This week's 'Thursday's Thought' is one that I feel transcends purely a sporting record, and shines a light on true grit, determination, resilience, and belief. Attributes we can all learn from. Overnight Sir Mark Cavendish KBE (Cav) broke the long-standing record for the most Tour De France (TDF) stage wins (35), previously held by Eddy Merckx. Now this is not only a sporting 'win' but, when you begin to understand Cav's journey, one that has overcome more than most Athletes.. Cav won his first TDF stage back in 2008, and across his career has 165 professional wins, including World Championships on the Road and the Track. Alongside his wins, he has had to overcome two bouts of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), and numerous injuries that kept him from breaking this record. Now none of us are Cav, but why I chose this as my weekly post, is that in our own careers we are identified as being talented early in our pathway, just as Cav's early Coaches and Mentors saw such talent. The support of those around us, that can see our potential, is another parallel with Elite Athletes, and when times get tough, when we have set backs, like Athletes we double down and 'get back in the saddle' in our work. We may not ever stand on the top step of the dais, or wear the rainbow or green jersey, but once again we can all learn from Athletes like Cav and try to get to the line first, in our own race; with grit, determination, resilience, and belief. Chapeau Cav, chapeau. #athletewellbeingandengagement #grit #determination #resilience #belief #careers #careerdevelopment #support #talentidentification #eliteperformence

Great talk, thank so much, Robin Matthews 🙌🤩 Tracing your journey and offering tips/advice that you’ve learned along the way was invaluable knowledge for the cohort. My key take home points from your talk for the students to consider in their early careers were: don’t settle for being average, always strive to do the best job possible; don’t shy away from the crappy roles/tasks; create and utilise contacts at every opportunity; and don’t be afraid to fail - you have to put yourself in a position to learn…and sometimes the best learnings come from errors. Now, where’s my memory card? 🙈😅 #efl #sportmanagement
