Sports Thoughts #6: Competitive Sport is Dying

Competitive sport - is dying. There is no doubt that Competitive Sport around the world is in crisis. In some places, particularly in rural and regional areas, some sports - particularly the traditional Olympic sports are dying - or are already dead all together. In response, Governments and Sporting Organizations around the globe are looking for new ways to deliver the sports experience to children and families. However, it is fair to say that sport in general has been slow to react to this crisis with the majority of sports administrators and coaches continuing to the do things "the old-way" and hoping that the trends turn around by themselves. The key to helping your sport to not only survive - but to thrive - is to look at the "end-user" experience. What is the actual experience that your "end-users", i.e. the kids who play competitive sport - and their families receive - when they arrive at your training field, pool, court or arena? If you're focused on competition, on selecting junior sport representative teams, on pushing kids along the competitive sports "pathway", on early specialization - chances are your Club - and your sport is one of those who will not survive in these rapidly changing times. If however, you've built a sporting environment which is founded and grounded on the principles of engagement, excitement, entertainment and coaching effectiveness and you're providing a family friendly opportunity for kids to "fall in love" with the sports experience, you're on your way to being a sporting success story. I'll be discussing why Competitive sport is dying all over the world and presenting ideas and solutions to help you - your team, your Club and your sport change this alarming situation.
