PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE SPORTS PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Smart Design Drives Success
The way a venue looks and flows shapes how people experience it. From arrival and check-in to how players and spectators move through the space, good design improves satisfaction and boosts retention and spend.
2. Design for movement, access, and impact.
From bottlenecks to signage, every detail matters. Thoughtful layouts increase user flow, reduce friction, and amplify key revenue points like retail, seating, and concessions.
3. Start With the End in Mind
Great sports facilities begin with the right questions:
- Who will use this space?
- What sports will it serve?
- What atmosphere are we building?
Every choice—from materials to programming is guided by long-term relevance and return on investment.
4. Demographics Drive Design
What works for an elite club may not suit a regional hub. Todd analyses demographics, sport trends, and growth opportunities to align each facility with its most profitable and impactful mix of services, from golf simulators to emerging sports like Padel
5. Culture Starts With Leadership
Facilities thrive when leadership is clear, aligned, and culture-focused. Todd integrates leadership frameworks that empower staff, increase member retention, and create inclusive, energised environments.
6. Atmosphere is a Strategic Asset
Buzz creates loyalty. Whether you’re building a grassroots centre or an elite facility, creating a dynamic and welcoming atmosphere is key. Todd ensures that every design decision supports vibrant energy that makes people want to return.
7. Purpose Shapes Programming
Each venue has its own identity. A government-run regional facility operates differently from a private club or school. Todd tailors strategy pricing, memberships, service delivery, and scheduling to align with each facility’s unique purpose and long-term vision.
8. Build More Than a Court Build a Community Hub
Sport is the drawcard, but connection is what keeps people coming back. Todd designs multi-use spaces that support not just play, but social connection, relaxation, and belonging transforming sporting venues into community anchors.
