Life is short and fragile…
You never know what people are going through.
We live in times where being rude, divisive and mean is normal; sometimes even celebrated. It doesn’t have to be this way.
We should do our best to be kind, supportive and mindful.

Novak Djokovic says tennis is endangered at the club level, ‘If we don’t do something about it globally, they’re gonna convert all the tennis clubs into paddle or pickleball’

“In terms of innovation in our sport… other than Slams, we have to figure out how to attract a young audience. Tennis on one hand is in a good place, but at the same time, when we look at Formula 1 for example and what they’ve done in terms of marketing, in terms of growth of the sport, in terms of the races around the world and how popular they are.. I think we need to do a better job on our respective tours. The grand slams are always gonna do well. But I think our tours need to do better. We are lucky to be very historic and a very global sport. But I think one of the studies that was done by PTPA 3 or 4 years ago showed that tennis is the 3rd or 4th most watched sport in the world along with cricket. Number 1 is football or soccer as you call it in the states. Second is basketball. Then it’s tennis and cricket. But tennis is number 9 or 10 on the list of all sports in terms of using its popularity, commercializing or capitalizing on that. I think there’s a huge space for growth. We’re quite fractioned as a sport. There are quite a bit of things for us to collectively look at and try to improve it. We need to grow the number of players that live from this sport. Very rarely do I see in the media that you guys are writing about the fact that you have only 350 to 400 players both men, women, singles, doubles across the board that live from this sport on this planet. That’s deeply concerning for me. Yes, we talk about the grand slam winner wins this or that. The focus is always on the grand prize but what about the base level? We’re still doing a very poor job there… very poor job. Tennis is a very global sport and it’s loved by millions of children that pick up a racquet that wanna play, but we don’t make it accessible. We don’t make it so affordable. Especially in countries like mine that doesn’t have a strong federation, that has Grand Slam or history or big budgets.. so I think collectively we all have to come together or create a new foundation, a corner stone of really what tennis is about.. which is the base level. The club level. Now we have paddle that is growing and emerging. People kind of have fun with it and say ‘Yeah but tennis is tennis. Tennis is the king or queen of all racquet sports.’ That’s true. But on a club level, tennis is endangered. If we don’t do something about it, globally or collectively, paddle, pickleball in the states, they’re gonna convert all the tennis clubs into paddle and pickleball. Because it’s more economical. You have one tennis court… you can build 3 paddle courts on one tennis court. Do the simple math. It’s just much more financially viable for the owner of the club to have those courts. These are some of the things I wanted to share. In the grand scheme of things, we need to address all these challenges and issues. Because they’ve been out there for a while. I don’t think we’ve been addressing it in the proper way.”

Yesterday a video went viral on TikTok when a woman shared the inside of her car after it caught on fire

Including her Stanley cup - still in tact and with ice in it!!!

The president of Stanley stitched the video in < 24 hours offering to replace her cup…..and her car.

This company will now get likely 1B earned media impressions and positive brand awareness + knowledge of the quality of their product through this one quick response and 30 second video.

1. Listen to your social team
2. Moved fast
3. Care about your audience

Great marketing move, Stanley!!!

An absolute tragedy in Chicago today, with more to come. We are heartbroken and outraged that this massacre continues while building owners do nothing in the face of clear data and ample solutions. We send our sorrow and gratitude to all the collision monitors and advocates.

When it gets the hardest emotionally, a breakthrough is coming. Keep being kind to yourself. Keep making choices in alignment with your values. Keep telling the truth. Keep forgiving yourself when you fall into old patterns.

Trust the process. All is coming, as it should be.

In the dense mountain forests of New Caledonia, on the forest floor lives an almost flightless and endangered bird called the kagu (Rhynochetos jubatus)

You cry easily.

When you're overwhelmed, happy, or any time your body is releasing an intense emotion.

@yoniixxx Can I just ask where you got it/brand because I need this fancy dress but in a different colour 😍

Literally no one understands something more completely than a woman in a meeting who starts a question with “Just so I understand…”

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Panic explaining is common if you were shamed, punished for making mistakes, or if a parent figure shut down when you did something they didn’t like.

It a stress response because we’re afraid people will react in the same way.

The issue is that it makes people anxious, and they feel like they need to reassure you.

Say one sentence. Then let it be, you’ll gain confidence:

“It’s not in my capacity to do that right now.”

The Wrexham story is INSANE:

• Bought for $2.5M
• Produced docu-series on FX
• Added 1M+ social media followers
• Tripled season ticket purchases
• Signed sponsorships with TikTok, Expedia, etc.

And now they've been promoted back to the EFL for the first time in 15 years.
