Consensus Group is thrilled to team up with No Goalie No Game and Tony Talks, the podcast dedicated to goalkeeping, as part of our mission to foster happiness and healthy work environments. Together, we’re shining a light on the often-unseen dedication that keeps sports thriving, drawing a powerful parallel to the invaluable efforts of cleaners, hospitality workers, and other behind-the-scenes heroes.
Just as goalkeepers are essential to the game yet often underappreciated, so too are the groundskeepers, custodians, and staff who make every match possible. England FA UEFA Licensed goalkeeper coaches Tony Elliott and Matt George, along with Anzen GK Glove founder Jim Hepworth and our own Jamie Laurentius, are creating a platform to amplify the voices in elite goalkeeping.
Partnerships for social change
Reflecting on recent collaborations with MOJO and Alp d’Huzes, Glenn Laurentius shares, "These partnerships have given us an up-close view of the profound impact larger events can have—not only on participants but also on the teams working tirelessly behind the scenes to make them possible." Rob Boele adds, "This opportunity arose to focus on the work of coaches on a more ignored part of one of the biggest sports in the world. We see a parallel with facility and hospitality managers. Our previous Women in Cleaning and United in Cleaning projects have provided us with key insights into the importance of creating healthy and happy work environments and talking about it. Unappreciation is, according to studies, one of the roots of modern-day burnouts. Our focus is people, planet, and tomorrow. We're enthusiastic to become an official sponsor of No Goalie No Game."
Sport is social glue
We see sport as social glue and key for social change. Furthering our commitment, our collaborations with Sport City and Gumdrop, Safe Stride, at the Aviva Stadium have underscored how sustainable solutions can immediately impact the environment while driving long-term cost savings and success for facilitators. Consensus is here to tailor-make plans for circular success, championing stories and innovations that honor the dedication of the unseen heroes in sport and beyond.
