If you're in sport; a sporting club, a sporting organisation, at any level; these are the three things killing your progress:

1. "THAT'S THE WAY WE DO IT HERE" thinking

Where people refuse to change or learn or improve because they believe the way they do it is right. And is always right. No questions. No challenges. No growth.

2. "WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE WAY WE DID IT WHEN WE WERE GREAT" thinking

Another big problem where people believe the way forward is to go backwards. Back to when everything was wonderful. Except the world has moved on; and you can't win tomorrow's game with yesterday's playbook.

3. "WE WILL COME UP WITH A BRILLIANT STRATEGIC PLAN AND EVERYONE WILL FOLLOW WHAT WE SAY" thinking

Totally wrong. All great sporting success stories are built from the grassroots up. People lifting the sport to success from the bottom up; not being forced to follow plans and strategies from the top down.

Three ways of thinking.

Three ways of failing.

What's holding your sport, your club, your sporting organisation back?
