elite talent mostly comes from urban areas and the suburbs of ‘Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and London’. Anyone who manages to get in not from those places is given a helping hand or they are on merit just the best of their generation from the likes of ‘Cambridge, Hastings, Folkestone and Cornwall. It still is “10,000 hours” before you can compete at elite level. There are lots of players floating around in cuckoo land having not yet completed even 3-5,000 hours of consistent development in their life believing they are a even level or 3 above the level they are and football owes them something. It is “3.84 hours of coaching per day, 5 days per week” is what you need to achieve 10,000 hours within ten years. 👀 “It is 4.44 hours per day coaching based on 5 days per week, 45 weeks per year over ten years” to achieve 10k hours. 🥳 Meanwhile the kid in the cage and the guy playing semi-professional week in week out in the Top 8 Levels is miles ahead in terms of the what he can offer, game experience, development, mentality and emotional maturity. The game is real and will show you no love if you don’t love it correctly and on that note hats off to any players not lying to themselves - attempting to sell an undeveloped, untested craft. 👀 Go and get as much experience as you can to give yourself a fighting chance of earning a professional contract OR just play local football, go to university and create a real life in the real world MP 📲 www.proethicalsport.com #MP5💫 #project2034⚽️ #pesfootballgroup #maximumpotential #realballgamepodcast

Sports event organizers often face challenges from coaches, which can impact the planning and execution of events. 1. **Non-compliance with Rules**: Coaches may sometimes not adhere to the specific regulations and rules of the event, whether it's about player eligibility, game rules, or equipment standards. This can create disputes or delays. 2. **Scheduling Conflicts**: Coaches often have specific preferences or requirements for game schedules to accommodate training routines or travel plans, which can conflict with the event's logistics and other teams' schedules. 3. **Communication Issues**: Miscommunications between coaches and organizers about event details, updates, or changes can lead to misunderstandings and logistical nightmares. 4. **Behavioral Issues**: Coaches can be very passionate and sometimes this passion spills over into aggressive or inappropriate behavior, whether towards referees, opponents, or even their own players, potentially disrupting the event. 5. **Safety Concerns**: Coaches may push back on decisions related to player health and safety if they believe it could negatively affect their team's competitive advantage. 6. **Resource Demands**: Coaches might request additional resources, such as specific facilities, equipment, or scheduling accommodations, which can be difficult for organizers to fulfill while managing equity among all participants. 7. **Interference in Event Operations**: Some coaches may try to influence or interfere with event operations beyond their remit, such as the layout of the competition area or the scheduling of officials.

⚽ What should FIFA do with a reported $2 billion investment? ⚽ With a reported $2 billion investment, FIFA has the opportunity to achieve several impactful goals: 1. Offset Initial Costs: Alleviate financial commitments and returns to key stakeholders. 2. Retain Premium Rights: Hold onto more premium rights to establish FIFA's value in the sports media attention economy. 3. Upgrade Technology: Enhance the tech stack following the initial launch process. 4. Create a Year-Round Destination: Transform FIFA+ into a 365-day destination for football fans. However, where FIFA could see the most significant impact is by investing in a fully-fledged network or studio dedicated to delivering an unparalleled amount of non-live content to its stakeholders and key platform/broadcast partners worldwide. Imagine a FIFA media division that focuses on non-live content, offering rich storytelling that resonates on local, regional, and global levels. This approach mirrors the success of NFL Media and Box To Box Films, which have transformed sports narratives across various genres and regions. By adopting a similar strategy, FIFA can revolutionize how football stories are told, making them more accessible and engaging for fans worldwide, 365 days a year. The potential here is enormous. A non-live storytelling machine, tailored to create and deliver targeted content, could not only enrich the fan relationship but also open new revenue streams. This content could be commercialized through FIFA’s own channels or by selling rights to major streaming platforms like Netflix, bringing football stories to a broader audience. The question remains whether this vision aligns with FIFA’s strategic play. However, the opportunity to elevate football content to a truly global scale, providing real value back to its key national partners and football fans, is too significant to overlook. #streaming #sportsbiz

File this under "Failing Fast". Golf is said to be "a game of misses." In product management, we fail more than we succeed—it's just the nature of learning. And we want to learn fast and cheap. In golf, everything is hyper-accelerated. We are best served doing retrospectives in seconds or minutes, instead of hours or days or weeks. Decide what we've learned, what to practice in the future for similar situations, assess our current situation, and then crack on fresh. Leave the emotion and ego behind. It is easier to say than do in either the golf or product management context. Thus, the "always better, never best" mindset. The "fairway bunker" miss is often dreaded in golf. For soooo many reasons, most of which relate to "lost opportunity". I almost look forward to them. Almost. 😅 It doesn't always work out... and yet leaning into it as an opportunity versus a curse is no doubt an optimal mindset. Just like #fails in product development! 😎
