Can Sport Build Bridges - Or Burn Them?

In this solo episode, Trisha opens a new series on sport, and how it can both build bridges and burn them.Every sporting event has three kinds of people: those playing, those watching, and those running it. Are they all having the same experience of connection — or is being near someone quietly different from being with them? Using Gordon Allport's contact hypothesis, Trisha tests a Saturday morning at the local park against a World Cup, asking who might be getting more out of it than we assume.If a sporting moment has ever shifted you, or told you that you didn't belong, Trisha wants to hear it in your voice.Make sure you join Trisha in this journey of growth and discovery throughout the year via Substack or LinkedIn.Resources mentioned:"The Nature of Prejudice" by Gordon AllportParkrunReferenced in this episode:Episode 70 - Ned Legaspi, on storytelling and the Bamboo FrameworkEpisode 75 - Chika Miyamori, on building bridges across differencesEpisode 76 - Dr. David Livermore, on Beyond CQEpisode 77 - Dr. David Livermore, on Prism and leadershipEpisode 82 - Mike Newton, on music and perspectiveEpisode 84 - Music Is Universal, Music Is Particular.
