Be Interactive Examine the Relationship Between Sport and Business Skills

    BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, November 02, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With the company's MD having recently reached an athletic milestone, the firm has examined the relationship between sport and business.

This summer has been an extravaganza of sporting events, with the jewel in the crown being the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio. With sport having taken hold of the global headlines for the last few months, it's no surprise that people across the world are beginning to get serious about sport and invest more effort into improving their sports skills.

As well as the significant health benefits this sporting epidemic is set to encourage, Be Interactive believe that this growing interest in sport could help young professionals fast track their career success. The firm has long recognised a correlation between the skills needed to succeed in both sporting activities and the business environment.

To succeed in sport, an individual must have drive and a competitive edge, a will to win and ability to overcome mental barriers and doubt. However, these qualities are also crucial to those looking to achieve success in a competitive business environment. Every successful businessperson has at some point, encountered setbacks and failures on their journey to the top. However much like a professional athlete, having a fighting spirit and a desire to succeed allows these individuals to stand out from their competitors and gain a significant advantage.

Playing competitive sport is a great way for people to learn how to deal with failure, which is an important lesson for anyone considering going into business. For those who experienced great academic success early on in life, learning to accept and grow from failure can be a challenging experience. However, having experience in playing sport can help dramatically. To increase performance, athletes are constantly evaluating their performances, and looking for weaknesses that need to be improved on. As such, those with sporting experience are fully educated on the importance of taking control of their own progression, and understand that failure is an opportunity for growth, and not a negative disruption.

Managing Director of Be Interactive Pty Eddie Brennan recently put these transferable skills to the test by competing in a half marathon. In preparation for the marathon, Mr Brennan turned to the skills he had learnt in the business world, such as time management, self-discipline and goal-setting to help him complete the event.

With sport and business skills being so closely related and transferable between both fields, Be Interactive Pty is keen to hear from young business professionals with a background or interest in sport. The firm believes that utilising these skills can give young professionals a significant head start when it comes to building a successful future in business.
