In the first three rounds of @SuperNetball 7 of the 8 teams have been part of a nail biting match. The @GIANTS_Netball have their best chance this weekend. #SSN2026 #netballfamily

TY for sharing this info. Deeply disappointing and unbelievable that there is still such a big difference between men and women’s prize funds. My study (market researcher) evaluates how fans engage w. sponsors & teams. Women’s team’s fans deliver. Prize funds should reflect this

A very good example of what drives our emotional connection to a team - the role of an individual. Also great to see the hugs for Jo Harten from managers of both teams.
A fitting farewell 💫

Deeply moving words from Chelsea.

"We were judged for wanting babies but I want mums on my team." Nottingham Forest netball coach Chelsea Pitman has been recalling her tough fertility journey and says pregnancy and motherhood should not be taboo in sport.

A classic demonstration of why we connect with people… Dan Evans has always been transparent about who he is. His honesty and yesterday his outward display of emotion - continue to keep me connected.

An emotional moment for Dan Evans 🥹 He saw the door and he walked through it! 🚪🚶

This has caused some ‘wow’s’ and ‘whoa this is cool’ responses! Encouraging to see and interesting to follow the progress.

This demonstrates the long term outcomes of emotional connection to a team. Do you measure it? We do! Get in touch if you want to know how your team is performing in 2025. What it can shout about, and where it can improve connection and attract sponsors.
The moments you feel so proud to be both a Brit and an Aussie. Such a great team, collaboration, passion, dedication shining through. Leading to goose bumps and just a few tears of happiness! ⚽️ 🇬🇧🇦🇺 🏆🥰

A lecture well worth watching. Southgate holds a unique spot in the history of men’s football. But he goes well beyond just sport, his ability to engage us, inspire us and make us reflect is invaluable. Sir Gareth Southgate 👏👏 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00293l…

Another example of the progress required around women’s sport. Our next generation are in, but we’re not doing enough to support their interests.
“I wish women’s football (WSL) had more competition”. My daughter feels some clubs dominate, like Arsenal but she’s disappointed that there aren’t more competitive teams. Women’s sport needs more investment! Our young have moved forward, we need investors to move with them!

What passion!
Gael Monfils’ reaction after beating Taylor Fritz to reach Australian Open R16. He immediately starts dancing. Take a look at the joy on this guy’s face. 38 years old… one of a kind athlete and human being. Inject this into my veins. 🥹

There are some standout stats in this! E.g. @Richmond_FC players and management having a huge impact on the positive connection to the club, significantly higher than any other winter league team.
