Athletes need to feel supported and protected when speaking up. This requires systems change, a cultural change in the daily training environment so that they can feel safe and supported to speak. But in addition, to get to this place we need to support and educate our coaches to know how to create these health promoting and safe environments for their athletes. We also need to equip coaches with the skills, capabilities and confidence to speak up when they are unsure or need further guidance when managing athlete health and wellbeing issues in sport. I do not believe bad behavior is ever acceptable - but I know for the most, our coaches want to do the right thing but are just not equipped with the necessary understanding, knowledge, skills and capabilities. 2024; a cultural revolution in sport.

Last month, the 2024 Olympics showcased more than just athletic talent - it's a goldmine of leadership potential! Team USA secured 126 medals this year, with 257 athletes contributing to the total, as reported by the USOPC. Out of the approximately 10,500 athletes who participated in 48 sports disciplines across the Games, the U.S. competed in all but one and earned medals in 34 of the disciplines it entered. As we watch the next generation of sports icons rise, it's clear that the drive, strategy, and resilience on display in Paris will shape the future of executive leadership in the US sports industry. 🥇 Let’s also recognize the ongoing Paralympics, where athletes continue to inspire as the Games conclude this September.

Gender Diversity taking yet another setback in women sport at the Olympics. 🔙 International Olympic Committee Was Warned About Male Boxers, World Boxing Organization Vice President Says. Speaking to Reduxx, Marshi Smith, the co-founder of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, condemned the IOC after reviewing the shocking revelations made by Kovács. “The cover-up and championing of male athletes in women’s Olympic sports is the greatest sports scandal of our lifetime,” Smith said. The Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) is a non-partisan network and advocacy group comprised of current and former collegiate and professional women athletes. The boxing match yesterday between Hungarys Anna Luca Hámori and Algerian Imane Khelif was a non elegant fight where Khelif would turn the match into a strange wrestling thing by grabbing Hámoria by her neck and force her down on the floor 4 times. Even that Hámoria was warned by going ahead with her Olympic match against Khelif she bravely fought for her big dream but only by beating a male boxer. It was, in all ways, a disgraceful boxing match. Equal Playing Fields 👭 . Reading about how many years women have fought being able to participate in sport and experiences the latest new time how more and more sports branches including women is great equal improvement. But reading about the first historian setback in the 1930s for not including women the argument then was; women's health 🙈. Another interesting read is that the Olympic committee back then was the last to approve women participating in the Olympics games. So now we are all waiting for the Olympics committee president Thomas Bach to argue for why they allow men competing against women. They can certainly not use, because of women health and security!!!! Historically the representation of women in the Olympic Committee run behind the rate of its target of presence of women. Time for the Olympic committee to change your own game 👊 👊 #Lagertha #DEI #equalplayingfields #womeninsport #womenhealth #womenmensportteams #fairmatch #keepsportfunandbeautiful #ESG #longevity #genderdiversitygoingmad https://lnkd.in/dpkBxWWE

Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail. As the Olympics draw to a close, it’s disheartening to see our country come away without a single medal. This outcome is a stark reminder that without strategic planning, success remains elusive. We must do better and prioritize the right investments in our athletes and sports infrastructure. The question remains: who’s truly listening? #Paris2024 #SportsLeadership #Olympics #StrategicPlanning #AthleteSupport #TeamNigeria #PlanForSuccess #FutureOfSports #Accountability #SportsDevelopment #LeadershipMatters

𝘊𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘷𝘴. 𝘌𝘯𝘥 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 In the ongoing Paris Olympics, I am hearing two viewpoints in discussion with colleagues and friends: 𝗣𝗢𝗩 𝟭: Entering semi-finals for the first time and beating a high seed player is commendable and we must celebrate that. The player deserves an accolade. 𝗣𝗢𝗩 𝟮: I think we are celebrating too early and should not settle for anything lesser than a podium finish before we start acknowledging the achievement with all pomp and show. 𝗠𝘆 𝗣𝗢𝗩: Celebrating milestones and progress is important and has a definite purpose to energize the morale and provide a tailwind for bigger achievements. However, it is equally important to delicately balance that with a reminder of the ultimate goal to prevent any complacency to seep in. There are clear examples of individuals and teams who are able to step up their game on the big day and crucial moments. We have seen Australia do this consistently in Cricket. We have seen Djokovic do this consistently in Tennis. What do you think sets them apart? I believe it’s about taking milestones & progress in the stride, seeing them as momentary successes and at no point loosing sight of the ultimate goal. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗢𝗩? I am eager to hear your thoughts on this. So do share whether big celebrations on achieving these milestones is justified or do you think we are celebrating too early and should wait for the end outcomes? 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 👇 #parisolympics #olympics2024 #dilemma #success #celebration
