This is SCORE Podcast, a space where we discuss the responsibilities of sports for and within society. The world of sports gravitates around short-term endeavors, yearly leagues, and mega sports events, often neglecting long-term sustainable development. Event after event, campaign after campaign, trend after trend, there seems to be a lack of strategic vision for future generations. What impact could sports have on our world?Can sports do more?Who is responsible? How can we creatively think about the long term, about a future where sport is interconnected with and contributes to a better society? To address these questions, we focus on possible solutions and desired scenarios. After deconstructing the present, we jump into the future, encouraging our guests to define their ideal future. This show is produced by SCORE Sport Think Tank. We are independent sports thinkers who aim to support and cooperate with the sports community to SCORE impactful and relevant solutions.Check our LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

    Thinking accessibility beyond mobility

    Remember the last time you visited a stadium for a sports event? What was the biggest challenge that you faced in order to get there, to access your seats, to get your food, beers or soda? Maybe the biggest challenge was to climb a mountain, cross a river or follow directions that did not exist. No? Well, 15% of the global population faces accessibility difficulties even before they reach the sports venue, it could start when they buy the tickets or from the moment they leave home to go to the venue. This episode explores the future of accessibility of sport events and the responsibilities of International Federations and other stakeholders in improving standards. José Soares is our guest today in the new SCORE Podcast. José is the Founder & Chief Association Executive of Football for All Leadership Programme and Integrated Dreams Association. For José, a key element to finding solutions is collaboration between Sports Federations. Avoiding reinventing the wheel and sharing best practices is the first step towards a better future of accessibility. Additional crucial points have been shared by José: Technology and Digital Accessibility, Local Authorities’ (City) role and the awareness and importance of working beyond mobility accessibility.

    Sport governing bodies in 30 years

    Since the times of Coubertin the Olympic Movement has implemented the same model and the same structure. Michael Naversnik proposes a new governance and management model that could create a different future for the athletes and the sports world. Michael shared with us two powerful proposals: Transforming the sports world: moving from B2B (meaning International Federations to National Federations) to B2C (International Federations to Athletes). Centralization vs decentralization: what’s the best for sports? How to find the perfect mix?Michael Naversnik is our guest in SCORE Podcast and he combines over 10 years of global management consulting with more than 10 years of strategy and development roles in the sports, public, NGO sectors and beyond.

    Fairness and efficiency of the anti-doping system

    Drink only bottled water, eat organic chicken & organic eggs and make sure that the person you kiss or spend night with does not take drugs. Sounds like weird advice to ordinary people, yet it can be crucial for the athletes not to be banned from performing and ruin their career because of the threshold found in their blood while testing for doping. Nowadays laboratories can detect not only nanograms of prohibited substances but picograms, which are one trillionth of a gram… like one splash of salt in an entire swimming pool. No scientists can distinguish it and according to the rules the burden of proof lies on the athletes who need to make an investigation and sometimes spend thousands to justify they are innocent. We spoke with Paul J. Greene, the Founder of Global Sports Advocates and one of the world’s leading sports lawyers on this topic, about the fairness and efficiency of the anti-doping system. He sees inspiration in the way UFC and several American leagues are dealing with this issue by switching the burden of proof to the anti-doping agency in cases where the level of the prohibited substance is too little. Now it’s for them to make an effort and prove that it was an intention: a complete game changer. And it’s not the only way to deal with it.

    Rethinking active cities in the Middle-East

    Active lifestyle seems to be compromised in some countries of the Middle-East. In this conversation with Hisham Shehabi, we discuss how important it is for the region to ensure the population is enabled to practice sports.  We explored how some countries in the region have tackled public health issues through clear strategies and programs aimed at improving people’s lifestyle; a vision of the future where cities are active - i.e. all sectors move as a daily routine and facilities are accessible for all - and all is data-driven and driven by the community - i.e. multiple groups are responsible and use various channels of communications. Elite and mass participation will be integrated. Check out our website score-sport.com and our LinkedIn page, to find more information about what we do.
