It is the world’s biggest sporting event that highlights the globe’s most popular sport. What is remarkable about this year’s tournament, and sports in general lately, are the learnings that can be applied to industrial companies working through energy transition and sustainability challenges. So, let’s turn it toward industry.

Fall sports are in in full swing, so I spend my weekends on the soccer and flag football fields. The leaves are changing colors, with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows popping off the trees. The mornings are cool and crisp, and the afternoons warm up, which makes spending time out side that much more enjoyable.

If you played sports, you know that the rules for soccer, football and baseball are quite different, and that a team-based sport looks quite different than an individual sport like swimming or track. The teams can come together because the rules are defined.

As in sports, agile companies can choose not to respond in certain situations. Two areas that are steeped in the study of agility and change management emerged: military science and sports science. A sports example helps to clarify the difference. Competitive play. Being agile means having the capability to be responsive.”.

One of the big changes occurring in the food service packaging industry is the use of biobased food containers at sports events. At major sporting events, people may not read the disposal bin signs, and throw all of their waste materials into the same bin. Many other sports and entertainment venues are starting to take notice.

You are used to soccer. We were talking about the soccer teams because there were soccer teams down in San Luis. When you ask them about sport, they start with soccer and you get this big surprise about how much American football they follow. Outside of that, you are a kid so you find friends quickly and evolve.

They have all of the cleats, gloves and equipment for the major sports. They will have football this time of year, basketball and training will always be there, plus soccer and cross-country. Probably one of the most interesting features in stores is we will begin testing East Bay, which is an online-only site for elite athletes.

For example, if you sell football equipment, it might be popular in the US, but it may not be as popular overseas since football is largely a US sport, and ‘football’ refers to soccer in other countries. Does the country you’re looking to launch into have a need for your product?

My son is very, very passionate about the sport. But he walked away from it, wanting instead to play soccer and basketball. Pattern recognition is at the heart of development in any sport and its especially critical in professional sports. I love seeing that. He played hockey and captained every team that I coached.

I see minor sports primarily as a way of building ‘community’; of developing character in our children-- helping them learn from both ‘the winning’ and ‘the losing’ that occurs. I like sports especially for teaching our children how to be part of a team. link] Being a Canadian I can say this.

I was told the sad story while I enjoyed my son’s soccer game in the warmth and dryness of a car while a monsoon was enveloped the field of play. It is my sincere hope that they can get their business and personal lives in place where they too can enjoy watching their children play soccer, or coach a minor sports team.

Other seasonal examples include sporting events for example. When the World Cup rolls around every four years and you’re dealing with sporting goods, then you had better make sure that you stock-up for football boots, balls and country jerseys. Suddenly no one wants to kick a soccer ball around after the final World Cup match.

It has taken me a while in my sporting life, and in my business life, to truly appreciate the hardships and challenges that you are confronted with. I learned to appreciate ‘the struggle’ in the field of sports. So many aspects of the game were amazing, but the thing I most enjoyed most was the five lead changes in the game.

I played sports all of my life. Mostly team sports that were highly competitive – hockey, soccer, football and baseball (now I just play golf.and I never win!) If you don’t like what you see in your company, you may find that in areas of yourself that you don’t like.
