“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games Introducing, Be Challenged's MINI OLYMPICS!

We all like to think we are good at our jobs, and maybe even the very best. And certainly, to succeed as an independent consultant you have to find that skill/benefit where you really offer something special and truly unique. But it is not often you get a chance to compare yourself to Elite World Class sports people in the flesh. Well later this week Touch Luxembourg's M30 team will be doing just that. A group of ordinary guys will have the chance to play against some of the top Touch Rugby teams at the European championships in Vichy France. And when they play against England, France and Wales, they will be attempting to stretch to that intangible thing we call elite sport. We are a tiny nation in comparison to these sporting giants and self-funded, so we do have a crowd funding page which you would be most welcome to contribute to https://gofund.me/ac28c571 And as a player who is old enough to be the Dad of nearly all the England or French players (and not in the same league), it has been an interesting journey to understand the mindset to compete at your very best. Also as President of Touch Luxembourg, what does it mean to try to compete at an elite sports level when clearly you do not have the player base to do so. (Luxembourg has perhaps 100 regular players versus 100,000 in the UK) What I have concluded is that whether you are a top athlete or as in my professional life working with service teams, performing at an elite level is about having the mindset that will help you be your very best, whatever that might be for you. I am just very fortunate that Touch Rugby is such an inclusive sport, played by Women, Men or Mixed teams in a variety of age groups, that I have have had the opportunity to explore and understand what it is to achieve "high performance" #TouchRugby #luxembourg #TouchLuxembourg

On this day in history 01/25/24. In 1924 the 1st Winter Olympic Games opened in Chamonix, France. The 1924 Winter Olympics, officially known as the I Olympic Winter Games were a winter multi-sport event which was held in 1924 in Chamonix, France. Originally held in association with the 1924 Summer Olympics, the sports competitions were held at the foot of Mont Blanc in Chamonix, and Haute-Savoie, France between 25 January and 5 February 1924. The Games were organized by the French Olympic Committee, and were originally reckoned as the “International Winter Sports Week.” With the success of the event, it was retroactively designated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as “the first Olympic Winter Games”. Athletes from 16 nations competed in the first Winter Olympic Games. Germany was banned from competing in the games, and instead hosted a series of games called Deutsche Kampfspiele. Medals were awarded in 16 events contested in 5 sports (9 disciplines). Many sources do not list curling and the military patrol, or list them as demonstration events. However, no such designation was made in 1924. In February 2006, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) ruled that curling was a full part of the Olympic program, and have included the medals awarded in the official count. Now you know.

Olympic Prize Money! Is it just me, or is there something very different about the Paris Olympics starting in 100 days? Firstly, there seems to be a distinct lack of global hype, at least in our part of the world. I was asking some young lawyers in my office and they said we were missing a global figure who would inspire us. Secondly, there are a lot of other important happenings around the world at the moment that, deservedly, are consuming our attention. The event itself promises to be a departure from tradition from the opening ceremony to other aspects. It appears to be an Olympics in Paris where most Parisians who can have left their city will be absent. Finally, this will be the first time that World Athletics will be offering prize money for its sports. This trend is bound to extend to other sports. https://lnkd.in/d7dtwmWt
