Flying home, taking in the view and reflecting on my trip. 3 weeks, 3 countries, some new friends and countless memories/learning experiences. Huge thank you to @UniCanberra, @StirlingSharpe and @jocelynmara1 for their time and work x @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
One of my most special travelling experiences visiting #Glacier3000 in Les Diablerets! ๐ Flying down the slopes on the apline coaster certainly lifted adrenalin levels while crossing the bridge raised a hair or two ๐ป @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19#goosebumps
Not everyday you get to experience this type of nature in its purest form. Did you know Lake Geneva is shared between France and Switzerland? ๐ป๐ @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
Special visit to the @Olympics Museum. So much history learnt, so many emotions felt, so many personal memories recounted. Being here allowed me to truely understand everything that the โOlympic valuesโ stand for! @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
Paula Jenkins introduced the โTournament Managrment Systemโ (TMS). This database allows for comprehensive storage of player information, competition results, career history and performance statistics. Certainly sometime I would love to use ๐ @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
Hilary Atkinson, @FIH_Hockey Pro League Director, explained the new international competition, aimed at increasing world hockey quality and viewership. Interesting how sports look at other sporting competitions for ideas. @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
Andre from @FIH_Hockey who specialises in game development, believes growth relies on more than sporting competition itself. Humanitarian campaigns that inspire and capture people is a key factor to attract more audience. @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
Thoroughly enjoyable visit to @FIH_Hockey, home of world hockey. John told us how hockey makes use of football stadia facilities to enjoy benefits of lighting, broadcast and seating among other services. @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
Julien Buhajezuk and Tina Sharma Tiwari told us how student university level sport has been a key stepping stone for later success at Olympic level. @FISU is responsible for making it all happen! @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
Michael Broadley presented on โlegacyโ which is a cornerstone of what โOlympismโ represents. Not all past Olympics have left positive legacies. It is crucial that future Olympic hosts have a clear legacy they want to leave. @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
Nalain Naidon from a sponsorship and marketing background discussed how brands seek to sponsor events that share the same sporting and human values as the organisation and wider audience. Also, its important capture target audience early! @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
Heavily emphasised is the need to run a test event to ensure readiness of the city and itโs services for competition, e.g. the FIFA Condefedations Cup
Andrea Marcellini, an exceptionally experienced event manager spoke about mega sporting event management. Key factors driving event complexity are โservicesโ i.e. infrastructure, security, transport and facilities ๐๐ ๐ข @UCSportMgtFLP#UCSportMgtEuro19
