- 03 - OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE BY EDWIN MOSES, CHAIRMAN LAUREUS SPORT FOR GOOD FOUNDATION

hen Laureus was first established in 2000, there was little widespread understanding of how the power of sport could be used Wto change society and improve people’s lives. Today, thanks in part to the pioneering work of Laureus, there is a real awareness among governments and international agencies that sport can play a significant role in helping them to achieve their objectives.

Over the years Laureus has developed an innovative concept which has helped grassroots sport-based organisations to function effectively, derived from the vision of Nelson Mandela, the Patron of Laureus.

President Mandela told us in a speech he delivered at the first Laureus World Sports Awards ‘Sport has the power to change the world’ and subsequently the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation was formed with the mission to fund and promote the use of sport as a tool for social change.

Laureus today, as it was in the beginning, is still a funder of community sports programmes around the world. Indeed we have pumped more than €60 million into projects since 2000 and we currently support more than 140 projects in 34 countries. But in recent years Laureus has gone far beyond this and has pioneered significant innovations in the TOP: LAUREUS ACADEMY CHAIRMAN EDWIN MOSES SHOWS HIS STYLE IN THE sport for development world.

ADVOCACY

Laureus is now a significant and loud voice in the sport for development world. Laureus World Sports Academy Members, by nature of their success, are able to open doors and make governments and opinion makers listen. In 2012 and 2013 we saw initiatives promoting the use of sport, taking place around the world: Laureus representatives presented research and opinion for discussion on Capitol Hill in Washington, the UK House of Commons in London and at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Rio de Janeiro.

LAUREUS ACADEMY MEMBER NAWAL EL MOUTAWAKEL AT LAUREUS- RESEARCH SUPPORTED PEACEPLAYERS PROJECT IN

Laureus published seven research articles in 2012 in partnership with universities and other centres of sport science excellence around the world. This comes on the back of ground-breaking Laureus-funded research reports such as the Teenage Kicks and Sport Scores which showed that community sports projects are highly cost effective when it comes to tackling community challenges and can provide governments and tax payers with significant returns.

Laureus is more than ever committed to helping young people to transform their lives through the positive power of sport, now and in the future.

So there will be even fewer of software and support that helps sport for development opportunities for kids to really be active and to do sports organisations to measure their effectiveness. so I think it’s even more essential that Laureus does this work where we become really extremely efficient and make sure that the money goes in the right direction and that the programmes are implemented correctly.”

For years most information collected from Laureus projects was limited to data around funds received and activities being delivered (for example the number of youths accessing different types of sporting and educational sessions), rather than to outcomes, measuring actual life changes taking place as a result of those activities. Infocus allows Laureus and its network of supported projects to see their impact in much more detail, including life changes created for youths and also (as shown in the chart below) the impact Laureus has on the organisations it supports, who now receive a broad package of Laureus support spanning funding, software, tools, training and knowledge exchanges such as Laureus Global Summits.

But there was really no doubt that, having met some enjoying every minute of ROCINHA I remarkable young sports lovers there, it was just as inspiring an experience.

Michael, who won 22 Olympic medals in his career, including 18 gold medals, enjoyed every minute of his visit to Rocinha, on the eve of the Laureus World Sports Awards, though it must have been one of the most unusual settings he had ever swum in.

Complexo Esportivo da Rocinha (Rocinha Sports Centre), which was established in December 2010, is part of the Rio 2016 Olympic Development Programme. It currently benefits 4,500 people and offers 17 different sports, plus providing social and health services for the community.

It does great things each day for the young people of the area, but when it was opened no one ever imagined the great Michael Phelps would be giving swimming lessons there one day.

As he joined a large group of youngsters in the pool, Michael said: “Coming to the Laureus World Sports Awards has given me a great opportunity to visit Rocinha and get a feel for what is going on here. I enjoyed meeting some of the kids and I really feel sport is making a difference here.”

He talked to some of the youngsters about the basic principles of his Olympic success – Dream, Plan, Reach.

At the Laureus Awards Ceremony Michael was presented with a new Award – the Laureus Academy Exceptional Achievement Award. He said: “This is all a dream come true for me. I woke up with a dream as a kid to be the best that I could be and to be able to win this Award is amazing. To have the members of the Academy vote for this and give me this, I’m really at a loss for words.”

“It has been an amazing career and it is crazy to think that it is over. But I’ve done everything that I wanted to do in the sport. I wanted to change swimming and take it to another level, and I have. But I will continue to be a part of the sport and continue to help grow the sport of swimming.
