What do you consider high performance to be? Its not your results, its the stuff you do to get the results.
So my question - what is going to get you to the next level?
The Richmond Football Club Captain Trent Cotchin attributes love to getting them to lift to win the 2017 premiership.
Have you considered the power of love in lifting your team from being pretty good to high performing or elite?
What if you did?

It’s a really interesting cross-roads moment for OTT/D2C as we enter a ‘2.0’ era that puts the emphasis on technology and tools that genuinely drive ROI (as opposed to ‘nice to have’ tech ideas that don’t really move the needle).
Really looking forward to launching our latest OTT platform which is built specifically to drive performance across the 3 key metrics of reach, engagement and revenue. If you’re at Leaders and want a sneak peak - drop me a line.

Love this post from David Clancy ☘️about athlete availability. In my years of working in high performance sport, and trying to push the boundaries of human performance through marginal gains and innovation, I always felt very grounded by the fact that above all else, an athlete who is available to train with the quality, frequency and consistency that has been prescribed by their programme, will be seven times more likely to reach their goal. Physical and psychological availability are like gold dust in sport.
And that's why it's so interesting to me that we are still rubbish at quantifying and doing something about the impact that menstrual cycle symptoms have on availability of athletes. We've got pretty good at reporting that it's a real issue. The data is so consistent in every research paper that describes the proportion of active women and athletes whose quality or quantity of training is impacted by physical or psychological symptoms of their cycle. Another paper landed in my inbox today confirming (again) what we already know... that in a sample of 300 female athletes, 74% had physical symptoms and 63% had psychological symptoms related to their menstrual cycle. Follow up interviews found these symptoms decreased performance of these athletes, both in competition and training (Bugaevsky, 2023. J Clin Anesth & Res).
Given that three quarters of athletes will have availability impacted by the menstrual cycle, and we know availability is key to successful performance (as brilliantly described by David below), what are we doing about it? Are we doing enough? Are we doing the right things (lots of below-par attempts to collect menstrual cycle data from athletes but do nothing useful with it)?
Of course, it's complex. If availability was easy, every athlete would have nailed it by now. But it's affected by so many bio, psycho and social factors, some of which are unpredictable, that it's an ever present challenge in sport. But when it comes to the menstrual cycle, we know enough - we know symptoms are impacting availability, we know there are things we can do to help manage symptoms (if you don't, go buy our book!), and we have good tools to monitor the impact of interventions. So what's the problem? Again, it's complex. Some athletes are afraid to report symptoms for fear of judgement or selection consequences. Some are supported by coaches who are uncomfortable talking about the topic. Trainers and practitioners haven't historically had access to good information about how to help their athletes manage symptoms. And there is a deep rooted acceptance of suffering being a normal part of having a female reproductive system that we also have to undo.
But for now, I believe we can all do better. We know the issue. We have solutions. We can measure their effectiveness. By helping athletes manage symptoms we can improve their availability, which in turn will improve their performance. What are we waiting for?

The best ability is player availability for a sports team.
An equation: available players = more wins. 5 reasons why this matters.
Munster Rugby, my team...are decimated with injuries.
It will hurt their chances of winning this weekend.
In the 2016 Premier League, Leicester City, an underdog team, clinched the title -
BECAUSE their key players were available more often than those of their competitors.
This is the important part.
It wasn't about who had the most expensive team, but...
about who consistently had their best players on the pitch.

I enjoyed putting this together.
Hope it sparks some thinking.
