We\u2019ve shifted the focus to try to spotlight some of the great work \u2013 and great individuals behind it \u2013 going on through adversity at the moment. It\u2019s free to enter this year too, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/leaders-sports-awards\/\">it doesn\u2019t take too long to nominate<\/a>. The deadline is next week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.)

How is fitness data monetised? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Picking up on a question from last week, it looks like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/investing\/stocks\/under-armour-uaa-stock-myfitnesspal-app\">Under Armour don\u2019t know the answer<\/a>, despite five years and over $475 million searching for it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.) Why isn\u2019t the women\u2019s game in Football Manager?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There may well be soon, as the game\u2019s director, Miles Jacobson, told us on the latest Leaders Linked session. He was in conversation with David Cushnan, of this parish, and Les Reed, the man whose \u2018blackbox\u2019 system of scouting transformed Southampton\u2019s performances, both on the pitch and in the bank. Moneyball is still alive, well, and lucrative. It\u2019s a thoroughly entertaining conversation, <a href=\"https:\/\/event.on24.com\/eventRegistration\/console\/EventConsoleApollo.jsp?&amp;eventid=2454077&amp;sessionid=1&amp;username=&amp;partnerref=&amp;format=fhvideo1&amp;mobile=&amp;flashsupportedmobiledevice=&amp;helpcenter=&amp;key=DED235E93CAFAA551487D62465F56CF4&amp;newConsole=false&amp;nxChe=true&amp;text_language_id=en&amp;playerwidth=748&amp;playerheight=526&amp;eventuserid=323462648&amp;contenttype=A&amp;mediametricsessionid=277527717&amp;mediametricid=3468709&amp;usercd=323462648&amp;mode=launch\">and still available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.) <\/strong><strong>What is the gold standard for rights holder digital content creators?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the NBA and NHL announce that each team will be allowed to bring one digital content executive with them into their respective return-to-play bubbles, Seven League\u2019s Daniel Ayers hits the nail squarely on the head with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yodaniel\/status\/1280483664585990147\">this quick lesson from the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.) Is anyone having an actual holiday\/vacation this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Good for you. Here are some books you might like to take with you. There\u2019s rarely any middle ground with behavioural science, I\u2019ve found. It\u2019s either garbage or gold. And it\u2019s pretty much 50-50. <a href=\"https:\/\/behavioralscientist.org\/behavioral-scientists-summer-book-list-2020\/\">Some of these<\/a>, therefore, will definitely be very good.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.)
