"I AM SIGNIFICANTLY MORE COLLABORATIVE"


"Sport Sparks took me through a logical process to clarify what my actual question was, and then consider a series of alternative perspectives specific to my question.  


This is what makes Sport Sparks so powerful. It provides perspectives which I either had not considered or did not have available to me at the time.  


What I quickly realised is Sport Sparks is not about answering my question.  It is about providing a much more structured way to think about the question and offer alternative perspectives on how I might go about implementing a solution.


Sport Sparks biggest impact on me is that I am significantly more collaborative with those I work with (coaches and support staff) and work for (the athletes).  


I previously assumed any problem was mine and mine alone to solve. Being asked to view the question from a different perspective allowed me to recognise who maybe best placed to help answer the performance question.  


By not providing me with an answer but provide a process to effectively problem-solve, Sport Sparks has fundamentally improved my problem-solving thinking style.  


The future use of Sport Sparks provides the opportunity to pause and use a structured process to help clarify and consider options to answer imminent performance questions."
