Legendary manager Big Ron Atkinson and Solihull Moors FC Chairman Darryl Eales are just two of the names already confirmed for an event entitled “A Sporting Mind” which will take place at Solihull Moors Football Club on the 9th of July.
Ron Atkinson
The event is an intriguing mixture of sport and business and will discuss using elite performance management techniques in business and addressing the mental health problem in sport. Set against a backdrop of sporting turmoil over the European Superleague, a massive mental health crisis and a struggling economy it is certain to stimulate a lively debate.
“I think business can learn a lot from sport,” said Ron, “there’s certainly more crossover than you’d think, and I’m looking forward to a lively debate.”
Often remembered for the controversial ending of his ITV career, Big Ron’s 28-year managerial career included spells at Manchester United and Atlético Madrid as well as West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa. He won several honours including the FA Cup and League Cup twice as well as several promotions. More recently Ron appeared in Celebrity Big Brother and as a pundit on MUTV and William Hill’s “The Punt” podcast.
