Leading Your Best Life with Leigh Farnell

Do words come back to 'bite' you?

Can a simple joke have massive implications and consequences?

This podcast is in the middle of a sporting controversy right now in Australia.

Did the words of one player cause them to lose an elimination final that meant their whole season was wasted?

Can just a few words lead to massive negative consequences?

People all over Australia are talking about this right now.

What does it have to do with you?

How one AFL footballers 'joking.. cheeky' words were used to motivate the opposition team to rebound and snuff out his team's chances.

I am not the only one talking about this..

Check out AFL Champion Matthew Lloyd talking about this at the 8 minute 30 mark of this video clip - https://youtu.be/_DHfrL4i_zw?si=X237fcXuJyeJ3IgF

Here is what journalist Caroline Wilson wrote about it - https://www.themercury.com.au/sport/afl/caroline-wilson-says-jack-ginnivan-antics-cost-hawthorn-a-win-premiership/news-story/6e57ed9cf991448192199465aabaf726

Here is a small except from her story:

'But the drama erupted after full-time when Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley unloaded a verbal barrage on the 21-year-old Ginnivan, sparked by a social media comment earlier in the week.

Ginnivan ignited tensions with a cheeky social media comment as he responded a post from the Swans’ Brodie Grundy by writing: “see u in 14 days”.

Hawks skipper James Sicily began returned fire, defending his player with the ugly situation even spreading to the celebration of Luke Breust’s 300th game.

Hinkley addressed the situation immediately as his press conference began, saying he had “some words with a Hawthorn player that I wish I hadn’t had in a moment I shouldn’t have had”.

Hinkley also admitted he used the social media comment to inspire his players, saying he found it “disrespectful”.

It’s seen the Port coach fined $20,000 by the AFL, as well as being slammed as the debate over the situation rages on.'

What has this got to do with you?

1. Use your words wisely
2. Take care what you say about your competition in the media/ marketplace
3. All decisions have consequences
4. Don't give your competition unnecessary reasons to go after you. There are enough reasons already
5. Be creative in getting better and adding value vs knocking your competition or giving them reasons to make a target out of you
