NJD Global have outlined their top three factors that businesses can learn from sports:

The language used

The language used in both industries is similar: team work, competition, and the drive to win.

Team work: The very definition of the word team - together everyone achieves more - applies in business and sport. To be successful in business and sport involves bringing together a group of people with different skills, in order to achieve a particular objective.

Competition: Being competitive and having competition is vital to make sure everyone stays on their a-game. Without competition there is nothing to drive people to be the best they can be.

Will to win: In sport winning is everything, and that same mentality crosses over into business too. Having a winning mentality pushes people to achieve the best results, never settling for the position they are in.

Elite athletes are not born, they are made.

The most successful sports men and women are a product of their commitment, determination and environment. Obviously there has to be some natural ability, just as successful business owners but it is grit and determination that takes people to the top. The real key to sustained excellence for both elite sports and business leaders is the development of mental toughness.

What lessons can they bring to business? For the very best athletes, making it to the top is the result of very careful planning, setting and hitting hundreds of small goals. Reaching the top is incredibly difficult but nothing compared to what it takes to stay there. Expectations are enormous, and they then become the benchmark for every other competitor. Sustained success requires astounding physical ability and an extraordinary mind-set too. The positive and resilient mind-sets of the best athletes underpin their drive and ability to reinvent themselves continuously in order to stay ahead of the pack.

Top athletes take time to celebrate their victories

Taking time to celebrate every victory, big or small, helps remind them why all the hard work and commitment is worthwhile. In today's roller coaster business world, companies need to spend time celebrating successes, however small they may be. Every victory brings them close to their end goal.

At NJD Global, Managing Director Neil Dillon has implemented many of his sporting beliefs. Having a winning mentality and competitive nature has helped the firm to stand out in the highly competitive marketing industry. Businesses can take many lessons from top athletes and sports teams.
