Why Companies Hire Athletes: Dual-Career and Transition Programmes
Elite sport pre-screens for traits interviews cannot measure, and the pool is huge: 500,000 NCAA athletes a year, 50,000 former PFA members. We map dual-career and transition models, their costs, returns and the mistakes that lose athlete hires.
Do Team Sports Build Better Leaders and Teams?
Former athletes lead more and thrive more, but much of the gap is selection. We weigh Gallup, Cornell and EY evidence on team sports and leadership, name the five behaviours sport trains, and show how to hire for them fairly.
What Do Corporate Wellness and Fitness Programmes Actually Return?
Vendors claim 3:1 returns, randomised trials find none on healthcare costs, and CEOs still report positive ROI. We reconcile the 2024–2026 evidence on what corporate wellness and fitness programmes return and how a CFO should model them.
Does Workplace Sport Improve Productivity? The Evidence
Workplace sport does raise productivity, but the gain comes through presenteeism among inactive staff, not sick days. We weigh WHO, Vitality, RAND Europe and ASICS data to show what employers should expect and how to measure it.
