Dick Fosbury and the most successful flop of all times What a privilege to be in Paris during these phenomenal #JOPARIS2024! While attending an athletics event in the #StadedeFrance, I reflect on the legacy of #DickFosbury (1947-2023) and his gold medal in the high jump in Mexico 1968 Olympic games. Fosbury pioneered a revolutionary technique of high jump that allowed him to win the gold medal and that was totally different from the prevalent straddle technique of that time. At start, it was ironically called “the Fosbury flop” looking at the way he landed on his back, but it was all but a flop! Over time, most athletes adopted and improved his technique that is since then prevalent in the high jump. For that reason, #DickFosbury is considered one of the most influential athletes of all times. What I find amazing is how he developed this revolutionary technique during his college years: he found lots of coaches advising him to jump “the orthodox way” and focusing on teaching him the straddle technique. He kept practising both ways, until the day that results made clear that he performed better using his own style. His coach Berny Wagner gave up trying to correct him and began helping him to refine his technique. The path to the Olympic gold medal was cleared and the biggest revolution in high jump had just started. Have a look: https://lnkd.in/e3mq3ADm What can we business coaches and executives learn from Dick Fosbury and his sport coaches? Do we have the courage to let our talents unleash their potential in the way they prefer, or do we force them to adopt “the established way”? Do we have the objectivity to assess performance and recognise when somebody has better results using a different approach and not doing as we are used to? Are we humble enough to let our beliefs aside and truly support them to refine their innovation? Performance, in sports and business, comes from hard work, autonomy and trust.

Business Manager | Ford & Stanley Recruitment - Rail Engineering & General Manufacturing
Looking forward to Royal Shrovetide 2024 with our invited Ford & Stanley guests and hosts next week! For those unfamiliar with the event, it takes place in Ashbourne, Derbyshire annually every Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. Four facts for those unfamiliar with Shrovetide: 1) Ancient roots: Shrovetide has stood the test of time, tracing its origins to medieval times. 2) Unconventional format: Forget about goalposts and boundaries – in Ashbourne, the entire town transforms into a playground! With minimal rules, the game sprawls across streets, fields, and even the river. 3) Team spirit: the town divides into two teams – the Up'ards and the Down'ards (depending on what side of the River Henmore you were born!) with the goals 3 miles apart. 4) Unconventional football: the ball is larger than a normal football, made from leather and filled with cork (to help it float!). See you there!
