ABSTRACT
In January 2020, the outbreak of the Corona virus across the globe caused the World Health Organization to issue warnings of an international pandemic on a scale never before seen. The world ground to a halt within a matter of weeks. This chapter explores the reactions, feelings and reflections of the first ten weeks of lockdown in England of Josh - a Performance Lifestyle Advisor for the English Institute of Sport - and the elite swimmers he supports. Salient events from the lockdown period - such as the move to land-based training, the delay of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the rising of social justice movements - are theorised to explore both the practical and existential challenges that arose from home confinement. The chapter concludes with considerations of how the COVID-19 pandemic might serve as a catalyst to reconceptualise staff and athlete mental health and wellbeing in a design that surpasses prioritising performance and, instead, seeks to prioritise the person first and the athlete second. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Natalie Campbell, Abbe Brady and Alison Tincknell-Smith.
ABSTRACT
Public services have recently experienced a 'perfect storm': dealing with challenges including the task demands of Covid-19, increased financial pressures derived from the pandemic and its impact on future revenue flows, and obligations to meet carbon reduction targets. In the UK they have also been impacted by Brexit. However, limited formal programmes are available to public service organizations (PSOs) that enhance the capabilities required to develop solutions to their challenges. This article presents a novel programme for PSOs that supports them in co-designing regional new service solutions that embed circular economy principles.
