In finite games, like football or chess, the players are known, the rules are fixed, and the endpoint is clear. The winners and losers are easily identified.  

In infinite games, like business or politics or life itself, the players come and go, the rules are changeable, and there is no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers in an infinite game; there is only ahead and behind.  

'Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset, in stark contrast, build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Their people trust each other and their leaders. They have the resilience to thrive in an ever-changing world, while their competitors fall by the wayside. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead the rest of us into the future' - Simon Sinek  

Huge thank you to BSUK and Drew Spencer for allowing me to use this footage from the 2021 BSUK Coaching Summit. This presentation is amazing and i'm so happy to be able to share it with all of you.  Great Britain Baseball Head Coach, Drew Spencer, delivered an inspiring and engaging presentation at the 2021 BSUK Coaching Summit in January,  talking about Building the team, connecting the entire GB program, creating a virtual clubhouse, coaches all talking/working together, leadership councils, GB Way coaches group & Saturday morning chats, building pride into the program and the way the infinite game can play a part in it, but what is the infinite game and how does it apply to baseball? listen on and get inspired.
