If anyone is thinking of taking up a sporting challenge in the New Year, this article written on how Leadership principles can be applied in sport may be of interest to you. Based on the Ironman Swansea 70.3 in July 2023, Tony explains how having a Clear and Compelling Purpose is key to staying on track. He employed the same principles for this year's Ironman Bolton 70.3 and, assisted by some better weather, completed the event almost 45 minutes quicker. https://lnkd.in/eD5U_p2w
