Canadian High Jumping legend Debbie Brill talks about developing the 'Brill Bend,' comparisons to the 'Fosbury Flop' [and her relationship with Dick Fosbury], jumping [and breaking world records] into her 50s, her positive interview experiences on the CBC with Adrienne Clarkson and Peter Gzowski, reaching that zen place of being ‘one with the jump,' sharing a good chuckle with Queen Elizabeth, and why jumping ridiculously high was essentially “just this trick I could do for fun!” Debbie will be inducted into the Trailblazer category at Canada's Sports Hall of Fame on October 23rd in Gatineau, Quebec...for more information, please visit Canada's Sports Hall of Fame at http://www.sportshall.ca/ and the Order of Sport Awards at https://orderofsport.ca/ Thanks to Jason Beck [@jasonbeck82] for some great research material!

This is a talk-through of a General Training Reading Passage 3. The text tells the story of the 'Fosbury Flop', which is a high-jump technique developed by a 21 year-old university student from the USA called Dick Fosbury in the late 1960s.

México'68, a toda revolución. Durante estos Juegos Olímpicos, aparecieron dos grandes nombres que cambiaron para siempre la forma de saltar. Un tal Dick Fosbury, que empezó a hacer salto de altura saltando de espaldas. Y un tal Bob Beamon, que pulverizó el récord de salto de longitud. Además, aparecieron, por primera vez, los chicos del Black Power, levantando el puño enguantado para reivindicar los Derechos Humanos... y pagaron las consecuencias. David Botello (@DavidBotello4) y Esther Sánchez (@estesan1969), acompañados por Ainara Ariztoy y José Luis Llorente, viajan hasta allí. Si quieres acompañarlos, ¡súbete a la Historia!
The only way to “coast” is when you're going downhill. Even on a plateau, you have to pedal to keep moving. However, there is a way to “coast uphill.” To succeed, businesses must keep growing. And to keep growing, they must innovate. No business can grow simply by solving problems and “fixing” things (or, worse, blaming people). Problem-solving keeps you afloat, but it doesn't raise the water level or get you into a boat. There are three kinds of innovation, and we speak in this session about what they are, why they are important, and who exemplifies them. As social proof, we discuss avatars in these areas, from the Wright Brothers to Fred Smith and Jeff Bezos. Innovation is not the result of “skunk works,” outdoor experiences, or building sand castles. It is the result of a constant focus on improvement, finding promoting actions to enable it, and exploitative actions to capitalize on it. There was only running, no passing in football, until someone decided to try throwing the ball. The high jump was a standard competition with inches of difference until Dick Fosbury decided to jump over the bar head and back first, which everyone now does at much higher levels. How much more exciting is basketball with the advent of the three-point line? Schumpeter called innovation “creative destruction.” And I call it “applied creativity.” Learn why herein.
I am going to talk about a story that is near and dear to me. I have told this story and its importance to creative business many times. I have even told it at a college commencement speech I was so honored to give a few years ago. It is the story of Dick Fosbury and his path to winning the gold medal for the high jump in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. You might say, huh? What does this have to do with my business? Well, close your eyes, jump over the bar backwards and lets find out if you will land safely.

Bazen sporcular tüm limitlerini zorlasa da, kimi zaman branşlar tıkanma noktasına geliyor. Bazı dünya rekorları yıllardır kırılamıyor. Kimi zaman da bu durumda farklı bir şey yapmak gerekiyor. Yüksek atlama 1960'larda popülerliğini yitirme tehlikesiyle karşı karşıyaydı. Rekorlar durmuş, dereceler de bayağı geri gitmişti. İşte 1968 Meksika Olimpiyat Oyunları'nda ortaya çıkan bir atlet sanki pelerin giymişti. Herkesin yüzü dönük atladığı yerde, çıtaya arkasını dönerek zıplayan Dick Fosbury devrim yaratmıştı. Berna Abik'in sunumuyla dünden bugüne olimpiyat tarihinin anlatıldığı '60 Saniyede Olimpiyatlar' video serisinin yeni bölümünde yüksek atlama branşında çığır açan sporcu var. Video

We've had the new Hoka Clifton 9 and Rocket X 2 on our feet and we tell you how they ride. Then, in our main segment, let's put 16 of the greatest male marathoners ever in a NCAA-basketball-style March Madness bracket and see who emerges as the greatest of all time (in the non-Kipchoge division). And finally, we conclude with an ode to high jumping legend Dick Fosbury.
Mexico City, Olympic Games, 1968. The stadium is packed, the wider world looks on via TV coverage. Everywhere there's an air of expectancy but also an awareness that at such high altitude it's going to be hard for athletes to beat their best. Records are there to be broken, you have to hope for something special.And in the high jump event they weren't disappointed. The record for men's high jump had hovered around 2.23 m for several years. But a young 21-year-old was about to change that; Dick Fosbury, representing the USA broke this with a height of 2.24 m and won the gold medal. The ‘Fosbury flop' as it quickly became known opened up new possibilities for the sport; within ten years it had become the dominant mode for all jumpers and helped move the world record to 2.45 m which was set in 1993 by Javier Sotomayor. These days anyone attempting the high jump has come to resemble the ‘fish flopping on the deck of a boat' as one newspaperman described Fosbury's Mexico model.What Fosbury's feat reminds us of is the power of reframing in innovation. Innovation can take place anywhere along a continuum from doing what we do better — incremental — to doing something completely different — radical. And it can cover what we offer the world — product or service — and the ways we create a deliver that offering — process. That gives us plenty to keep us busy in our innovation day.But sometimes we can reframe, look at what we're doing in a different way, identify novel approaches.You can find a transcript of this podcast hereAnd a video version hereIf you'd like to explore more innovation stories, or access a wide range of resources to help work with innovation, then please visit my website here.You can find a rich variety of cases, tools, videos, activities and other resources - as well as my innovation blog.Or subscribe to my YouTube channel here

In Episode 93 we discuss the fallout from the Gary Lineker and BBC situation, and ask whether both sides could have handled things differently? Getting back on the field – where we much prefer to be – we look back at the weekend's 6 Nations Rugby and England's humbling at the hands of France, Ireland's next step towards a Grand Slam in Edinburgh and a Welsh win in Rome. In the Northern variant of Rugby (League) we run through the results from the weekend, with Warrington and Catalans continuing their unbeaten starts to the season. In Cricket, Bangladesh completed a 3-0 series win over England in the T20 series, but there is a silver lining for the Three Lions team with the appointment of Australian bowling coach David Saker ahead of this year's Ashes and World Cup. Hurling gets a first ever appearance on our show, with Andy having been hooked by coverage of the bottom of the table battle between Antrim and Laois with Antrim's win condemning the visitors to having to play off for their Division One future. In Athletics we mourn the sad passing of Dick Fosbury- the man who revolutionised the high jump with his “flop” jumping style. We're joined by our football correspondent Billy Carr, to give us the latest at both the top and bottom of the Premier League as well as how he sees things playing out as the title and relegations races enter their final lap. Yet again another fantastic episode.

The man who changed the high jump forever, Dick Fosbury, has passed away aged 76. The American developed an alternative technique to the 'scissor kick' used by athletes, going on to win a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics. His unique way of clearing the bar soon became the technique all high jumpers used and the term Fosbury Flop was coined. David Ford spent time with Fosbury as his acupuncturist. He talks to Jesse about him and his legacy.

In 1968, American high jumper Dick Fosbury introduced a new way to compete in the high jump. His new technique worked so well that he won an Olympic gold medal, and within a few years, everyone used his method of high jumping. Fosbury's innovation isn't the only one in the track and field world. There have been several other technique innovations in other events, which have been shown dramatically improve performance. Learn about the track and field techniques which would smash world records (if they weren't illegal) on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In this episode, Rachel Johnson shares the story of high jumper Dick Fosbury. At first, he was branded a failure in the eyes of the media and sporting community but then something remarkable happened.

Dick Fosbury is considered one of the most influential athletes in the history of track & field. Why? Because he was good at something that no one did. Tune in for the rest of the story
Dick Fosbury changed the sport of high jumping forever the first time he jumped backward over the bar. Until then, every competitor had launched themselves into the air going forward, belly over the bar. I'm not sure the last time you watched a high jumping event, but now every high jumper uses Dick's technique. He essentially exploited a flaw in the high jumping world that no-one else was paying attention to. In a way that's basically what arbitrage is when it comes to our personal finances- it's about thinking creatively about the different financial hurdles in our lives. It's about challenging the assumptions we're faced with. We'll cover some very clear forms of arbitrage that you might already be implementing, some problems with arbitrage, and then how you can begin developing more of an arbitrage mindset today.

Dick Fosbury revolutionierte den Hochsprung. Er erfand den Fosbury-Flop, bei dem der Athlet die Latte rückwärts überquert.
At the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, Dick Fosbury won the Gold Medal in the men’s high jump. He did it by jumping an Olympic record 2.24 meters or 7 feet, four inches. What was remarkable about his accomplishment wasn’t the height he jumped, but how it did it. He didn’t just win a gold medal, he revolutionized the sport of high jumping.

I mercati sono sempre più oceani mossi da correnti impetuose e imprevedibili. Possiamo lamentarci, oppure imparare a governare l'onda e scoprire che, magari, può anche essere divertente! Nessuna impresa può permettersi di fare scelte strategiche per il business facendo tentativi e basandosi su fattori quali l'intuito, la creatività o l'esperienza di qualche manager. Le aziende necessitano di strumenti che consentano di avere indicazioni chiare e non opinabili. Sistemi che guidino le imprese attraverso la via strategica più corretta e più efficace, senza sprecare risorse. Il marketing scientifico rappresenta l'applicazione del metodo scientifico all'interno del marketing. In questo speech ti spiegherò i principi del marketing scientifico e come applicarli, da subito, in azienda, qualunque sia la dimensione e il settore di appartenenza. Il tutto, per prendere decisioni migliori in meno tempo. Perché partecipare: 1. Per confrontarsi sul mindset necessario ad affrontare rischi e opportunità dei mercati attuali 2. Per apprendere approcci, metodi e strumenti di marketing scientifico 3. Per mettersi subito alla prova con veloci simulazioni 4. Perché spiegherò il marketing scientifico attraverso concetti semplici e divertenti, passando da Kevin Clancy a Indiana Jones, dal MIT di Boston a Rambo, dalla difesa del MOL a Dick Fosbury. (Sono convinto che anche le cose serie e complesse possono essere raccontate in modo semplice e diretto. Chi “parla difficile” ha poche cose da dire.) Sai davvero su cosa puntare per emergere o speri nella buona sorte?

John Radetich joined the Beaver Tales Podcast back in June to talk about setting the indoor high jump world record in 1973, jumping 7 feet, 4.75 inches. This time on the podcast, we talk about his second world record: in 1976, he cleared 7 feet, 6 inches with ease.Maybe the best part of the conversation was about how long it took for his world record to be broken (spoiler alert, it was pretty soon after). He's also got some great memories with his Oregon State teammate and fellow high jump legend, Dick Fosbury.---Interested in listening to the Beaver Tales Documentaries?

È un battito profondo, ancestrale, qualcosa che esce da abissi e antri arcani. Il salto lo sta chiamando. È lì davanti a lui e a quell’asticella. Lo attende, lo convoca silenziosamente davanti a un emiciclo di tartan rosso, aimargini di un prato verde e di uno stadio affollato. Cinque giudici in giacca amaranto e trilby discutono sottovoce. L’atleta alto e smilzo che indossa la canottiera blu con il pettorale 272 è lì in piedi davanti a loro e al mondo. Il salto lo chiama. Adesso può andare a prenderlo.

One Hit Wonder - Aquella vez y nunca más. (2018) Dick Fosbury, el saltador que cambió todo.
021: Kannst Du Dich noch erinnern, wie Dein Umfeld irritiert reagierte, als Du gesagt hast: "Ich werde Personal Trainer." Oftmals ist die erste Reaktion darauf: "Was willst Du werden? P E R S O N A L T R A I N E R ? Was ist das denn? Dafür gibt doch keiner Geld aus. Und bei uns funktioniert das sowieso nicht. Das mach mal lieber nicht." Leider höre ich genau das immer wieder von vielen Personal Trainern. Das persönlioche Umfeld reagiert sehr iritiert und verwundert und wünschst sich doch lieber einen "vernünftigen" Beruf. Mit meinem Podcast möchte ich Dich heute um so mehr ermutigen, Deiner Vision als Personal Trainer zu arbeiten, (weiter) zu folgen. Gib nicht auf und lass Dich von solchen Meinungen und Glaubenssätzen nicht abhalten. Inspiriert wurde ich beim heutigen Podcast von Dick Fosbury. Er pulverisierte am 20.10.1968 um sage und schreibe 50cm den olympischen Rekord im Hochsprung durch seine neue FLOP-Technik. Stell Dir vor, er hätte auf die vielen tausend Menschen gehört, die da sagten: "Das macht man nicht. Keiner springt rückwärts über die Latte. Das hat man noch nie gemacht." Vermutlich würden wir heute immer noch bauchwärts darüber "rollen". Manchmal muss man eben einen FLOP landen, um erfolgreich zu sein. Ich freue mich, wenn Dir mein heutiger Podcast viel Mut macht und Dich inspiriert. Baue Dir Dein optimales Team um Dich auf. Ich wünsche Dir von Herzen Erfolg dabei. Scheue Dich nicht, mir Deine Fragen per Mail zukommen zu lassen. Du findest weitere Informationen rund um das Thema Personal Training und mich in meinem Blog: https://eginhard-kiess.de/blog-personal-training/
Mike and Jon talk with Olympic Gold Medalist and former Beaver track star Dick Fosbury.
Around the Rings editor Ed Hula interviews Dick Fosbury for this edition of ATRadio. Dick Fosbury, known for the "Fosbury Flop" which uses a back first technique, is an influential leader of track and field and won the gold medal in the 1968 Olympics.
Todos lo sabemos, 1968 es un año de contrastes, de luces y sombras. Los momentos sombríos son tenebrosos y los pasajes luminosos son prístinos. En octubre se conmemora otro acontecimiento relevante en el devenir histórico de México: la inauguración y celebración de los XIX Juegos Olímpicos en la cd de México. Un evento que marca un parteaguas en la historia visual de nuestro país. Primeros Juegos Olímpicos que contaron con una identidad visual, de la que derivó una robusta arquitectura visual. Un equipo de trabajo con múltiples integrantes bajo el comando del Arq. Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, en el siguiente nivel de mando estuvieron tanto el Arq. Eduardo Terrazas como la Sra. Beatrice Trueblood, coordinando a un gran grupo de creativos. Entre ellos tenemos a José Luis Ortiz Téllez, un joven diseñador, egresado de esta casa de estudios, de gran sensibilidad y capacidad de trabajo, mano derecha del famoso Lance Wyman, quien ventajosamente se ha adjudicado la autoría total de la creación de dicha identidad visual. Logo Mexico 68 Oficialmente conocidos como los Juegos de la XIX Olimpiada, fueron celebrados en la Ciudad de México, entre el 12 y el 27 de octubre de 1968. La Ciudad de México había sido candidata a los Juegos Olímpicos en 1956 y en 1960, sin embargo, en ambas ocasiones las candidaturas fracasaron al recibir un mínimo de votos durante la elección. Finalmente en 1963, la ciudad fue seleccionada como sede de los Juegos. A partir de ese momento se constituyó formalmente el Comité Organizador que trabajó de manera conjunta con el Gobierno Mexicano y algunas secretarías de Estado en la organización de los Juegos. Estos fueron los primeros Juegos organizados por un país en vías de desarrollo, por una nación hispanohablante y los primeros realizados en Latinoamérica. Fueron también los terceros celebrados en otoño y los primeros con controles antidopaje y de género. Además, hizo su aparición la Olimpiada cultural. Cuenta con grandes hitos dentro de las gestas olímpicas, como el del atleta norteamericano Bob Beamon, quien impuso una monumental marca en el salto largo con 8.90 metros. O el caso de Dick Fosbury, quien creó una innovadora técnica llamada “Fosbury flop”. Otro de ellos es el del corredor de velocidad norteamericano James Hines, quien en la final de los 100 metros planos logró un registro oficial de 9.95”. A decir del Comité Olímpico Internacional la candidatura de México a los Juegos Olímpicos de 1968 “se basó fundamentalmente en las instalaciones existentes y la experiencia en eventos anteriores”. El Comité Olímpico Mexicano designó en un principio al ex presidente Adolfo López Mateos, pero renunció en 1965 por razones de salud. En su reemplazo se eligió al Arq. Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, cuya visión integral permitió alcanzar niveles nunca antes vistos en la celebración de estos Juegos. El programa olímpico de esa época presentaba 20 competencias, en rememoración a los juegos celebrados en la antigüedad en la península Helénica, el Arq. Ramírez Vázquez propuso la creación de una Olimpiada cultural compuesta también de 20 eventos.
di Riccardo GazzanigaNon solo Tommie Smith e John Carlos. Le Olimpiadi messicane sono passate alla storia per le imprese di tanti altri atleti. Su tutti Bob Beamon, l'uomo che il 18 ottobre del 1968 vede il fulmine e nel salto in lungo strabilia il mondo con un volo incredibile. Nel salto in alto, invece, Dick Fosbury non riesce a battere il record mondiale, ma il suo impatto sarà ancora più rivoluzionario, cambiando per sempre quella disciplina. Oltre a Smith e Carlos, c'è qualcun altro che si fa notare non solo per i risultati sportivi, ma anche per un gesto di protesta forse ancor più clamoroso di quello dei velocisti americani. E' la ginnasta ceca Věra Čáslavská, capace di vincere 4 ori, 1 argento, e di esprimere sul podio un clamoroso dissenso nei confronti dell'Unione Sovietica, per il modo in cui ha soffocato nel sangue la Primavera di Praga. Negli ultimi giorni dei giochi, a mettersi in luce è invece un giovane pugile dalla potenza terrificante: George Foreman schianta gli avversari sognando di diventare il nuovo Alì, ignaro che sarà proprio Alì a segnare in maniera indelebile il suo destino. Già, perché la chiusura delle Olimpiadi è solo un passaggio, e non il capitolo finale nella storia di tutti i personaggi di questa storia.
How a man named Dick Fosbury changed high jump forever.
Scrawny nerd Dick Fosbury struggled at high school sports. He couldn’t make the football team. Or the basketball team. And he didn’t make the cut for the high jump team his first year — the sport he had spent so much time training for. But there he was in 1968 about to jump for Olympic gold...

The reason why we find writing to be such a tedious task, is because we don't understand the barriers that get in our way. Instead, we write, edit, write, edit — and drive ourselves crazy. One of the ways to get over the barriers is to use the Captain Kirk and Mr Spock method. What is this method all about?

You look at the newspapers that day and there is the Los Angeles Times and they’re saying that he goes over the bar like a guy being pushed out off a 30-storey window. Then you flip to the next newspaper which is The Guardian and it says, “He is the curiosity of the team.” Then you pick up the magazine Sports Illustrated and it says, “He charges up from slightly to the left of center with a gait that may call to mind a two-legged camel.” We’re talking about Dick Fosbury here, the guy who first did the Fosbury flop. While all these newspapers and magazines seem to make fun of Dick Fosbury, it’s unlike he had a great opinion of himself either. It’s unlike Dick Fosbury was arguing with their comments because at college someone bet him that he couldn’t get over a leather chair. He couldn’t jump over that leather chair and he said he tried, but not only did he lose his bet but he also broke his hand in the crash landing. In 1968, when he arrived at the Mexico Olympics he was relatively unknown and yet days later he not only captured the imagination of the Mexican public, but also the rest of the world. He sailed over the bar at 2.24 meters, which is 7 feet and 4 inches. It wasn’t that he sailed over because that wasn’t the world record. It’s that he did it by overcoming the obstacle with his crazy jump which was called the Fosbury flop. What’s interesting about the Fosbury flop is that no one ever did that kind of flop before. No one ever tried to get over the bar in that manner. It was considered extremely weird, extremely camel-like and yet today it’s extremely weird to see people jumping over the bar as they did back in 1968. Today the Fosbury flop is the way people jump over a bar at the Olympics in any sports stadium. What Fosbury did was he looked at the obstacle and he said, “Let me get over this in another way because there’s no way I’m going to be able to do it the usual way.” That’s really what this podcast is all about. We’re going to look at writing and why we struggle with writing, why we have these obstacles with writing. If we go about it the way we’ve always done, that doesn’t seem to work for us because you’re going about it the same way that I used to do back in the year 2000 where I would look at the article and then try to write it and then spend a day, spend 2 days writing that article and getting very frustrated and not knowing what was going wrong. We have to look at the obstacle that bar and look at how we can over that bar in a completely different way. That’s what this podcast is going to cover. We’re going to cover 3 things. The first thing is about editing. The second thing is about preparation and the third is about the one word or the one term. As always, we’ll start with the first, which is editing. Part One: Editing I love making a rice dish called biryani. It is a dish meant for kings. It has all of these yummy elements. If you’ve ever eaten a biryani, you know exactly what I mean. Here’s how you go about making a biryani. You have to get all the things together, like spices and the yogurt and other stuff like saffron and ghee, which is a clarified butter. When you get all of those things together, you got some onions. In fact, you got a lot of onions and then you caramelised the onions. When all of that is done you, marinate it. A few hours later it’s time to cook the biryani. I put it all in a dish, which we call handi. You would call it a saucepan. Before I turn on the flame I have to do one very important thing. I have to seal the handi or the saucepan with dough so that it becomes like a pressure cooker and the meat cooks in it and the rice cooks in it and all the flavours cook within it and it’s all sealed you can’t get in. Did you notice the problem? Sure, you did. It was the dough. It sealed the vessel. There is no way to know whether the rice is cooked or the chicken is still raw. The dough prevents me from editing. Editing is the first big obstacle to writing. Why? Because the writer and the editor are 2 completely different people. The writer is like Captain Kirk; you watched Star Trek, didn’t you? The writer is like Captain Kirk and Captain Kirk has all these great ideas. He wants to go where no man has ever gone before and he is a bit out there. Then you have Spock and he needs to be logical and that’s how your editor acts every single time. We have these 2 people, 2 completely different people and they’re at log ahead with each other. What we do when we write is we put both of those people on the same seat. Of course they’re going to fight. Of course they’re going to continuously argue with each other and of course that’s your obstacle, isn’t it? You’re not going to get over that obstacle because you’re treating both of them as the same person when they were completely different. The first thing you’ve got to realise is that it’s not Captain Spock, it’s Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. You’ve got to start with the writing process and then let it marinate and several hours later you have to bring in Mr. Spock. Just like the biryani, you’ve got to let that marination process take its own sweet time. You probably want to write at one part of the day and then one look at it maybe later in the day or even the next day. This is what I had to do when I first started out. I was not very good at writing. I was not very quick at writing. I would send my article to a friend and a client, whose name is Chris Ellington. Chris would look over it and then fix it and he had a million fixes and then it will come back and then I would send it out again this time to Rochelle. Rochelle would look at all the grammar and fix it and all of this editing process would drive me absolutely crazy plus there was my own creative output as it were. This is the process. There is the writer and the editor. There is this time in between and what we do is we make a Captain Spock out of it. Of course it doesn’t work and there is no reason why it should work, because editing and writing just do not mix. That’s our first-grade obstacle and we have to learn that we’re going to have to do thing differently, do a bit of a Fosbury flop if we want to get over that bar and write great content. This takes us to the second one and the second one is all about preparation. Part 2: Preparation On June 29, 2007, Pixar released a movie about a rat and it was called Ratatouille. It was a story about an inspiring chef called Linguini and her rat called Remy, a rat that loved to cook. Speaker 1: Animation is a very, very complicated business. There’s hundreds of people involved in the actual production. Speaker 2: Many things that we take for granted in real life are difficult to do in the computer. Speaker 3: Pixar is really very good at addressing complex problems. By far, this is the most complicated clothing that we’ve done. Speaker 4: We went to a special sequence on that with the character with Linguini jumps into the sand to try and save Remy. He comes out dripping wet and we had to try and figure out a way to get that look when claw sticks to the skin and you can see just a little bit of colour coming through it. Speaker 5: What do we do? We abused one of our poor coworkers. We make him dressed up in a chest outfit. We doused him with water and we filmed him. What does it look like? We’re on the clothing. Can you see it through to his skin? Where do the chips come off from his face? It’s our excuse to abuse coworkers actually not to think about it. Sean D’Souza: What you just heard in that clip is preparation, preparation and more preparation. The reason why Pixar has to do so much preparation is because they’re not amateurs. They have million dollar budgets and of course they’re wasting a lot of money. They’re also wasting time and they’re wasting energy. When you think about it, that’s exactly what we do when we sit down to write. We don’t create that moment of preparationor really that hour of preparation and that’s how you know the difference between an amateur and a professional. The amateur just sits down and begins to write. They sit at their computer and they decide, “I’m going to write an article today. I’m going to create a podcast today. I’m going to create a webinar.” The professional on the other hand sits down to plan. I was to listening to a podcast earlier today and there was this interview between Brian Orr and Jeff Brown. Jeff worked in the radio industry for many, many years and now he has his own podcast. He was talking about how people just show up on podcast and they start to ask questions and they don’t prepare and how all the preparation is critical. If you listen to Ira Glass on This American Life and he’s on videos on YouTube, he talks about the preparation and how finding the stories takes half the week even though they have so many people in their staff. We think, “We’re just business people. We just have to write an article. Let’s sit down and write,” and that’s not how professionals work. You are a professional when you sit down to write and therefore you have to sit down to plan. What are you going to plan? You’ve got to figure out what topic are you going to cover, what one word are you going to cover, what 3 sub-topics you’re going to cover or at least how you’re going to structure the article, how you’re going to structure this podcast. When I sit down to do this podcast, most of the work is done outside. Admittedly, the music takes a lot of time but the podcast takes only about 45 minutes to record and it takes me an hour and a half to put all the details together, sometimes longer. I’ll go to the cafe. I’ll sit don and I’ll put it all together. You can see a photograph of that. I’ll put it in the show notes. It takes a lot of preparation to create something that is more than average and that’s what professionals do. This is the obstacle that we run into. It’s not I don’t try to beat the system. I try it. I’ll show up here at 4am and I’ll try to record a podcast and then it’s 4:30 and 4:45 and then 5:30. It’s very, very frustrating and so I’ve given up. I’ve totally given up. Every time I want to record a podcast I will go to the cafe and sit there and plan. I don’t have the time that’s why I go and that’s why I plan and this is what professionals do. They plan before they execute. They get the ingredients, put the biryani in the fridge, let it marinate and then later they are cooking it. Amateurs? We just go there and we cook it right away as if something magical is going to happen. We’ve looked at 2 main obstacles and the first one was editing, the fact that we get Captain Spock together instead of having Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. The second thing is this whole factor of preparation and how we want to bypass that process of marination. This takes us to the third part, which is the one word or the one term. Part 3: One Word This podcast started with the story about Dick Fosbury. You have to ask yourself, “Why did that story exist? What is the point of that story?” the story was about obstacles and overcoming those obstacles, but why did the story matter? The story mattered because of that one word or one term and in this case the one term is a different perspective. Right until that moment in Mexico when Dick Fosbury sailed over the bar like a 2-legged camel, there was only one perspective and that perspective was to jump over it, straddle over it. He went over in a completely different way. The one term is about different perspective and that’s how we look at the entire article. We didn’t go about how do we construct our article and what is the structure of the article, but we looked at things that stop us. We don’t realise that they’re stopping us and that is editing and preparation and the one word that one word or one term which is different perspective. It allows me to do both the preparation and the editing. When I’m preparing, I’m thinking of how can I have a different perspective on article writing. Then when I’m done and Mr. Editor has to show up, at point in time I’m going, “Did I do this? Did I actually adhere to the one word or one term?” In a way the one word or one term satisfies the needs of those fresh 2 guys, which is preparation and editing and he does so, so brilliantly. When you’re siting down to write something, create something ask yourself, “What is the one thing that I want to convey here? What is that endpoint?” Once you know the one word or one term you will be able to communicate in a way that you’ve never communicated before. You’d be able to edit it in a way that you’ve never done before. Can it be more than one word or one term? One term is a couple of words. Maybe you could stretch it to 3 words. The problem is that you may want to put in 3 words or 4 words or 5 words to describe your article and the further away you go from one word the more complicated it becomes. It’s very, very hard to then edit something or nail it down so find one word. Ask yourself, “What am I going to talk about today? Is it endeavour or is it scarcity or is it premium?” The point is once you get the one word and the one term that becomes a lot simpler and that’s really what we want. Summary That brings us to the end of this podcast. What did we cover today? We covered 3 things. The first thing was the factor of editing that the editor and the writer they’re 2 different people. They show up at different times of day, probably on different days as well. When you write and you edit on the same day or write and edit, write and edit, write and edit, thank you. You’re just frustrating yourself and driving yourselves completely crazy. Do not edit. Come back another day. Do not become Captain Spock. The second thing is the preparation. The professionals they don’t sit down to write. They don’t sit down to create. They sit down to plan. You need to go away somewhere. Plan, come back then you start to write. If you have to learn how to write, you can deconstruct say this piece because it’s there. It’s there in the show notes. You can deconstruct how it is created and then recreate it or you can do an article-writing course and learn how structure is built and how articles come together and how podcast come together and how … It’s all based on structure and once you understand the structure it’s just a matter of unfolding it like any language. The third thing that we covered was one word. The one word comes before you head out to the cafe, before you sit down to plan. It’s what am I going to cover today, what is that one thing that I want my audience to get. Once you know that and you should know that, then it’s very simple or rather a lot simpler to get to the end result. What’s the one thing that you can do today? The one thing that you should do today is just sit now and say, “I’m going to write an article. What is the one word that I’m going to cover?” If you’re not sure what you should do, I would suggest you go to the show notes and look at some of the links that I put there. Then deconstruct it and see how you can actually work out what one word was I trying to cover. You’ll start to see a pattern and once you get that pattern you will learn how to do it yourself.. Of course there is no substitute for being with a good teacher and I am a good teacher and you know that. I’m going to be there alive in Nashville, Tennessee and then in Amsterdam in The Netherlands and we’re going to do a storytelling workshop. I don’t know if you noticed, but I’m sure you did, this podcast and every podcast is full of stories and that’s what keeps you going. As you’re walking, as you’re driving, suddenly in the middle of all those facts and figures there’s the story unfolding how does that story unfold. When you read the book The Brain Audit or you read the book on pricing or you read the book on testimonials, when you read those books you don’t always know why you like the book so much. Sure there’s a structure. Sure there’s a system, but more critically there are case studies and examples and analogies and stories and that’s what keeps the progression going ahead. Fact and figures they are very good but they are very tiring. Storytelling becomes very critical. It’s not only critical to get the message across in a meaningful way, but it’s also very helpful to know how to construct stories so that your audience remembers them. There are lots of storytelling books and there are lots of storytelling workshops, so why is this one going to be different? This one is different because this is storytelling versus storytelling. When you open a book on storytelling, essentially they’re teaching you how to write short stories or they’re telling how to write a script or a movie. Very rarely are you going to get storytelling that helps you construct stuff from business, for writing articles, for adding to podcast or seminars or just about everything that you do in business. How do you connect it back to the business? How do you create books? How do you create reports? How do you create witch stories embedded in them so they become irresistible? That’s not what most workshops and books online are going to be able to teach you and that’s why this workshop is so critical. Come join us in Nashville on the second, third and fourth of December or if you’re in Europe it’s the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth of December. You can find everything at psychotactics.com/story-telling-workshop. The prices are going up. We always raise prices and they’re going to go up every 20 days or so. By the time you get to it several months later, which is when the workshop begins, it will be at its highest price. We are still in the early bird stages so go to psychotactics.com/story-telling-workshop and we’ll see you there. If you haven’t read The Brain Audit, you should read The Brain Audit. Why? Because it’s one of the coolest business books you will ever read. It has lots of stories and it’s the barrier to the workshop. You have to rear The Brain Audit before you get there, so either the workshop and The Brain Audit or join us at 5000bc.com. That’s it for me on a Friday evening, not 4am, so that’s a little different. Bye for now. Storytelling is “persuasion with class” Does the brain actually process thoughts in a step-by-step manner? You can use all the “buy now” buttons and countdown clocks, but it just comes across as aggressive. You can use facts, figures, and yes, they all work to persuade, but storytelling does it with finesse. See how stories are used in the excerpt of The Brain Audit to get your attention with finesse.
E' il titolo dell'ultimo libro di Marco Malvaldi, storie di sport e altre scienze inesatte. Dalla rivoluzione di Dick Fosbury alla "maledetta" di Pirlo, passando per la teoria delle reti.
Fred Dove presents the highlights from Sporting Witness, the series which reveals the inside story of key moments in sporting history. It's packed with stories of endurance, personal triumph and injustices, and we hear from Martina Navratilova about the personal cost of her defection, learn how Dick Fosbury came up with his revolutionary way of high-jumping and discover why the French team turned up at the 1948 Olympics in London with a train full of wine.PHOTO: Hassiba Boulmerka of Algeria, winner of the women's 1500 metres at the 1992 Olympics.

In the 1960s, American athlete Dick Fosbury revolutionised high-jumping by inventing the 'Fosbury flop'. Instead of diving or scissor-kicking over the high-jump bar, Fosbury floated across on his back.
