Well...today I think I have felt the lowest I have ever been about my footy club...the Gold Coast Titans...embarrassed is something that comes to mind.
But being a glass half-full kind of person I want my club to take the hard decisions and take this valuable opportunity to rebuild this club.
To rebuild, this needs some reflection and I pose the question...If it is our Team...then what should it stand for?
Below is what I think our club needs front and centre...but this thread is not about my thoughts alone...it is about all supporters views about the question that I pose.
Here is my thoughts but I encourage you to add, delete and/or change anything I post, however it should be succinct and apply the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle.
Reputation
Our reputation in the community is more important than anything else!
Our reputation is our lifeblood to everything…sponsors, memberships, juniors (our future) and future signings. No player/s are bigger or more than important than the reputation of the club. Supporters want to be proud of their club!
Engagement
Meaningfully engage with the community…do more for charities (time to place a charity or charities on the jersey until we can gain a major sponsor…back it up with some serious engagement with that charity) and those less fortunate.
Culture
Time to reflect and/or rebuild this! Publish the culture to our community that we want/strive for…it should be the heart of all thoughts and decisions when rebuilding our reputation.
Performance
Every player/staff member is accountable for their performances…I don’t care how big a pay cheque or reputation you have…performance will determine your value to this club…now and into the future.
Education
Players/staff members should be regular participants in an education program about a wide range of community issues, developing skills and making themselves better people.
