What we learned about the importance of uninhibited performance at the Leaders Sport Performance Summit in London.<\/p>\n \n \n \n

\n

By John Portch<\/h6>\n
Does the thought of transformation scare you and your peers?<\/h6>\n

Removing the fear from performance was at the heart of this month\u2019s Leaders Sport Performance Summit at London\u2019s Kia Oval.<\/p>\n

Over the course of two days, speakers from organisations including the England & Wales Cricket Board [ECB], the Football Association [FA], Australian Institute of Sport [AIS], Brisbane Lions, British Cycling and the National Health Service [NHS] continually returned to the theme of removing the fear factor from performance.<\/p>\n

Here we present seven steps towards generating the clarity and purpose that fills people with energy, delivers alignment, and enables people to adhere to principles when challenged.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Eliminate negativity \u2013 be positive<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When Rob Key, the Managing Director of Cricket at the ECB, took the reins in April 2022, the England men\u2019s Test team was at its lowest ebb in decades. The team had lost its last five series when Key, alongside ECB Performance Director Mo Bobat and new Head Coach Brendon McCullum, decided to adopt an approach to performance rooted in positivity rather than negativity. England were accused of naivety \u2013 until the team started performing in fearless fashion. Critically, they stuck with it following setbacks and defeats across all formats of the game.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \u201cEnglish cricket has [historically] spent its entire time looking at the danger\u2026 my view is that we have so many talented players… it\u2019s not a lack of talent, it\u2019s the mentality of English cricket, especially county cricket, which is so conservative. That was my thing: we need to change the way we think about the game, the way that we do things, the mentality. It wasn\u2019t about winning. There isn\u2019t a person that doesn\u2019t want to win\u2026 this informed every decision that Mo and I ended up making.\u201d<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
    Rob Key<\/em><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Promote playfulness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Key readily admitted that he could have achieved very little in his first months without the counsel and support of Bobat. He needed Bobat onside \u2013 and free to speak without fear or reservations \u2013 if the ECB\u2019s renewed emphasis on positivity was to deliver tangible outcomes. It was not mindless idealism.<\/p>\n
      \n
      \u201cRob immediately made me feel valued\u2026 and then I was going to give it my all. The thing that I enjoyed most from him, having worked with him for a year and a half, has been [the realisation] that I am at my best when I\u2019m playful; and working with Rob encourages me to be playful and I think that enabled you to do not worry so much about the risk and the threat. And I think if you\u2019re playful and you don\u2019t take yourself too seriously what appears like a risky decision or brave decision to someone else just seems like the right thing to do.\u201d<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
      Mo Bobat<\/em><\/pre>\n
      Bobat\u2019s point was underlined by Lucy Pearson, the Director of Education at the FA, who has worked in both sporting and academic settings. Pearson explained that playfulness in the FA’s approach to education enhances skill acquisition and attainment for athletes and coaches alike.<\/p>\n
      \n
      \u201cI think play and playfulness is really important if we\u2019re going to achieve high performance in any area. How do you foster playfulness in your workplaces and challenge the seriousness that comes with the serious thing of high performance? Because we take ourselves too seriously at times. That doesn’t mean that everything\u2019s hilarious \u2013 maybe it is \u2013 but it does mean that we adopted a slightly different approach.\u201d<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
      Lucy Pearson<\/em><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Create safe spaces for failure<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        Positivity and playfulness count for little if every error is pounced upon. The fear factor would return in an instant. Chris Fagan realised this upon his appointment as the Brisbane Lions\u2019 Senior Coach in 2017. He took over a team in turmoil and the results remained poor for the following two campaigns. Then Brisbane started winning and gradually became one of the finest teams in the AFL [Australian Football League]. Their grand final appearance in September showed how far they’d come.<\/p>\n
        \n
        \u201cI told the players at the very start when we got together that we\u2019re going to fail our way to the top and not to worry about that because it\u2019s through your failures that you learn. These blokes were really frightened about failing and I had to take that fear out of it for them\u2026 [the concept of having a growth mindset] we\u2019ve pretty much been doing that stuff for the last seven years.\u201d<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
        Chris Fagan<\/em><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Have you prioritised your debriefing?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          The OSAD [Observational Structured Assessment of Debriefing] tool is a useful way of reducing the fear factor in surgical operating theatres. It was based on studies in the UK, US and Australia and, not only does it allow for analytical objectivity and precision, its emergence has seen processes of debriefing brought into an environment where debriefs were unpopular with those who might benefit the most from self-reflection. As consultant emergency surgeon Sonal Arora told the Leaders audience, OSAD seeks to provide evidence-based performance debriefing so that surgeons and surgical teams can train “the gold medallist” rather than the “runner-up”. However, as she explained, such a system must be baked into the culture.<\/p>\n
          \n
          \u201cPeople said to us\u2026 things like debriefing and feedback need to be part of the culture. People need ring-fenced time for this, it can\u2019t just be an add-on, ad hoc that some people are doing well and other people are doing it off the cuff at the end of a game, at the end of an operation, and the end of the week. It actually needs to be given the time and the importance. And that comes from the top down, it\u2019s not going to be down to the individual person in their organisation \u2013 we need to get buy-in from seniors\u2026 we looked at the components of the ideal debrief from looking at all of the literature, all of the interviews, gathering all the experts.\u201d<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
          Sonal Arora<\/em><\/pre>\n
            \n
          1. Leave no one behind<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            The safe spaces and psychological safety stem from people feeling that they belong \u2013 something that was not true of the AIS. In 2022, the organisation was still developing its 2023+ performance strategy as the nation prepares for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games on home soil in Brisbane. Before the strategy launched, Matti Clements, the organisation\u2019s Executive General Manager, was given a reality check by some of the nation\u2019s Paralympians.<\/p>\n
            \n
            \u201c[Some Paralympians] felt that they were an afterthought. Our system had been created around able-body and that they were just a consideration once everything else had been done. For them to belong to the strategy, they needed to see themselves as part of that strategy. So we made a very considered commitment to them to ensure all of our programmes, the frameworks, models etc. in the future had inclusive design as a basic fundamental principle, which would not only benefit them but broader cohorts in our system.\u201d<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
            Matti Clements<\/em><\/pre>\n
            Similarly, Clements explained that Australia has the \u201clongest living culture in the world yet we are white and middle class and do not utilise the knowledge of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peers about passing on knowledge from generation to generation and getting better. We\u2019ve made a commitment to do better at that.\u201d<\/p>\n
            Her colleague Bill Davoren, the AIS\u2019s Head of High Performance Coach Development, spoke of some of the progress being made.<\/p>\n
            \n
            \u201cI\u2019m very proud that I\u2019ve got a gentleman in my team who comes from an indigenous background. He is a former Australian boxing coach, an amazing story. Was Australian military before he became a boxing coach and he went on to get a PhD in coaching theory and coaching methodology. He\u2019s probably been my greatest teacher over the past three years. He\u2019s talked to me a lot about the concept of yarning, sharing stories, sharing information, building connections.\u201d<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
            Bill Davoren<\/em><\/pre>\n
              \n
            1. Empower your people<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              Inclusion is not just a nice-to-have or merely a moral imperative. Time and again studies have demonstrated that diverse teams produce better results. Remove the fear, make people feel welcome, and when they are empowered to input you\u2019ll alight on a better performance strategy. The point was convincingly made by Jon Norfolk, the Head Coach of British Cycling, who explains that strategising cannot be the preserve of the few.<\/p>\n
              \n
              \u201cThe clearest plan wins\u2026 the clearer your plan is the more people can access it, the more people understand it, and the more people you\u2019ll have to back your plan. I\u2019ve seen situations where the plan is the product of the coach and it\u2019s only the coach that\u2019s inputted into it\u2026 if you have one person inputting into a plan you\u2019ve got their biases baked into that plan. The more people that input the more that bias is neutralised. The clearer your plan is the more people can input into it and the better plan you get. The clearer the plan, the more impactful the plan.”<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
              Jon Norfolk<\/em><\/pre>\n
                \n
              1. Finally, win well<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                The AIS\u2019s strategy for 2032 includes in its vision the need to \u2018win well\u2019. They embody the growing belief that wellbeing and performance are indivisible. Taking the idea further, wellbeing is critical to the elimination of fear.<\/p>\n
                \n
                \u201cWe believe wellbeing is fundamental to sustainable high performance success in our country and we wanted to make a commitment to our athletes, future and current, that we would do better. When all those leaders signed their commitment to standing behind Australia\u2019s first-ever united strategy, they also committed to a win well pledge. As leaders of the system, they said: \u2018we stand here and we\u2019re going to commit to creating cultures that consider wellbeing at the core of all high performance programmes now and in the future and we believe it\u2019s going to be a performance advantage.\u2019\u201d<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
