Why is employing athletes a smart choice?

Employing athletes in your company means bringing discipline, resilience and motivation to continuous improvement to the work environment.

We recently participated in the UniCredit Corporate Relay where our runners competed in two teams and achieved a great 14th place. a 143.
place.
Taking part in this competition reminded us of the benefits of employing athletes.

Athletes have an incredible personal discipline coded into them.
Regular training and adherence to a demanding regime are a given for them.
This attitude can be perfectly transferred to working life, where discipline plays a key role.
Employers can expect athletes to adhere to work schedules, deliver projects on time, and be reliable and accountable.
Their ability to not give up at the first sign of trouble is a quality every recruiter looks for.
Athletes like to overcome obstacles and look for ways to succeed.
While others may quickly lose motivation when they fail, athletes see challenges as opportunities for personal growth.

Continuous improvement

For athletes, meeting goals is completely natural. Setting new, often ambitious goals and achieving them is what not only drives them forward, it can often pull their colleagues along with them… This intrinsic motivation is also key in a corporate environment, where a natural desire to improve can lead to significant company growth.

Athletes are also excellent team players.
In sports, success often depends on good cooperation between team members.
The ability to work together, to support colleagues while using their individual skills is something that athletes carry over into their working lives.

Values and ethics

A strongly developed sense of fair-play is another important characteristic of athletes.
Respect for the rules, honesty and ethical behaviour are key both on the sports field and in the work environment.
These values are transferable to business relationships, where fair-play and ethics are the foundation of trustworthy and long-term business relationships.

Athletes can also accept their own failure.
For them, losing is not the end, but the beginning of a new stage of improvement.
Rather, they see constructive criticism as a chance for growth and an opportunity to become better.
The ability to handle negative situations with calmness and openness is important for companies because it helps create an environment where accepting feedback and continuous learning is part of everyday practice.

In addition to all these skills, athletes also know how to clear their heads and relax.
In fact, active rest and regeneration are an integral part of life for them.
They know that a balance between work and leisure is important for maintaining long-term productivity and mental health.
The athletes show how important it is to be able to relax and recharge when it is simply “too much”.

Why give athletes a chance

Employing athletes in the company means bringing discipline, resilience and motivation to continuous improvement to the work environment.
Athletes are an example of how you can overcome challenges, work on yourself and inspire others.
Their values and skills can be key to the success of the whole company.
If you are looking for employees who will bring not only high performance to your company, but also positive energy and motivation to the entire team, athletes are a great choice
