Manchester United: Creating Winning Moments - The Art & Science of Talent Management was a presentation delivered to England Athletics in April 2016 by Tony Strudwick.
Much of what was set out in the presentation has come to pass in the eight years since. It illustrates how Manchester United sought to create “winning moments” by staying ahead of the curve: leading rather than following, and combining strategic foresight with excellence in talent management.
This is where every competitive organisation aims to operate. Creating the conditions for sustained success, mastery and excellence.

Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation gives the Kingdom an advantage many sporting nations did not possess during their early phases of system development. National platforms such as Sehaty, Tawakkalna, Absher, Nafath, Mawid, and the national health portals already coordinate identity, health records, appointments, and communication between institutions and citizens. These systems demonstrate that digital coordination can operate reliably at national scale and across diverse regions.

My force-velocity video Intro (24:00 Mins) is designed for coaches who need guidance on what to do with force–velocity test results and how to translate them into training and performance decisions. I start by describing which qualities need to be developed based on the profile, and how to optimise speed-, strength-, or balanced-dominant profiles when goalkeepers show a major deficit, minor deficit, or a balanced force–velocity profile.

Every sport system has a participation base and an elite tier. What distinguishes mature systems from emerging ones is not the top or the bottom, but the middle layer, the infrastructure that connects daily training environments, medical and performance systems, regional capability, and long term athlete development.

Federations within rapidly developing sport ecosystems do not evolve uniformly. Different sports progress at different speeds depending on participation growth, governance clarity, workforce depth, and system integration. The Federation Capability Maturity Model provides a shared language for understanding this progression.
