LONDON, ENGLAND, August 26, 2011
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Harvard Business School conducted a study of 30 graduates who have become successful entrepreneurs and found almost 96% had played individual or team sports in their youth. Josh Cote has coached many budding entrepreneurs and also run successful businesses in both the USA , United Kingdom and European markets. Josh Cote believes many attributes leading to the success of many of these ventures can be attributed to skills developed through sports.
Josh Cote graduated with a BA in Sports Management from Springfield College, Massachusetts, US and played American Football throughout his four year degree. "I strongly believe my sporting background particularly from College assisted with building my confidence and pursuit of excellence, developing a strong work ethic and assisted with my ability to set goals. All of which have proved extremely relevant in business and the development of my companies," says Josh Cote.
Many sports and athletic skills such as teamwork, goal-setting, developing strategy and driving competition can assist with creating ambition and produce an entrepreneurial spirit. 'Being a successful entrepreneur and developing a winning business model requires a person who is decisive and level headed which tends to be a skill that is developed through life experiences like working in a fast paced high-pressure business environment or out on a football pitch where every second counts' adds Josh Cote.
James Shulman, author of The Game of Life: College Sport and Educational Values, considers many sporting attributes throughout his book and their transition into business. Josh Cote deems a quality regarded as a characteristic of an entrepreneur wanting their business to succeed is passion. "Having hunger for success and loving what you do is so important for the success of a business. I love sports, I'm competitive but fair and have taken every opportunity to use my sports attributes in business wherever possible," says Josh Cote.
Josh Cote has had much success as an entrepreneur; he has grown his organisation through one of the toughest economic climates in recent years and credit's much of the success to perseverance, the ability to adapt to change and using his many skills developed from team sports.
Josh Cote is dedicated to fostering greater education in entrepreneurship and plans to offer further business development opportunities.
