⚽️⚽️⚽️A Big THANKS to the German Soccer TEAM⚽️⚽️⚽️ I am Celebrating the Leadership and Resilience: My Lessons from the German Soccer Team In the heart-pounding 1:2 match against Spain in Euro 2024, our German soccer team showed us what true grit and unity look like. While the scoreboard didn't favour us this time, our team's courage and spirit were nothing short of extraordinary. I'm bursting with pride for our team and Coach Julian Nagelsmann's incredible leadership. He truly embodied George Kohlrieser's "Care to Dare" philosophy. Trust was the foundation of their journey, uniting players from diverse cultural backgrounds into a cohesive unit where only skills, motivation, trust and dedication matter. Their fighting spirit and bravery in taking risks were inspiring. The players ventured boldly, testing their limits because they knew their coach was a secure base. Failures were not feared but embraced as stepping stones for growth and learning, leading to impactful changes and strategies. Every moment was filled with the spirit of willingness to perform and unwavering belief. Though we didn't clinch the top spot, we lost to another great champion, and that is something to honour. After a period of reflection, grieving and healing, we'll rise, ready to face the next big challenge: the Soccer World Cup 2026, with even greater determination. Germany has so much to learn from our soccer team's resilience and leadership. Let's celebrate our journey, cherish these lessons, and eagerly look forward to future triumphs! #Leadership #CareToDare #GermanSoccer #Euro2024 #Resilience #TeamSpirit #TrustAndRisk #ProudMoment #FutureChampions

🌟 Fortuna Düsseldorf's Bold Move German Bundesliga International GmbH 2 club Fortuna,is rewriting the rules of the game with their "Fortuna for Everyone" initiative. They've opened their doors, offering free admission to their home games, with the goal of making all home fixtures free within five years. This groundbreaking project aims to strengthen the bond between the club and its community, expand the fanbase, and attract commercial partners who believe in their mission. While it's a gamble, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, with an incredible demand for tickets. This initiative is not just about free admission; it's about giving everyone the opportunity to experience the magic of live football, regardless of income or background. Commercial partners like Hewlett Packard, Targo Bank, and Common Goal are stepping up to support this social-aware initiative. They see the potential to be associated with something unique and beneficial. Fortuna's CEO, Alexander Jobst, emphasizes full transparency and a commitment to directing 50% of the revenue away from the men's team, towards youth and women's teams, and local social projects. This experiment challenges the conventional wisdom in football and strives to maintain its momentum to create a virtuous circle. The ultimate goal? Making football accessible to everyone. It's a reminder that football, the world's most popular sport, should be for all. Source: The Athletic #Football #Innovation #Community #AccessForAll #FortunaForEveryone ⚽🎟👏

Germany has won the Basketball world cup. In the few days that I have been ardently passionate about Basketball, even though there are some things that still confuse me, I think I have understood several things: - Germany is now a basketball nation. People who notice an absence of motorcades should remember that Germany is presently transforming its energy supply. In places where electric cars aren't yet ubiquitous, be on the lookout for cyclist parades - The next world cup is scheduled to take place in Qatar, so extrapolating from the football world cup, there's probably not going to be a repeat of this success. Concerns that a significant portion of German industrial output will now be funneled into the science and engineering of third arm technology are, however, overblown - In case I'm wrong about the use of third arms, FIBA regulations would still need to be updated. Germany is generally rule-abiding and the degree of corruption is low. Expect initiatives to bribe governing bodies with cuckoo clocks to be undertaken by satirical pamphlets, though. This is our local custom - There are preliminary reports reaching my home country that we are actually dealing with less of a world cup in the sense of football, and more with Olympic qualifiers. I don't know what to make of this yet, but I plan to keep you posted regardless of the outcome - It seems international competition reflects on eligibility of national league winners to call themselves world champions. If I'm not mistaken, world champions will now either be crowned by winning the German basketball league, or there's a requirement of NBA teams to hire German players to be eligible. It's possible though that this honor is actually tied to Olympic gold medals, not the world cup. See above, will keep you posted In any case, I'm happy to have encountered this exotic sport with appealingly high score counts. While in football, it seems the German men's squad is in the process of passing the torch to the women's team and the Japanese, in Basketball there seems to be a different trend. In light of this, a certain football semifinal victory against a legendary football nation has become quite the stale memory recently. To counteract this, from Germany, you may be able to watch the recordings of this much more recent semifinal on Magenta TV, and forget all about the sport where the foot should be used to play the ball

When we talk about the business of sport, what exactly are we investing in? The case of Alba Berlin in Germany is one worth considering. From a purely economic perspective, it's a model of good governance in sport. The success however is far more than that and the governance comes from a much more holistic approach to growth. The clash of fan culture vs business interests isn't a simple as it appears. Alba proves that as its work in investing in developing a fanbase and making those supporters feel like they matter has made it a more valuable entity, both culturally and economically. In sports, there's a transience to a rich investor coming in and looking to spend big. It creates far more costs for said investor in generating real value from the asset. When viewed as a cultural entity first, the economic value becomes more straightforward to generate and stabilise. I could feel that first hand at the Alba vs Bonn game on Sunday.
