London Sport’s Post

Do you believe in participation trophies? While I understand the arguments that participation ribbons and trophies provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation, I feel giving a trophy simply for participating undermine the value of competition and hard work. I mean, doesn’t a trophy merely for participating (aka minimal effort) essentially foster a sense of entitlement? I also wonder how this participation trophy-for-everyone approach might impact us later as adults… I’m curious – what are your thoughts on participation trophies? What is your approach when it comes to recognition and rewards for your employees or even your kids? Share below! #recognition #participationawards

The struggle of a good print ad that capture attention and delivers the message is real. In times when campaigns have become digital first, the efforts and thinking being put behind traditional advertising is somewhat lost, we see adaptations rather than original thinking for the medium itself. Hence, my liking for the below series is special…… well done team Schbang #ad #print #marketing

This is one of many things that a new Labour government will need to deal with quickly, it may not be top of the list like the issues with the NHS, the education system, the criminal justice system, and the transport network (among others), but it is something that is of vital importance for maintaining social cohesion throughout the country. The new Independent Football Regulator MUST be properly independent of government, and the fundamental flaw at s37(2) of the Football Governance Bill must be removed in its entirety, and a prohibition on sovereign wealth funds and nation states owning clubs must be introduced in its place. The regulator must be a regulator for ALL clubs throughout the professional club, and not one that represents only the interests of those at the top, and help restore greater fairness, equity, and meritocracy to this great game of ours, because it is ours after all...

Road To LEGACY

In this video, filmed in November 2023 , I was at an event organised by VES, which is the Association of Quality Clubs in the Netherlands. I was delivering a presentation on staff retention but at the point in this clip I'm talking about what I call generational clubs. And the question I was asking was have we been around long enough now where there are different types of clubs that different generations are attracted to, as opposed to what's closest or what's cheapest?
