Design your future –
it’s cool to succeed!

The winner’s mindset:
lessons from the world of sport


Thursday 30 April 2020, 3.00pm

A conversation with Matt Messias, former Premier League referee, and Pete Lowe, long time Manchester City coach, facilitated by John Savage, Civil Engineer and of Constructing Excellence Somerset Club.

If you are serious about learning how to become a higher performing professional or tradesperson in construction, then listening to the recording of this webinar will be really valuable opportunity.

Some of the issues we discussed include:

  • Why it’s all about values – it’s the little things that count. “When it’s right off the field, it’s right on field.”
  • My life. My choices. Making the most of the hand you are dealt.
  • Embracing failure. A winner’s mindset.
  • What one thing can I do to change my life for the better?

Our panellists have fascinating careers in both sport as well as education so are very qualified to share highly relevant experience and perspectives.

Pete Lowe

Pete Lowe worked with Manchester City Football Club for thirteen years, during which time he helped put in place a training program that cultivated strong teams as well as strong players. In his role as a coach and the Head of Education and Performance Management, Pete learned how to navigate a high-pressure environment that demanded sustained success. Pete knows how to make the ‘glue’ that helps teams stick and work together and he applies that knowledge now to businesses.

Pete recognised early on that competitive sports had many lessons to teach the business world. The skills cultivated by a football coach over the course of his career can be invaluable to an entrepreneur or a business owner. This includes the ability to recognise the right talent for a given position, the ability to adapt to ever-evolving market conditions and seize new opportunities, as well as the creation of a culture based around strategy – having a plan to win and being able to
execute it.
