The XI ASPC Forum on Elite Sport
recently held in Barcelona and hosted by
CAR, San Cugat and the Barca Innovation
Hub was a tremendous success. Thanks
to the over 300 people from 34 different
countries and 65 different Institutes/
Centres who joined us in Spain. The new
Ted talk format provided an opportunity
to hear from 39 different speakers and to
garner multiple perspectives on some key
topics.
The ASPC is all about sharing, about
continuous learning and about elevating
high performance sport across the
globe. As leaders, we must always be
looking outside our organizations – what
are others in the performance business
doing, what is happening in the business
world, the military, other performance
environments that may impact our
business or that we may learn from.
The ASPC is also about developing
leaders; people that want to become
better and want their Centers/Institutes
to become better. Leadership is hard,
challenging, heart breaking and inspiring.
It is a sacrifice, a joy and a privilege.
Leadership is also about helping the
people around you to grow. The stakes
of leadership are sky high and everyone
gets better when leaders get better.
With enough humility, we can learn from
anyone.
As goes the leader, so goes the team.
The ASPC network is the best place
develop your leadership, to connect,
to get answers to questions we may have,
to share and learn, and to get better.
I look forward to seeing you in Hong Kong.
