What high school sport means to prominent Canadians... "Athletics
is about personal achievement and personal growth. Having played
team sports in high school and university, it is also about teamwork
and strong friendships that have the potential to last a lifetime.
My involvement in athletics continues to hold many fond memories
for me.
"High school sports was the key that opened up a new series of doors for me. It allowed me to start on the journey of how important high school sports, and physical fitness are to an individual. High school sports showed me the importance of attitude, motivation, competition, and teamwork, and allowed me to understand that as years went by, if you were still thinking about what you did yesterday you probably haven't done much today." Chris Walby,
retired Athlete, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, CBC commentator
"In today's business climate, we continually hear about the need to be globally competitive. The basic skills and concepts I see in my business career to attain that competitiveness, I learned participating in high school athletics. Concepts like teamwork, focus on goals, integrity, and just plain hard work, apply to the boardroom as they do on the basketball court, hockey rink, or football field, and I am using them everyday of my life." Paul Soubry
Jr., President ,Standard Aero Limited
"School sports was a huge motivator for me, and the major focus of school life. The skills I use most in my life today, at home, and work, were those learned and reinforced through sport. There is no better classroom for learning teamwork, cooperation, selfmotivation, and control, discipline, and leadership, than through school sport." Carol Ploen-Hosegood,
Business Person,
