Deeds not words

90% of people who completed our survey said that their business held fantasy sport competitions for men's sport but not for the women. Let's change that. The Guinness Women's Six Nations kicks-off THIS weekend and we've been thinking... what's the best way to get people involved and immersed with the tournament this year?   Our answer... we've set up a Six Nations Fantasy Rugby League powered by Energia so YOU can get more invested, learn about the players and invite your friends, family and colleagues to get invovled too! Not to mention there will be weekly prizes to be won which include match tickets and much more!   We do it for men's sport... so why not the women's too? Interestingly enough, we surveyed our audience around the concept of Fantasy Leagues and it was highlighted that the majority of businesses tend to participate in the men's versions of these but very few do the same for the women.

Having access to a product that simplified our performance and medical reporting while simultaneously managing numerous data streams ensured our decision-making was efficient and time-effective. This is crucial in a tournament-style competition. The best part of a product like Lumin Sports where the aim is primarily to maximise an athlete's performance in competition. It also saves time which enables you to use that time for critical factors such as building trust and relationships with the players as individuals. #luminsports

REFEREES INSIGHT || Read Mick Colliss’ post and watch the poem. One thing we need to change in all sports - stop abusing and blaming the brave people who make our game happen. If you are a coach or parent think about this, every time you blame a referee or complain about it you stop your team or kids opportunity to think about what they can improve, how they could make different decisions next time - the moment you blame the ref the learning for your team or kid is over >>> you’ve given them an excuse If someone is into a ref stand up and disagree, ask them to stop. We need to be better #refereeAbuse #rugbyrefs
