Unfairness is everywhere, and it really grinds my gears. We may not be able to change the world, but we can change parts of it. And this is why we are building this sports movement.
This morning in a meeting, I asked my colleague Natalie du Toit about the unfairness in swimming – or my perception of it. Having to have the right coach and go to the right school and having to go to the right meets – and her answer stunned me.
Instead of agreeing that the playing field was far from being level, she said that ‘that is just the way it was’ – and that is the narrative we have learnt to believe. That some parents and clubs and some schools can afford the better coaches and the better equipment and that is just the way it is. Natalie obviously had that winning temperament since she was a little girl – way before she earned those 13 gold medals in the Olympics. Some other kids had it better. She didn’t. Yet she slayed it, despite circumstances. And this make me want to scream. It is unfair that kids are left behind without hope due to parents’ circumstances, or the economic climate they grow up in.
By putting our PODs in your hands, you can break these chains. We are going to equip you to be independent and that will give you access to success. Success is not defined by medals, success is your best. Define yourself. PODs can help level the field by letting you decide what you need to succeed in your sports discipline – and if you are not active yourself, help your grandchild. Or your godchild or someone who needs it – this will make you part of the movement and let you play a very important role. Imagine seeing someone medal in Tokyo or Paris and knowing you helped to get them there…. stuff that makes you PROUD inside. With SportsPodium, dreams don’t have to end up in your head – join our movement and let’s make those dreams come true and head towards the podium and not leave them on your pillowcase.
