In the lead-up to the season opener, I've spoken to a few people about the nerves surrounding the NRL Las Vegas visit. We know most crises have a human core, and a season opener of an industry with a history rich in crisis and drama seems to be brewing a perfect storm. There will be a high level of media interest (there is already) and eyes will be on. If something happens in LA? It won't stay in LA. The league surely have their structures in place - and they shouldn't be just focused on their players. A visit like this could be a text book process in preparing for a crisis - have they got good legal? Have they got good contacts in the international diplomatic space? In the international law enforcement space? Over ten years ago, I arranged for 800 US Marines to have their first leave pass to watch an AFL game. Out in the general public. With hundreds of uncontrollables. I will never forget the three minutes of quiet, internal panic* I had before the busses arrived at the stadium - had I created the perfect storm? I knew though, for those hundred uncontrollables, I had the million controllables controlled. It ended up being such a great event - one of the best. And I got about 800 new international Melbourne Football Club supporters on board! Go Dees. Kate Roffey AM Tom Parker 裴仁杰 #crisiscommunication #crisismanagement #nrl https://lnkd.in/ep7w3qmN

In this video we discuss the topic of Relative Age Effect in football and how professional football academies can show a bias towards those players born in quartile 1 (Q1) of the academic year (1st September - 30th November). He highlights how it can be a challenge for children born later in the year but how it is possible to overcome such hurdles such as England's Harry Kane who was born 28th July. https://lnkd.in/eFhmqzrU

Exactly. This trend is observable across various teams, including FC Barcelona (I am a huge fan), where erstwhile luminaries like Xavi, Iniesta, and Deco displayed a penchant for audacious strikes from distance. Contrastingly, the current crop of players, typified by Frenkie De Jong, Pedri, and Gavi, seems less inclined towards such ventures. This reluctance to attempt long shots may stem from a prevailing ethos prioritizing methodical buildup play and meticulous execution over spontaneity and risk-taking. In essence, modern football seems to favor a more controlled approach, where players are encouraged to seek optimal scoring opportunities rather than opt for speculative efforts from afar. Regrettably, this trend may intensify in the future, as tactical frameworks become increasingly rigid and players are groomed to adhere strictly to predefined strategies. However, it's crucial to recognize the inherent value of experimentation and unpredictability in football—a sentiment encapsulated in the adage, "If you don't shoot, you will never be able to know how much the goalkeeper can take." Thus, striking a balance between tactical discipline and creative expression remains imperative in preserving the essence of the beautiful game. Anyways Great Post!!!

Mark Termini is the Cleveland-based sports attorney and agent who has represented professional basketball players, coaches, and executives for more than 30 years. Over the course of his storied career he has negotiated more than $2 billion in professional sports contracts. In his new book, 'Words To Negotiate By', he complies a fantastic and eclectic list of axioms, proverbs and collected wisdom from a lifetime operating in the complex worlds of business and sports. Here are 9 of my favorite quotes from the book.

Me last week, "Scottie Scheffler is really good at golf." Nelly Korda, "Hold my beer." 21,000+ fans show up at the Bell Centre to set the attendance record for women's hockey. Caitlin Clark's Fever jersey outsells entire Cowboys' roster (yay!). Fanatics says new stock won't arrive for a few months (boo!). Women continue to rock the #sportsbiz. But, I digress. We're here for the weekly Nice Guy/Gal awards. Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals). If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EST on Thursday. There are only 3 requirements: 1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate 2) you can only nominate one person per week 3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀   If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement. Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice. Have a great day, everyone. https://lnkd.in/edbkuGKU  #network #sportsbiz #people #niceguy #networking #sportsmarketing
