The future faces of baseball operation management are right here.

Scouting is about people and more specifically developing young people to become the kind of people we want in our neighborhoods, companies, and leadership positions. When you hear Alex’s story, you can understand how powerful Scouting can be. The impact expands far beyond the Troop!

It is a struggle. And COVID certainly didn't help, but rather slowed everything down. But I am finally starting to see that we are no longer this bunch of weirdos approaching the business side of a sports club in a totally different way than anyone else. I see more and more signs that clubs are starting to realise that their premium customers and business partners are not just fans with more money. They are a totally different segment that should be catered for differently. They have a different customer journey and different touch points. they have totally different expectations. If you want to optimise your dealings with this segment, redesigning your processes and IT infrastructure is not just an option. It is a must. Sometimes you have to realise that the path you took so many years ago is no longer heading in the direction you had in mind. It is never too late to take a different path, but it becomes more and more difficult the longer you wait.... Thanks Gordon Kaye to shine some light on the challenges and frustrations and for highlighting that sometimes you just have to take 1 step back to take a leap forward!

🌟 Five years ago, a serendipitous match at Whitehawk brought two exceptional Black officials, Joel Mannix and Aji Ajibola, together. ⚽️🤝 Not only did this game foster a deep friendship, but it also sparked a journey towards a higher purpose. A mission that will continue, influencing lives and shaping futures, long after their time as officials. 🚀 This purpose is not just about changing rules; it's about changing mindsets and creating new possibilities. 💡 It has galvanised many, including myself, to drive change and work towards a more inclusive future. 🌍💪 Each time we see increased representation, it's likely that the efforts of Aji and Joel are woven into that progress. 📈 Their dedication and hard work are helping the fabric of the communities see themselves reflected in roles they may not have previously considered. 🌐 The power of representation is immense - it inspires, motivates, and opens doors to new beginnings. 🚪🌟 Every success story reported, every barrier broken, is not just an individual achievement; it's a beacon of hope that lights the way for others. 💫 I am excited to watch Aji's journey and look forward to the day he officiates in the premier league. 🏆🎯 Here's to a future where everyone has the best seat in the stadium. 🏟️🥂 Aji Ajibola Joel Mannix Arran Williams The Football Association EFL (English Football League) The Premier League Kent FA Raj Randhawa Minesh Gupta Farai Hallam Jeff Davis Kevin Yusuf Coleman Lauren Emmerson, LMSW Lorraine Humm Martin Cassidy Tom Amber Tom Webb #ChangeMakers #RepresentationMatters #HigherPurpose #InclusionInSports https://lnkd.in/eBbgTZ9T

Love to see it! As dope as this is, the only thing that will be doper is when this is the norm and not the exception, but until such time, we're making progress. #NFL #MinoritiesInSports #DiverseRepresentation #WomenInSports
