Its nearly March already, wow.
Over the last few months I have met with the Australian sports commission, club administrators and believe it or not NavSports competitors.
Getting feedback is vital to improving the site.
The feedback has been positive, in such a hugely competitive market like the internet its often difficult to stand out from all the noise.
The Crawford report which was a major review of the state of Australian sport, turned peoples heads, made them sit up and listen to the fact that Australian sport is strong in participation but weak in organisation.
Many sports bodies could lose funding because of the report, Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) chief John Coates says the Crawford Report is an insult to everyone who has worked to get Australia to where it is on the Olympic stage.
As the report was commisioned by the Federal government and recommended a review on the way funding is divided between Olympic and non Olympic sports.
Sport is big business in Australia and I believe thats whats hurting sport.
The Crawford report is a timely reminder that things have to change if we want to get back to the heyday of Australias sporting successes.
NavSports is working on three key areas to achieve this goal.
1. Make sport cheaper for people
2. Make sport more easily accessabile
3. Better accurate statistics will help grow sport
Listening to the people on the ground and the people in high places has given me a unique perspective on the state of sport in Australia.
So my team and I will keep on moving forward, building, developing and innovating NavSports to make a difference.
Thats it from me today, have a great day.

Ps, Also we are working on locking down the homepage to make NavSports easier to sign up and sign in, so a few changes are coming.
