This past week, I was able to watch Liam, our youngest, compete in a number of regional track and field events for his school region. He qualified after winning in the area trials and now was up against people from all over the Durham area of Ontario - with some who had already hit their growth spurts, were faster and who competed in clubs on a regular basis (Liam, like many kids there, only jumps on the track train when it shows up on the school calendar). As I watched the night trials, I noticed something. The kids always ran to the competition around them. If they were in a slow heat, those who won would WIN but they wouldn't dominate (Likely to save power for the BIG race, a bit of gamesmanship, etc). The faster ones were influenced by those around them and ran like them, which conversely caused the others to slow down too. Meanwhile if the leader set a powerful pace, it forced the others in their heat to really try - either to win or to qualify by time. The lesson I left with? Who we run alongside matters. Who we let influence us matters. If the ones in front of us and beside us jog when they should run, chances are, we'll follow their lead. In the same vein, we have that same influence on others around us too. Hard work hopefully inspires hard work from those around us. Q: Who's inspiring you to "run" your best today? (Below is Liam winning the grade 7 regionals in the short track hurdles...check out how fast these 12-13 boys run!!)

What are the Educational, Health, or Economic Benefits to these Players and their Families for that kids uncompensated participation in any additional “NON-SCHOLARSHIP” private third-party postseason football games that pay the Universities and the Conferences for the use of their free labor to put on these highly profitable Bowl events. The answer is ZERO! These additional 1-5 POSTSEASON games are also above the Players’ 12 game athletic scholarship agreement? Our Proposal offers Major Benefits in all three Categories to the Players and their Families! Scholarship Football Players are owed Hundreds of Millions of dollars from this year’s Media contract that uses these Players’ Name, Image, and Likeness NIL without any equitable financial consideration to the Players or their Families! This lost Money could have a major impact on these Players lives, the lives of their current and future family members for generations? We do not support, or agree with the House vs NCAA Settlement or the current covert attempts to extend and expand this Antitrust exploitation of our young (mostly minority) FB & BB Players' labor that the US Supreme Court and Federal District Court have recently struck down as illegal and implausible.

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

Have you heard about the Fosbury flop? It changed my perspective on innovation, I bet it will change yours too. The high jump is a competitive sport in which competitors attempt to clear a high bar without touching it. In the past, high jumpers used traditional techniques such as scissoring or jumping forward or sideways. But Dick Fosbury changed everything. He began experimenting with new ways to play the sport. In particular, he avoided the conventional forward or side-to-side front approaches. Instead, he considered an angled approach that resulted in a backbend as he moved backwards on the bar. Fosbury's method was initially criticised, with some comparing it to "airborne seizure" and "flopping fish in a boat". However, he used it to win gold and set a new record at the 1968 Olympics. The Fosbury Flop (as it's known) took the sport to the next level and is still used today 50 years later. Lesson: True innovation is often met with ridicule. Surviving this disbelief is the price of acceptance for someone who wants to change their status quo. #innovation

The college athletics landscape is continuing to change! I wanted to share what is happening right now...... The NCAA and Power 5 conferences have signed an agreement which paves the way for student-athletes to be paid through revenue sharing with each university. I thought this would have affected me as a former student-athlete. I'm interested to see what happens next over the coming months. Let me know your thoughts on these monumental changes in the comments ? ? #collegeathletics #studentathletes #ncaa #pac12 #big12 #bigten #acc #sec

Winning with Statistics by Example My aim here is to show the power of statistics or, as some may say, if you torture the data long enough, you will get the answer you want. With the J.P. Morgan run starting in London on Wednesday, I thought I would recall last year’s event where Capacitas entered a team. The traditional view of racing is that the person with the fastest time is the winner, and last year from team Capacitas, this was Adam O., completing in 25.71 minutes. I returned what I think is a respectable 35.28 minutes over the 5.6K. However, with statistics, I think we can have a different view of who won! As a general rule, the older you get, the less athletic you become. [You young folks, enjoy getting out of a chair without making a grunting noise while you still can!] Therefore, I think we should view the results in terms of age and running levels. Luckily, the internet provides some base data for 5K runs, which I have adjusted to 5.6K via simple extrapolation, as shown in the graphic. Data courtesy of Marathon Handbook So, let’s look at the so-called “winner” Adam, whose time is 25.71 minutes. I don’t think Adam is a novice in anything, so let’s compare his time against the average for his age group and intermediate running level. He was a little slower for his category, working out as (25.71-25.22)/25.22 = 1.94% slower than the average. As for me, who some may have noticed (if you look carefully), I am a little older. Even if I consider myself a novice (I trained a bit but not much), my 35.47 is (35.47-34.94)/34.94 = 1.51% slower than the average for my skill and age group. Hence, I am closer to the expected average for my age and skill and therefore, I beat Adam. So sorry Adam, you don’t win. Well, you did if you consider the old-fashioned, lazy approach of the first to cross the line malarkey! Obviously, if we are ever chased by a lion, I hope it adheres to my analytical approach. #jpmcc #capacitas #statistics

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

Was a pleasure to be asked by Alex Thurston, PhD to head back to Loughborough Uni today and share my story to date of working in the world of sport. Having graduated there in 2008 it was a nice full circle moment, hopefully the Sports Management students took something away from my journey so far.
