AGILE SPORTS MANIFESTO

The AGILE SPORTS MANIFASTO - Values and Principles

Recommended Reading Time: 10 to 15 Minutes, Time of Retrospective: 15 to 30 Minutes

 

We believe strongly in the four core values, while we value the statement on top more then the statement on the bottom. 

  • Individual and interactive athlete centric values

    over

    default exercise and training

  • Holistic, sustainable and agile sports performance

    over

    “Faster, Stronger, Higher“

  • Stakeholder collaboration

    over

    top-down actions

  • Responding to change and empirical learning

    over

    rigid planning

Furthermore, we want to introduce 12 principles which stand behind the AGILE SPORTS MANIFESTO.

1. Highest priority is to satisfy the needs of the athlete through transparency, inspection and adaptation

2. Welcome change as a chance under all conditions of the ecosystem

3. Inspect agile performance development frequently

4. Athletes and their whole networks / communities / platform must work together as a unity

5. Let motivated people join your network, support athletes wherever they need support

6. Effective and efficient way of communicating information by direct conversations

7. Agile performance development is the measure of progress and success

8. Athletes should maintain a constant pace of training / development indefinitely

9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good/valuable repetitions of movements is key

10. Try to use simpler approaches. Sometimes things are astonishing simple

11. The best agile performance emerges from a good working and self-organizing team

12. At regular intervals, the team reflects how to become more effective in all parts of their life
