This chapter outlined how organizations must align HR programs (and therefore employee behaviours) with corporate strategy, using predominantly businesses as examples. But here are two mini-cases about how sports (tennis and baseball) can use the same principles of HR planning to achieve goals.
1. Canada had never had a tennis player in the top 10 rankings of the best players in the world. And yet, in 2014 Milos Raonic was ranked 6, Eugenie Bouchard was ranked 7, and Vasek Pospisil won doubles at Wimbledon. Was this just a lucky streak of talented players emerging?
Not at all. It was a plan, started 10 years ago. First, Tennis Canada built two excellent tournament facilities: The Rexall Centre in Toronto and the Uniprix Stadium in Montreal, generating more revenue and more sponsorship, money available for player (talent) development soared from $4 million to $12 million. But other countries had even more money to spend on player development. So the next steps were critical to the success. Tennis Canada established a national training centre in Montreal, recruited a coach who had coached top players in Europe, and selected only 10-12 adolescents who had demonstrated exceptional skills and motivation, who go to school in the morning, and then spend 5 hours training in the afternoon. They are supported extensively, with coaching sessions in Europe, and travel to tournaments around the world. And this new plan worked! Check out the new talent emerging from this pipeline and making headlines in Canada.
What are the important behaviours for sports players in individual (not team) sports? What (HR) programs can be used to generate these behaviours?
