Because a gym is a place to focus on physical and mental conditioning, paying members may assume that all facilities are designed to elevate and enhance their performance.

We spend a lot of time tinkering with macronutrients, sleep trackers, and equipment to optimize performance, productivity, and recovery. Eventually, we find the right balance and learn to adopt the lifestyle that makes us feel good. But many of us are forgetting a whole set of factors to help us enhance our mental and physical health: our physical environment. Yes, even the color of the paint can make an impact, and studies show that some of these factors in your home may be just as important as nutrition. Just like fitness, nutrition, and anything else that’s good for you, there is no silver bullet, but using these recommendations to optimize your home office is guaranteed to show results.

After years of practicing sustainability in the international real estate industry, Kristen identified the vastly impactful potential to fuse sport and sustainability. We discuss this largely unexplored topic on the latest Wild Spaces Podcast

Kristen Fulmer brings a wealth of non-sports experience with her as the Founder of Recipric. Careful to distinguish it as an agency not a consultancy, Recipric is seeking to redefine homefield advantage by working with organizations to bring sustainability to many facets of an operation. A big part of this effort is related to the environment and finding energy and waste reductions, but Kristen also works with teams to find efficiencies and opportunities to improve performance of both front office staff and players. Kristen views the events of 2020 as a great opportunity to do things differently as arenas and stadiums slowly begin filling again. She also sees the past year as pivotal for athletes and teams pursuing social justice, which she feels is in line with sustainability goals.

Ever wondered which sports team has the most sustainable fans? From the perspective of a rights holder, this is becoming a critical question. The answers will drive business decisions for venue operations, fan engagement and brand partnership activation. For the green sports movement, the answers may be the key to solidifying the importance of integrating sustainability into sports. A new report by Recipric, powered by Zoomph’s technology, helps us understand the answer.

A quantitative research study was conducted to gauge their attitudes towards the environment and environmentally-related issues on behalf of the Green Sports Alliance. In 2014. To my knowledge, that is the only large scale, fans-and-the-environment study that has been fielded in Green-Sports history. It is incredible to me that the sports world, which has been greening itself since the early 2000s, knows so little about what fans think about the environment and climate change and the greening efforts of their favorite teams.

Research conducted by Recipric and Zoomph can help sports teams make fan engagement and brand partnership decisions, says Kristen Fulmer

While the connection between sport, climate, social justice, and mission-driven work is gaining momentum by the day, the topics are generally addressed separately. However, it is becoming more evident that the key to impactful positive change is through the power of sport.
