Navsports update no# 1088, just kidding.
Thou it does feel like that sometimes.
Seriously I could not be happier with how Navsports is going, with all the ups and downs the future gets clearer every day.
Chief information officer and all round nice guy Marcelo, is powering ahead with the Navsports build. Functionality wise we are in a very strong position, In between snowboarding in the Japanese Alps he is fine tuning our awesome platform and is nearing the goals we set early last year.
So what next, I am glad you ask.
I have set in motion a series of events that will hopefully have Navsports Australia and Navsports North and South America fully operational by mid 2009.
Before I talk about those events I want to tell you a little story.
I have been coaching tennis for over 18 years now and early on in my coaching career I develop certain philosophies, one of the philosophies was to bring in not just better players to train with my students but professionals. Guys and girls that have been there and done that before.
Professionals that were not going to win 6-4 or 6-3 against my students but players that could flog them 6-0.
Why would I do that, well I did that to give my students a reality check for they would have to make a decision after the flogging “Do I give up and take up some other sport or do I train harder and be determined to come back another day and fight once more”.
I would never let my students play these matches without me being there as I had to observe how these professionals broke my students down and then we could work hard on them if that’s what the student wanted.
Well it works; I trained a player this way all the way to multiple Australian junior championships, a junior grand slam (Australian Open) doubles final and on to a world ATP ranking.
How does this relate to Navsports, well in a very big way it does.
I have been hitting with players of my own ability and sometimes with players that could just beat me (metaphorically speaking). I have been too blinded and scared of reality because I really did not know the reality of where I was with Navsports.
So I have taken the leap of faith and called in the big boys the guys that could flog me 6-0.
At first I was scared of getting a flogging because I thought I was already good, but I realized it’s the floggings that can make me great.
Enter Demonz Media http://www.demonzmedia.com/index.html headed by the charismatic David Barrett an IT specialist that has been there and done that.
David and his team at Demonz Media have given me that flogging I sorely needed.
Bruised and nearly broken by the brute reality of where I was with Navsports David showed me the weakness in my game, his honest opinion and belief that Navsports can be a world beater has given me the strength to hold my head high and fight on, not blindly, not ignorantly but with clarity.
Navsports weakness is neither in its ideas nor its team but in its knees and its mobility around the court.
Getting a little lower to the ground and strengthening our speed around the court would improve Navsports game tremendously and that’s what David and the Demonz crew are currently helping us on.
Making Navsports simple on the eye (getting closer to the ground) and developing a better User interface (faster navigation around the court) are the areas we are now working on.
Demonz Media are the professionals and I am so glad to have them on our Team.
